Supply Chain Management: Real-Time Tracking, Trusted Alliances, Ensured Integrity
Biotech and pharmaceutical companies leverage Sentry's contract pharmaceutical manufacturing background and a versatile network of quality logistics providers to successfully plan, source, make and deliver temperature-sensitive products. Sentry adheres to the Supply-Chain Council's Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR®) model. The model provides a framework linking processes, metrics, best practices and technology into a unified structure to support supply chain communication and improve management effectiveness. Planning, sourcing, making, delivering and returning processes comprise the foundation of the SCOR® model.
Sentry's core functions extend to all supply chain interdependencies. This unified, cohesive approach integrates manufacturers, researchers, distributors, software systems, consultants and channel supply partners to meet emerging customer expectations.
From early-phase shipper and channel qualification to supporting cost-effective commercial product launches, Sentry utilizes biopharma experience and relationships with qualified vendors, brokers and manufacturers to design and implement domestic and international supply chain solutions.
