One in five temperature-sensitive medicines are damaged during transit due to temperature excursions, causing not just financial losses but also delays in critical treatments reaching patients. Despite the stakes, many pharmaceutical companies still struggle with fragmented data, slow manual processes, and outdated monitoring solutions that create dangerous blind spots in the supply chain.
The challenge isn’t a lack of technology—it’s accessibility. Real-time data is crucial for ensuring product integrity, optimizing inventory, and preventing waste. Yet, many companies hesitate to adopt real-time tracking because of cost and complexity. Cellular and Bluetooth loggers come at a premium, while short battery life and integration challenges often force trade-offs between accuracy and longevity.
As a result, pharma supply chains are still dominated by disposable USB loggers that provide data only after shipments have arrived—when it’s too late to intervene. Often, multiple loggers are used throughout a single shipment, leading to even more waste and inefficiencies.
Introducing SkyCell Pharma Monitoring: Real-Time Data, Everywhere
SkyCell Pharma Monitoring removes these barriers, making real-time data more accessible and cost-effective than ever before. With an innovative hybrid logger solution, AI-powered predictive analytics, and seamless software integration, it delivers an uninterrupted, real-time timeline of temperature and location data across the entire supply chain. The hybrid logger solution acts as a both a logger and a gateway, ensuring visibility at every point.
Now, real-time tracking is available at the cost of a USB logger—without compromising accuracy, battery life, or ease of use.
SkyCell Pharma Monitoring goes beyond tracking—it actively prevents cold chain failures. By combining real-time shipment monitoring with AI-driven risk analysis, SkyCell enables companies to anticipate potential excursions and take corrective action before a product is compromised. This proactive approach reduces waste, improves reliability, and accelerates product release.
Seamless Integration with Microsoft
For pharmaceutical companies, adding a new monitoring solution often means additional complexity. That’s why SkyCell Pharma Monitoring is designed to integrate directly into the platforms companies already use. Through a collaboration with Microsoft, K.AI, our intelligent agent, is now embedded within Microsoft Teams, allowing pharma companies to access real-time data, receive alerts, and collaborate with stakeholders across the supply chain.
Our Pharma Monitoring solution ensures that stakeholders no longer need to sift through spreadsheets, emails, or multiple platforms to stay informed and make decisions to save shipments in transit. By combining advanced analytics with seamless integration into Microsoft Teams, SkyCell Pharma Monitoring, empowers pharma companies to identify risks early, take corrective action, and ensure that life-changing medicines reach patients safely and efficiently.

A Smarter, More Sustainable Supply Chain
Beyond improving visibility and reducing risk, SkyCell Pharma Monitoring supports pharmaceutical companies in meeting their sustainability goals. Disposable loggers generate significant waste, while inefficient supply chains drive up emissions.
SkyCell’s reusable hybrid logger and global returns network eliminate unnecessary waste, cut costs, and contribute to a more sustainable, data-driven future for pharma logistics. Through integration with Validaide, pharma companies can also gain accurate insights into their emissions across their supply chain.
