Ohio-based CSafe has introduced a mobile app to help pharmaceutical cold chain teams monitor, act and manage shipments from anywhere.

The mobile app extends CSafe Connect platform capabilities to warehouse floors, tarmacs and operations on the move.

CSafe provides temperature-controlled shipping technology for the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry. The mobile app extends the company’s cloud-based CSafe Connect platform to mobile devices, giving pharmaceutical manufacturers, freight forwarders and airlines real-time access to shipment data, container monitoring and lease management from any location.

The CSafe Connect platform is used by cold chain teams worldwide to manage active and passive container shipments, track data, and coordinate logistics. Until now, that capability has been tied to desktop access. The mobile app brings the same functionality to the warehouse floor, airports and wherever operations take teams, without requiring a return to the desktop.

Users can place lease orders and view lease and data on the go. They can monitor container conditions and GPS location in real time from any location, and access shipment data on demand.

In pharmaceutical cold chain logistics, the ability to respond quickly to a shipment irregularity can determine whether a therapy arrives viable. The mobile app is designed to enable shipment monitoring on the go, supporting freight forwarders and airline teams in protecting shipment integrity and reducing the risk of product loss. It is also said to be the first mobile offering of its kind in the pharmaceutical cold chain space.

“The CSafe Connect platform was built to give our customers visibility and confidence throughout the shipping journey,” said Patrick Schafer, CEO of Csafe (csafeglobal.com). “The mobile app takes that further by making sure the information they need is available wherever they are, not just at a desk.”

The mobile app is available to existing CSafe Connect customers as part of their platform access and to new CSafe Connect customers once onboarded. It is available on iOS and Android.
