Let’s take a walk through the journey of a Controlant customer, exploring how our innovative solutions revolutionize pharmaceutical chain operations from day one of a pilot or of a full-scale transformation.

Day 1: Onboarding and immediate visibility

For many of our customers, signing on with Controlant marks the moment they step into a world where supply chain management is no longer a black box. Regardless of your preexisting level of digital maturity, the onboarding process is smooth and intuitive, guided by Controlant’s expert support team. From the get-go, you’re introduced to the Aurora Platform, our powerful cloud-based tool that provides real-time visibility into your supply chain.

Setting up for success

During the preparation time leading up to implementation, we'll have worked with your team to plan integrations and to train sites to operate and optimize the value of the new setup. This helps ensure that when it comes to integrating your existing systems and data sources into the Aurora Platform at go-live, there will be minimal disruption to your operations.

Within hours, you can already see the benefits. Our Saga devices are deployed across your pharma cold chain, capturing data on temperature, location, and other critical parameters immediately. The Aurora Platform offers a comprehensive dashboard that displays real-time data from the devices, allowing you to monitor every shipment, no matter where it is in the world. This isn’t just visibility—it’s actionable insight, from day one.

The first shipment: confidence in every mile

As your first shipment makes its way through the cold chain, the value of Controlant’s technology quickly becomes apparent. Previously, the process of ensuring compliance may have been hampered by delayed reports and manual checks. Now, the Aurora Platform shows you exactly where your shipment is, what the temperature is inside the container, and whether any deviations have occurred—all in real time.

Real-time alerts and proactive management

If any issue arises—like a temperature excursion—the system immediately notifies you and your team. No more waiting for a problem to surface days later; you can act instantly. Beyond just monitoring, the Aurora Platform uses predictive analytics to forecast potential issues, allowing you to reroute shipments or adjust conditions before a problem occurs. Some people call this a 'self-healing supply chain'.

Your confidence grows with each mile the shipment travels. The combination of real-time visibility and predictive insights means you’re no longer reacting to issues—you’re preventing them.

The value of automation

The Aurora Platform enables the automation of routine tasks, from compliance checks to reporting. This reduces the administrative burden on your team and ensures consistency in your operations. Meanwhile, our Saga devices handle continuous monitoring without the need for manual intervention. Data is automatically uploaded to the Aurora Platform, where it’s analyzed and stored securely.

With this automation in place, your team is free to focus on higher-value activities, like strategic planning and optimization, rather than being bogged down by repetitive tasks.

Expanding your capabilities and unlocking new features

As your partnership with Controlant deepens, the true power of our solutions starts to shine. You find value in new places and solve problems you didn't know you had. This isn’t just about making your supply chain visible; it’s about making it smarter and more efficient. As you explore and unlock additional features and modules within the Aurora Platform, we work with you to find new ways to bring value to your operations, creating a compounding effect that makes your supply chain stronger and more agile.

Enhanced analytics and reporting

You can tailor the Aurora Platform’s dashboards to focus on the metrics that matter most to your business. Whether it’s compliance rates, shipping efficiency, or cost savings, the data is at your fingertips.
