Reducing risk for pharma company transport

A crucial responsibility for any transportation leader is managing risk on a daily basis and understanding where their attention is most urgently required. This is especially important for the pharmaceutical and drug industry, where accuracy and timeliness can be critical to saving lives.

The MercuryGate transportation management platform provides alerts for both explicit exceptional events and probable exceptions, based on the absence of shipment and load updates within a required timeframe.

This prioritized exception management goes beyond just presenting out-of-tolerance conditions by indicating the steps needed to address the condition. Through the exception dashboard, the system provides users with total network visibility of freight, carrier, and user performance.
