Every year, one in five temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals are damaged in transit, largely due to delayed or incomplete monitoring. Traditional systems rely on disposable data loggers that provide insights only after delivery, often too late to prevent loss. Fragmented data and manual processes further create blind spots that threaten product integrity and patient safety.

SkyCell Pharma Monitoring aims to address this challenge by providing an uninterrupted, real-time timeline of temperature and location data across the entire supply chain. Using advanced predictive analytics and a hybrid logger solution that acts as both a logger and a gateway, it eliminates blind spots and enables proactive interventions.

To further enhance visibility, SkyCell has collaborated with Microsoft to integrate its AI-powered assistant, K.AI, directly into Microsoft Teams and Copilot. This allows pharma companies to access real-time shipment data, receive alerts, and collaborate across teams, all within the Microsoft ecosystem.

Richard Ettl, CEO and co-founder of SkyCell, said, “Our Pharma Monitoring solution ensures that stakeholders no longer need to sift through spreadsheets, emails, or multiple platforms to stay informed and make decisions to save shipments in transit. By combining advanced analytics with seamless integration, SkyCell Pharma Monitoring, which monitors over five million shipments annually,  empowers pharma companies to identify risks early, take corrective action, and ensure that life-changing medicines reach patients safely and efficiently.”
