GENERAL

Particularly when dealing with temperature-sensitive products, it is essential that you can trust the experience and knowledge of professionals. No matter what services you require for the safe and fast shipment of your temperature-sensitive goods: with trans-o-flex, you always have the right partner at your side to ensure your goods reach their destination in accordance with the official requirements. We can assist you as follows.

  • Personal, professional and individual advice and support
  • Development and implementation of a tailor-made concept
  • Experience and reliability in maintaining the correct temperature range

With our actively temperature-controlled network, we facilitate the temperature-controlled distribution of pharmaceuticals in the range 2°C to 8°C and/or 15°C to 25°C not only in Germany but also in Austria and, via our partner networks, in four other European countries: the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France.

Active temperature control
TOF_Icons_Aktive-Temperaturfuehrung
Active temperature control
The constant temperature during an active shipment is independent of the external temperature and – in contrast to passive shipping – is also independent of additional aids, inexpensive, sustainable and environmentally friendly as there is no need for special packaging.
Complete data acquisition

Complete data acquisition
trans-o-flex guarantees a temperature of 2°C to 8°C or 15°C to 25°C throughout the entire transport chain and during intermediate storage and handling. The temperature profile is constantly recorded electronically and documented and saved in a tamper-proof manner (100% GDP compliant).
Use of standard packaging
TOF_icons_Standard-Verpackung
Use of standard packaging
Your goods can be shipped in standard packaging – so insulated containers and freezer packs are unnecessary. This also eliminates returns logistics and reduces the total cost of ownership.
Independence from the shipping date
TOF_icons_Unabhaengigkeit-vom-Versandtag
Independence from the shipping date
With actively temperature-controlled shipping, you are not tied to specific shipping dates, since even if your goods are collected on a Friday, they will be delivered the next business day at exactly the right temperature and will also be monitored continuously at weekends.
