What a cold chain breach really costs

Every break in the cold chain has consequences. Financially, regulatorily and for patient safety.

Product loss

A 30-minute interruption of the cold chain can destroy a full batch. For biologics: damages running into the hundreds of thousands of euros.

GDP breaches

Non-compliant transports put your GDP certification at risk. Audits become tougher and customers lose trust.

Patient safety

Temperature-damaged medicines can lose their efficacy. The result: delayed therapies and, in the worst case, health risks.

Delivery delays

When a transport fails, production stops. The domino effect hits the entire supply chain.

Pharmaceutical transports across Europe

Why TempSecure for your pharma logistics?

We understand the specific demands of the pharmaceutical industry. Every transport is executed with the utmost care and full compliance.

GDP compliance

Fully GDP-certified since January 2026. All processes are documented, validated and auditable against EU guidelines.

Real-time tracking via Tive

Seamless temperature monitoring every 5 minutes. Cloud-based data, available at any time to you and your auditors.

24/7 availability

A personal contact around the clock. Response time under 30 minutes – including weekends and public holidays.

SOPs & documentation

Standardised processes for every transport step. Seamless documentation for your GDP audits and quality requirements.

Why GDP compliance is critical

Good Distribution Practice (GDP) is the European standard for the safe transport of medicines. Mandatory since 2013, GDP ensures that medicinal products remain in perfect condition on their entire journey from manufacturer to patient.

For you as a pharmaceutical company this means: every service provider in your supply chain must operate in line with GDP. A single non-compliant transport can put your entire distribution authorisation at risk.

TempSecure has been GDP-certified since January 2026. Our processes, vehicles and packaging are fully validated. Every transport is documented and remains traceable for your auditors at any time.

Our GDP measures

  • Seamless temperature documentation for every shipment
  • Qualified packaging solutions (va-Q-tec, Intelsius)
  • Calibrated vehicles with regular maintenance
  • SOPs for every process step
  • Root cause analysis on every deviation

Pricing & billing

What does a pharmaceutical transport cost?

Pharmaceutical transports are not sold at a flat rate – but we make transparent what drives the price, and deliver every quote in under an hour.

Standard shipment

Fixed route, predictable

Regular GDP transports on existing routes. Best cost structure for recurring shipments.

Express / Same-Day

Dedicated driver

Direct routing, no consolidation. For emergency pharma and time-critical study logistics.

Framework agreement

Volume terms

Tailored terms for pharma manufacturers and wholesalers with predictable monthly volumes.

What influences the price

Temperature range
Cryogenic (-196 °C) and dry ice (-80 °C) are more demanding than standard cool (+2/+8 °C).
Packaging
Qualified va-Q-tec or Intelsius thermo boxes cost more than standard insulated boxes.
Distance and route
Main routes (DACH, BeNeLux) are cheaper than special runs or island destinations.
Express vs. standard
Same-day and direct routing cost more than predictable tour consolidation.
Volume
Pallet/full shipment cheaper per kg than small-volume single boxes.
Documentation scope
GDP standard is included. Audit-trail depth, IMP accompanying documents and customs increase the effort.

No minimum volume. No framework agreement required. A single shipment is enough to get started.

Which packaging solutions do you offer?
We work with va-Q-tec and Intelsius thermoboxes, dry ice shipments and tailored packaging solutions. The choice depends on product and temperature requirement.
Do I need a framework agreement?
No. You can start with a single shipment. No minimum volume, no long-term contract required.
Are your drivers GDP-trained?
Yes. All drivers complete GDP training and understand the requirements of temperature-controlled pharmaceutical transports.
