Pharma 3PL-to-7PL Consolidation
The Challenge
A mid-market pharmaceutical distributor managed four separate vendors: a regional LTL carrier, a cold-storage warehouse, a customs broker, and a compliance consultant. Miscommunication caused a temperature excursion that destroyed $180K in inventory and triggered an FDA documentation review.
The Solution
Quantum Logistics Group assumed end-to-end accountability as a 7PL partner. We consolidated transportation, warehousing, brokerage, and compliance under one management layer with unified SOPs, shared KPI dashboards, and a single escalation path.
The Results
Zero temperature excursions in the following 18 months. Documentation audit readiness improved from 3 weeks to 48 hours. Total logistics cost reduced by 14% through volume consolidation and rate renegotiation.
