The Future of Life Sciences and Healthcare Logistics.

The Life Sciences and Healthcare sector is going through significant transformation of its operating models and supply chains. Faced with significant pressures to deliver more affordable and quality healthcare, the industry will need to adopt new commercial and service models across all touch-points in the value chain to be cost-competitive. Further, consumer behavior has undergone rapid change with increasing demand for services through online channels and mobile applications.

Digitalization and related technology advancements are opening up new possibilities to enable different types of services and reduce costs. The sector has been slow in adopting latest technologies, ranking in bottom 20th percentile in the digitalization index. There is a sense of urgency to transform now; and supply chains play a crucial role in this transformation.
