When you partner with UPS, you'll gain the human capital, expertise, global infrastructure, and proven solutions to make healthcare storage and logistics painless. Expand your global footprint on a compressed timeline. Scale capacity up or down to meet market demand—without the overhead and global workforce burden.
And imagine when you're free to focus on your core business, how you can fill that immediately available global operation with new or larger inventories of life-saving discoveries.
Mid- and large-scale healthcare firms including pharmaceutical, biopharma, medical device and medical/surgical supply, that have complex product shipping and distribution requirements.
The healthcare industry is highly competitive, so an optimized supply chain can be a major point of differentiation. UPS has built our extensive storage and distribution network around healthcare business needs. Empower your supply chain performance with our six million square feet of healthcare-compliant warehouse space across more than 50 worldwide healthcare-dedicated facilities. Capitalize on our turnkey inventory and distribution services to rapidly and strategically respond to opportunities, market changes, and global health needs.
Global distribution facilities, experienced global talent pool, established processes, integrated transportation, and management technology—all here so you can do more and go further.
With our growing global network of healthcare-compliant distribution facilities, we can help you plan and stage inventory where needed and fulfill orders quickly and accurately. We combine the reach of more than 950 global Field Stocking Locations with our technology platform for order and inventory visibility and a full range of transportation options to cost-effectively meet your surgical, pharmaceutical, and equipment needs.
For companies with temperature-sensitive storage needs, UPS has multiple cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) and PDMA (Prescription Drug Marketing Act) compliant distribution centers. We offer advanced security systems and chain of custody protocols for high-value and controlled products. These facilities offer turnkey, scalable alternatives to the substantial capital investment required to develop, build, validate, license, and manage an in-sourced healthcare warehouse.
Combined with our network of field stocking locations, we have distribution management technology and established processes that allow you to strategically position your product close to your customers, while speeding transit and lowering overall transportation costs. Tap into our WMS software and vendor-managed inventory model to improve the timing of inbound shipments, streamline stock, adjust replenishment schedules, and reduce carrying costs — no matter how many suppliers and end points are involved.
When everyone is vested in superior outcomes, obstacles become opportunities. When you partner with UPS, you tap into our over 3,000 global healthcare logistics experts who closely collaborate with your teams to help keep products safe, patients healthy, and supply chains working efficiently.
Our healthcare team includes quality assurance and regulatory affairs experts, along with logistics, medical, operations, and marketing professionals who are well-positioned to deliver on your specific challenge. Whether pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biotechnology, medical and surgical supplies, over-the-counter preparation, or animal health, UPS can help you create your most effective supply chain solution compliantly and profitably.
For times when repair of non-regulated devices is required or maintenance is needed, rely on our service parts logistics. We can provide fast inventory access and expedited repairs to minimize downtime, helping you satisfy customer service agreements. We can also deliver the critical replacement parts by next day, or in many cases, within a few hours, meeting the needs of both doctors and patients. And our returns handling capabilities help make your reverse logistics more efficient.
