CSafe hooks up with Cloudleaf

SOMETHING IN THE AIR

AIR CARGO • CSAFE GLOBAL IS ADDING TO ITS TRACK-ANDTRACE SERVICE WITH GREATER VISIBILITY THANKS TO A CUSTOM-DESIGNED PLATFORM DEVELOPED BY CLOUDLEAF

CSAFE GLOBAL, AN innovation leader in temperature-controlled container solutions for the transport of pharmaceuticals, has partnered with Cloudleaf to design a custom digital visibility platform to support both its Air Cargo track and trace technology as well as digital tracking for Parcel and Cell & Gene packaging solutions.

CSafe has been developing and implementing track and trace technology into its Air Cargo fl eet of RKN and RAP containers for nearly two years. As part of the initiative, the company wanted to select a software partner with a robust digital visibility platform that could be customised to its needs. A key element in the search was the ability to integrate multiple tracking devices into the system to offer full visibility to Parcel and Cell & Gene customers as well.

“Our team worked for many months evaluating the right partner for our new track and trace product offering,” says Tom Weir, chief operating offi cer of CSafe Global. “In Cloudleaf we found a strategic partner who shares common values, has a world-class management team, a modern software architecture, a visionary product road map, and laser-like focus on the customer. The synergies between CSafe and Cloudleaf are powerful and compelling.

“Together we will provide real-time visibility for life-saving products shipped everyday around the world in CSafe Air Cargo, Parcel and Cell & Gene products,” Weir adds. “This innovative solution will unleash tremendous value for our customers and most importantly ensure that patients receive the medications they need 100 per cent of the time.”
