Often, as citizens, we wonder how the medicines and other health products we need get to the pharmacies. Behind this very immediate distribution is a series of logistical operations that help get the medicines from the warehouse to the point of sale.
At the heart of this are the specialist logistics companies that act as a bridge between pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies. These companies not only transport medicines but also ensure that each product arrives in optimal conditions to guarantee its safety and efficacy.
Pharmaceutical logistics values and protects the cold chain for temperature-sensitive medicines, safe transport and strict compliance with international regulations. Medicines must be transported from manufacturing facilities and laboratories to specialized warehouses and then distributed to pharmacies at times that ensure continuity of supply.
These facilities must meet the strictest requirements of health authorities such as the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products and operate as pharmaceutical warehouses under customs control or supervision, allowing them to handle pharmaceutical products with a high level of control and security.

Last mile pharmaceutical logistics
A key aspect of success in pharmaceutical distribution is what is known as the “last mile”. This term refers to the final stage of transport, during which medicines are delivered directly to pharmacies. Timeliness and accuracy are critical at this stage, as any disruption could affect the availability of essential products to patients.
