When PostNL, the premier courier and postal service in the Netherlands, sought to ensure their medicinal consignments stayed within precise temperature parameters, they found an ideal ally in Simbase.

Together, the two innovated a solution that not only meets but exceeds the rigorous standards of Good Distribution Practices (GDP).

Delivering Care with Precision

Medications, vaccines, and medical devices necessitate special handling. Their quality must remain uncompromised throughout the delivery chain. PostNL was committed to making sure every shipment was transported with the utmost care, according to GDP guidelines. Their ambition: to maintain a consistent temperature, security, and optimal hygienic conditions for each package.

The challenge, however, was how to guarantee real-time monitoring and traceability in a vast and complex logistics network.

The Simbase Solution: IoT at Its Best

Simbase, as an IoT connectivity provider, offered the perfect solution — advanced temperature trackers equipped with real-time data transmission capabilities.

These trackers integrated seamlessly with PostNL's existing Pharma & Care network, offering real-time insights through an advanced track & trace system.

Features and Benefits

Assured Temperature Control: With Simbase’s technology, PostNL could maintain two critical temperature zones: 2-8°C and 15-25°C. This was pivotal for delicate cargo, such as vaccines, including the Covid-19 variant.

Real-time Monitoring: The continuous electronic recording and storage of temperature changes, coupled with the ability to pinpoint the location and current temperature of the transport space, empowered PostNL with unparalleled oversight of their shipments.

Flexibility and Reach: Be it overnight deliveries, international consignments, or urgent courier requirements, the Simbase-empowered PostNL network ensured optimal conditions for each package, regardless of its destination.

PostNL's dedication to precise medical deliveries has yielded remarkable outcomes:

• Successful medicinal shipments within exact temperature parameters.

• A boost in customer satisfaction from hospitals, and home-based patients.
