The problem

What goes wrong today

Today
A shipment temperature alert or site delivery exception can involve a batch, several trial sites and multiple teams. Operations need to gather the evidence, understand what is affected and route a documented decision to the right reviewers.
Who feels it: Clinical supply operations, quality teams and distribution coordinators

How it runs on TechAppForce

A day with it, step by step

Amber steps wait in a person's work inbox; everything else moves on its own.

  1. An exception is receivedA coordinator records a shipment alert and links it to the batch, destination site and available evidence.
  2. Site impact is checkedOperations records which sites and kits may be affected and assigns each follow-up check.
  3. Evidence is assembledCarrier documents and event readings are linked to a single exception record.
  4. Quality reviews the caseQuality reviewThe assigned reviewer records a decision under the organisation’s own validated procedure.
  5. Follow-up is visibleA queue and report show the decision, owner and remaining actions for the supply team.
Illustration. The organisation and people are invented.
