Life sciences supply chains
Optimizing your supply chain end to end with full visibility, so you meet strict quality standards and deliver better patient care
The life sciences industry is transforming quickly. Rising cost pressure, stricter regulations, and tougher competition are affecting supply chains across the industry. Common challenges include:
- Disruptions in production and logistics, and inefficient control processes
- Limited supplier collaboration and reliance on subcontractors
- Siloed planning and poor system integration

- A more agile organization with clear roles and strong capabilities through effective change management
How we support your life sciences organization
Supply chain orchestration
The healthcare industry needs a concurrent and collaborative approach that integrates all aspects of supply chains: systems, processes, and organization. 4flow helps you improve transparency and stronger collaboration.
Supply chain strategy
With the right supply chain strategy and operating model, life science organizations can build resilient and sustainable supply chains and secure key competitive advantages.
Digital supply chain
Digital supply chain in life sciences is often limited to track and trace. 4flow provides end-to-end digital solutions. Expert implementation of SAP S/4HANA or an advanced planning system (APS) is key to boosting digital and automation maturity.
Specialized support for your segment
Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology
Decentralized supply chain organizations are common for pharma, biopharma and biotechnology companies. A shift to central orchestration, speed, and visibility is key to maintain or gain competitive advantages.
Medical technology
The ability to consistently and cost efficiently deliver the right service level is essential to retain customers, who expect reliable availability of technologies and consumables.
Healthcare providers
Healthcare providers are transitioning from specialized facilities to full-service organizations. To deliver the best treatments to patients, they need agile and resilient operations and supply chains.
