Navigating the future of pharma logistics in Sri Lanka with Technology

The pharmaceutical and medical needs of Sri Lankan consumers are currently met through a combination of imports (Approx. 85%) and local production (Approx. 15%). The Sri Lankan Government actively supports the growth of pharma manufacturing to reduce dependency on imports. With shippers and 3PLs experiencing accelerated growth plans due to COVID-19, the demand for increased cold chain capacity is evident for the next three years. Manufacturers and importers are grappling with the challenge of managing logistics operations within their existing capacity, emphasizing the significance of 3PL experts.

In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry in Sri Lanka has undergone a significant transformation, largely driven by technology and innovative logistics solutions. This digital revolution has not only improved the efficiency of the pharmaceutical supply chain but also ensured the safe and timely delivery of critical medical supplies. At EFL 3PL, we take great pride in our position as a pioneering logistics company that is playing a pivotal role in reshaping the pharma logistics landscape in Sri Lanka. Partnering with us means gaining access to a trusted ally who understands the complexities of the industry and has the expertise to navigate them effectively.

Pharmaceutical logistics companies in Sri Lanka have traditionally faced challenges such as ensuring the integrity of temperature-sensitive drugs and maintaining strict compliance with regulatory standards. The need for a reliable and tech-driven supply chain became even more apparent with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, where the demand for pharmaceuticals surged, and supply chains were put to the test.

EFL 3PL, recognising these challenges, has leveraged cutting-edge technology to revolutionise pharmaceutical supply chain management. We have introduced innovative solutions like temperature-controlled storage and transportation with sensor-based monitoring, real-time tracking of the movement of the products, and authentication systems.

This transparency ensures that any deviations from the intended route or delays are promptly addressed, reducing the risk of stockouts or wastage.
