Just as the market players are always changing so are the products.
Keeping up with this ever-changing industry is difficult. Certain third-party logistics (3PLs) ship biological and pharmaceutical products, but not food, and vice versa. There are different challenges within each segment as well as different competitors. It is broken down into three distinct market segments: Biologicals, Pharmaceuticals, and Food.
The cold chain shipping industry is expanding with new products coming to market quickly. Succinctly, these issues make managing the cold chain difficult even if have perfect shipping procedures. These difficulties don’t even encompass the traditional supply chain issues such as inclement weather, shipping accidents, or infrastructure breakdowns. Some customers have specific packaging requests, or may not be present at the time of delivery. Seasonal temperature fluctuations as well as varying temperature profiles make the challenge of maintaining the internal product temperature increasingly difficult. Several factors can disrupt this cold chain from functioning properly. If these requirements are not met the product will spoil resulting in major problems for both BD and the customer. Many of these shipments have strict temperature and time requirements. BD ships in single doses as well as multiple dose shipments. Becton Dickinson (BD) Biosciences ships their products to research and development firms both domestically and internationally.
