Overview
Pfizer is a multinational pharmaceutical company, with the challenge of reducing potential product losses and increasing efficiency during transportation in the thermal chain.
ZØR accepted the challenge, designing a reusable solution and a complete traceability plan, monitoring information such as the opening of the bags, their temperature and location.
Founded in 1849, headquartered in the USA, Pfizer has been around since the beginning to improve the health and well-being of people at all stages of life. For more than 170 years, it has worked to be an active voice for a better future.

The Challenge
A solution designed to reduce waste, minimize failures and record them throughout the entire thermal chain, Pfizer’s challenge was to create a complete information and communication network throughout each phase of the thermal chain.

The Solution
In compliance with ZOR standards and our drivers to increase efficiency and reduce waste, the bag is designed to be reusable and used with PCM, ensuring optimal thermal conditions during product transportation.
It was also designed to be compatible with our real time monitoring system, communicating its location, temperature and use (opening of the bags).

“Constant data analysis and well designed communication systems pave the way to a less wasteful future.”

- CEO of ZØR
The Results
The 300 bags that comprise the Pfizer project removed from circulation about 6,000 styrofoam boxes per year, a considerable reduction in the ecological footprint. The use of PCM’s allows a single configuration for the whole year (instead of different configurations for summer and winter), and real-time monitoring communicates critical data continuously, both working to reduce risk and thus product losses.
