New opportunities on the horizon as TSS expands US operations

We are expanding our US operations, with Evan Hahn to be the new VP North America. Evan brings a wealth of knowledge of the pharmaceutical clinical trial space, supporting the TSS launch of its new offering in this category.

TSS recently appointed of Evan Hahn as VP of North America to lead expansion in the strategic US life sciences market.

TSS expands US operations

Evan brings extensive expertise and over 20 years of experience applying innovative approaches to life sciences through a combination of technology and sophisticated applications of data, driving insights and efficiency in clinical development.

Before joining TSS, Evan led the growth of Medidata’s Randomization and Trial Supply software solution (RTSM) from product startup to an industry leader. At Cytel, he promoted the adoption of adaptive trial designs and drug supply forecasting. Across both organizations, he met with 100s of supply chain leaders globally, gaining broad insights into the challenges they face, receiving feedback from large pharma, startup biotechs, CROs, and regulatory agencies such as the FDA and NCI on biopharma supply challenges.

Evan explains the reason for his move to TSS: “Temperature monitoring plays a vital role in the drugs delivery cycle – and TSS is at the cutting edge of ensuring the delivery of safe and sustainable therapies to patients. I’m passionately committed to bringing innovative approaches to developing and delivering treatments and see tremendous opportunities to harness supply chain data into actionable insights – opportunities that are currently under-realized within biopharma.”

TSS’s technology-agnostic cloud platform is a ‘best in class’ solution that enables companies to transform their supply chain, by allowing for the ingestion and aggregation of data from disparate sources across that chain, providing end-to-end visibility and enabling direct to patient clinical trials while ensuring patient safety. Through advanced analytics and visualization of data we let users proactively address issues before they occur. With our Clinical Module, TSS is uniquely positioned to automate manual temperature excursion handling processes, and as such reduce burden for clinical sites and sponsor companies, while contributing to corporate sustainability goals.

Data-driven supply chains: improving your excursion rate and temperature performance in 5 steps

Data is an essential requirement for improving supply chain processes. But that doesn’t mean that simply collecting more of it will instantly lead to reductions in waste, increases in efficiency and lower excursion rates. Taking a more targeted approach will help you turn supply chain data into insights that can help you understand exactly what is happening at every stage of your pharmaceutical supply chain.

Visibility and automation: reducing disruption due to temperature excursions

The Covid-19 pandemic has placed a global spotlight on pharmaceuticals and the importance of temperature control. The large-scale vaccination programs being rolled out across the world depend on operators and distributors being able to monitor and manage temperatures effectively. It has also shown just how challenging this can be.

On time and in full, when it matters most

When TSS received the request to support Sandoz, the Novartis generics and biosimilar division, from its client Novartis, a multinational pharmaceutical company based in Switzerland, citing their need for urgent support with surveillance of critical shipments related to a COVID-19, the obvious solution was TSS Real-Time Monitoring solution.

Exploring the solution to a global question

When it comes to global transportation and shipping of drugs, simply knowing where they are is no longer enough. Pharmaceutical organisations are becoming increasingly aware of the safety regulations which go into storage and transportation, i.e. ensuring that every drug which reaches the patient end, is effective and safe for consumption.

Innovation flourishes when different perspectives meet

Moving to Stockholm’s new innovation and life science cluster in Hagastaden was a conscious choice for us at TSS.

The Buyer’s guide to real-time temperature monitoring

In recent years, real-time temperature monitoring has become something of a buzzword in the industry for pharmaceutical logistics. Despite the fact that it is on everybody’s lips right now, it is definitely more than a one-day wonder.

Getting the full value out of your supply chain temperature data

An important lesson of the first two decades of the millennium is that driving business value is often not about simply collecting as much data as you can. Instead, it is about creating systems that turn the data you have into useful insights and distribute them effectively to the people who need them.

4 things to know about TSS new BLE data loggers

USB data loggers have been an important part of the life science temperature monitoring process for years. They have dramatically improved the safety of the drug distribution process by allowing the accurate measurement of temperature data at set points along the supply journey.

5 benefits of adopting digital temperature monitoring solutions

Digital temperature monitoring along every step of the pharmaceutical supply chain is quickly becoming the new norm. Government guidelines like the EU’s Good Distribution Practices (GDP) and the guidelines of UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have seen to increased uptake of digital temperature monitoring across the Europe’s pharmaceutical industry.

Reducing excursion evaluation time from days to seconds

The question of how to speed up clinical trials is complicated, especially considering that many trial stages simply cannot be rushed in the interest of trial subjects and the general public. However, process improvements can go a long way.

Making the pharma industry future-proof through supply chain digitalization

Supply chain digitalization, or rather digital transformation, provides a path to sustainable solutions for many of the challenges in managing the pharmaceutical industry’s supply chain such as compliance, traceability, end-to-end visibility, error-reduction, quality assurance and process efficiencies.

Could automating temperature excursion management hold the key to improving clinical supply processes?

There are a few key reasons why many sponsors are starting to ask whether current clinical supply processes are efficient enough.

Automation is making temperature excursion management simpler and more efficient for clinical sites

Are healthcare professionals working at clinical sites across the world satisfied? It might seem like a strange question to ask, but the way we feel can impact our professional performance in important ways. Perhaps the question is not how satisfied Clinical Operations professionals are, but whether they feel their performance is impacted by lots of time-consuming manual processes that could benefit from automation? Are these processes hampering clinical trial performance?

Mind the gap: the real-world impact of data gaps in clinical trials

Although clinical trials can cover a huge range of formats, from small academic assessments to global, multi-billion dollar ventures, they all have one thing in common. Their success (or failure) is determined by a consistent approach to data.

The effects of the Covid-19 outbreak are escalating daily and is first and foremost a human tragedy, affecting hundreds of thousands of people.

Turn days into seconds at clinical sites worldwide

The effective monitoring of temperature throughout the supply chain is of paramount importance in ensuring the safe and protocol-compliant conduct of a clinical trial. Each deviation causes the progress of the product along the supply chain to grind to a halt as checks are conducted to make sure it is still suitable to be dispensed.

Which way is the wind blowing? The implications of cloud-based IoT on temperature monitoring in the life science supply chain

The life science industry is always looking for ways to improve reliability and efficiency across the supply chain. New technologies for tracking and temperature logging hold great potential, but which to choose?
