A Governance Layer for Pharmaceutical Transport Compliance

Pharmaceutical Companies

Must ensure that their transport providers comply with GDP requirements — but often lack structured, continuous oversight mechanisms.

Logistics Providers

Must demonstrate GDP compliance to pharmaceutical customers — but face repeated, overlapping audits from multiple clients.

In practice — fragmented governance and duplicated audits across the supply chain.

The GDP Governance Framework connects both sides.

An independent governance structure that creates a transparent compliance record for transport providers and structured oversight for pharmaceutical companies — replacing fragmented processes with a single, shared governance layer.

The GDP Governance Framework

The governance model consists of four core elements that create continuous oversight of pharmaceutical transport providers.

Audit

Independent GDP transport audits conducted at logistics providers.

Qualification

Structured evaluation and qualification status of the transport provider.

Continuous Monitoring

Ongoing monitoring of compliance performance and operational indicators.

CAPA Oversight

Tracking and verification of corrective and preventive actions.

Governance Reports

The framework produces structured governance reports that document compliance status and create transparency between pharmaceutical companies and logistics providers.

For Pharmaceutical Companies

Inspection Report

A structured overview of the governance status of a logistics provider. Supports pharmaceutical companies during internal reviews and regulatory inspections.
