NEW PARTNERSHIP

SkyCell and Validaide Partner to Revolutionize Pharmaceutical Supply Chains

We are excited to announce our partnership with Validaide, a leading platform in lane risk assessment, to improve decision-making and enhance lane risk assessments for pharmaceutical companies. This collaboration marks a significant step towards transforming the pharmaceutical supply chain, leveraging AI and data analytics to drive efficiency and sustainability.

The pharmaceutical industry loses approximately $35 billion annually due to failures in temperature-controlled logistics. The partnership aims to address these challenges by allowing companies to make data-driven routing decisions, streamline lane risk assessments, and accelerate lane approvals for critical shipments, ultimately helping pharmaceutical companies make better supply chain decisions.

Integrating SkyMind with Validaide for Superior Decision-Making

The partnership will see SkyMind — SkyCell‘s supply chain software platform — integrate with Validaide’s lane risk assessment and ground handling data, allowing pharma companies to make better decisions based on risk, cost, and carbon emissions. SkyMind’s CO2e software DECARBONIZE is based on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) latest research and methodology. The DECARBONIZE software allows the comparison of one-way versus reusable packaging options, allowing companies to minimize their environmental impact while making informed decisions. With this collaboration, Validaide’s platform will be enhanced to make lane risk assessments and CO₂e comparisons with different packaging at the same time.

Enhancing Operational Control and Efficiency

In our commitment to innovation, we launched SkyMind earlier this year. This AI-powered learning system enhances operational control and saves costs by streamlining processes, maximizing efficiency, minimizing unnecessary expenses, and reducing CO2 emissions. Validaide’s network includes over 1,300 companies, contributing data to its global platform for healthcare and pharma shipments. This extensive quantitative operational data, encompassing logistics suppliers’ handling capabilities, complements SkyMind’s qualitative operational data — enhancing decision-making for pharmaceutical companies during shipments.

Richard Ettl, co-founder and CEO of SkyCell

“SkyCell’s vision for pharma has always been zero loss and zero CO₂ emissions for the pharma supply chain. Technology is crucial for decision-makers to reduce costs, risks, and CO₂ emissions in pharma supply chains."

“Collaboration among stakeholders and technology providers is equally important. Our partnership with Validaide is a significant step forward, empowering pharmaceutical companies to take greater control of their supply chains.”
