Recently, the Sichuan Provincial and Chongqing Municipal Food and Drug Administration issued an announcement on the "Inspection Rules for Drug Wholesale Enterprises". It is clear that the original drug wholesale enterprises within the jurisdiction should have facilities, equipment and specialized computer information management systems for modern logistics operations, covering the management and quality control of the entire operation process of drug purchase, sale, storage, after-sales and otheaspects.

1. Equipped with warehousing and logistics equipment and facilities

2. Introduce smart warehousing and logistics management system

3. Realize full life cycle digital management

It should be noted that starting from January 1, 2029, the original pharmaceutical wholesale enterprises that do not meet the requirements of the inspection rules shall not continue to engage in pharmaceutical wholesale business activities. 

Over the years, the development of my country's pharmaceutical logistics has been at an advanced level. However, driven by policies, regulations and technological innovation, the construction and upgrading of warehousing and logistics systems play a vital role in the strategic development of pharmaceutical companies. In the future, newly established pharmaceutical wholesale companies, companies engaged in pharmaceutical third-party logistics, and certificate renewal companies will need to continuously improve the efficiency of their warehousing and logistics systems and strengthen their information technology capabilities such as batch number management and traceability tracking to meet the standards of "modern pharmaceutical logistics."

Pain points in warehousing management of pharmaceutical distribution companies:

Strict legal and regulatory supervision

The GSP standard has clear requirements for the warehouses, facilities and management systems of pharmaceutical distribution companies. Companies that do not meet the standards will be banned from entering the pharmaceutical industry.

Batch number management challenges

There are many types of drugs with diverse batch numbers. Enterprises need to accurately grasp and scientifically divide storage areas and follow the first-in-first-out management principle to avoid drug expiration.

Sluggish turnover efficiency

Market orders are fragmented, the demand for splitting and picking has increased, and manual picking is error-prone and inefficient. At the same time, GSP operating specifications must be followed from the entry to exit of medicines.

Information management shortcomings

In addition to purchase, sale, storage and inventory management, drug storage also involves temperature and humidity control, etc. A stable warehousing management system is required to ensure the quality and safety of the entire life cycle of drugs.
