Consignor requirement and custody workflow

Every control on a pharmaceutical movement originates in the consignor's written instruction. Nothing is assumed on the consignor's behalf.

  • Packaging respected — Handling follows the packaging system the consignor supplies.
  • Custody hand-off — Collection and hand-off contacts are agreed before dispatch.
  • Booking-specific check — Vehicle suitability confirmed for that consignment, not in general.
  • Planned route — Route and timing agreed against the delivery window.
