Conforming to the law we take the shipping and the whole logistics of medications and healthcare product samples.

Pharmaceuticals manufacturers and wholesalers provide samples to healthcare providers to demonstrate their healthcare products, especially medications. To comply with statutory requirements on guaranteeing maximum safety and transparency, the sample medications process has to be documented down to the most minute detail.

Distribution of medication samples – that’s easier said than done

For example, Article 47 Section 4 of the German Medical Preparations Act (AMG) stipulates that manufacturers may supply two samples in the smallest packaging size per medication and doctor annually. As more than 314,912 doctors practise in Germany (source: German Medical Association, 2007) shipping samples so they are compliant with the law, is a huge challenge and requires a great deal of admin.

arvato services healthcare supports its customers with tailor-made logistics solutions. Together with our customers, we develop and implement an optimal and above all safe process for the entire quantity control process and distribution of the samples to the doctors. On behalf of our customers, we ensure that all statutory requirements for allocating pharmaceuticals are kept to.
