Client-anonymized operating experience

The operating scope of past projects

Client names remain private; vaccine studies are shown by name with their own project figures.

15–25 °C · Multi-site programme

Nationwide supply for a smoking-cessation programme

Project scope224 centres · 164,733 participants · 247,435 medicine boxes

The project summary records medicine supply at 15–25 °C across a network involving 400 physicians and 650 assistant healthcare personnel. The box and participant figures belong to this past programme.

For sponsors: Site-level demand, stock units and the delivery calendar should be defined together at the start of scoping.

Distribution service

2–8 °C · Phase 3

Coronovac Phase 3

Project scope24 sites · 26,180 vaccines · 2–8 °C

The Coronovac Phase 3 summary records a 24-site scope for vaccines with a 2–8 °C temperature profile. This quantity belongs to this Phase 3 study alone and is not combined with the other vaccine projects.

For sponsors: Site allocation and cold-chain requirements should be specified for each study and shipment plan.

Storage service

2–8 °C · Phase 3

Turkovac Phase 3

Project scope8 sites · 1,290 people × 2 administrations · 2,580 vaccines

The Turkovac Phase 3 summary lists 2,580 vaccines for two administrations to 1,290 people across eight sites under a 2–8 °C profile. Participant, administration and product counts are distinct planning inputs.

For sponsors: Calculate product demand from the administration schedule, not the site count alone.

Storage service

2–8 °C · Phase 2b

Rapel Phase 2b

Project scope41 sites · 4,340 vaccines · 2–8 °C

The Rapel Phase 2b summary records 4,340 vaccines across a 41-site study scope under a 2–8 °C profile. The breadth of the site network is a planning variable separate from product quantity.

For sponsors: Prepare site-level demand, delivery windows and recipient contacts separately.

Storage service

15–25 °C · Non-drug study

Research material for a non-drug clinical study

Project scope14 sites · 4,484 boxes · 15–25 °C

The summary of a clinical study described as non-drug records 4,484 boxes of research material for 14 sites under a 15–25 °C profile. The product is not labelled as a medicine or medical device without a separate classification check.

For sponsors: State the product classification, box/stock unit and site allocation in the initial brief.

Short answer

What does this service actually solve?

Is IRT integration mandatory?

It depends on the study; an approved manual order model can be scoped.
