Challenge	One of the world’s leading biotechnology companies, focusing on developing therapies for multiple sclerosis, hemophilia, and other autoimmune disorders, needed true end-to-end supply chain visibility. This pharmaceutical company ships their therapies around the world, often through high-risk areas to reach their patients. With individual shipments worth 20-30 million dollars, supply chain performance and visibility are of utmost importance. Despite this, they did not know the current routes taken between origin and destination sites and, consequently, they were unaware of specific areas of risk or loss. As a result, this company needed better insight into the actual performance of their supply chain to optimize route performance and identify areas of risk for securing their goods from theft.
