<h2>Predictive Cold Chain Analytics for Pharma Supply</h2>How AI is safeguarding medicine quality and reducing risks in pharma logisticsIn pharmaceutical supply chains,&nbsp;temperature control isn’t optional; it’s life-critical. From vaccines and biologics to specialty drugs, a deviation of just a few degrees can compromise safety, efficacy, and patient trust. Yet, traditional cold chain monitoring often responds&nbsp;only after a problem has occurred. By then, it’s already too late.This is where&nbsp;Predictive Cold Chain Analytics (PCCA) powered by AI comes in.<h2>The Challenge: Billions Lost, Lives Affected</h2><ul><li>The&nbsp;WHO estimates that up to 50% of vaccines are wasted annually, largely due&nbsp;to failures in temperature control and logistics.</li><li>In India,&nbsp;wastage at service delivery points reaches 56.8% for BCG and over 40% for several other vaccines (UNICEF).</li><li>A study across primary care practices showed only&nbsp;32% of medical refrigerators maintained correct ranges; nearly half recorded dangerous high or low temperatures.</li><li>Globally,&nbsp;2.7 billion people lack dependable vaccine access due to weak cold chain systems (SEforALL). &nbsp;</li></ul>Clearly, the current approach is unsustainable.<h2>Why Predictive Analytics Matters</h2>Instead of relying only on sensors that alert when a shipment is already out of range, predictive systems use AI models to&nbsp;forecast risks before they happen. They analyze:<ul><li>Real-time sensor data (temperature, humidity, vibration, light exposure)</li><li>External conditions (weather, customs delays, transport disruptions)</li><li>Historical patterns (routes, carriers, seasonal risks)</li></ul>The result? Logistics teams can proactively intervene, rerouting a shipment, adding cooling packs, or adjusting handling long before the medicine is at risk.<h2>The Technology Behind Predictive Cold Chain Analytics</h2>PCCA is powered by an integrated tech stack:<ol><li>IoT &amp; Smart Sensors <ul><li>Temperature, humidity, vibration, and GPS sensors track shipments in real-time.</li><li>Data is collected continuously at the edge, reducing dependency on delayed manual logs. &nbsp;</li></ul></li><li>Edge &amp; Cloud Computing <ul><li>Edge devices filter and preprocess sensor data (removing noise, flagging anomalies).</li><li>Cloud platforms aggregate this data across regions for advanced analytics and visualization. &nbsp;</li></ul></li><li>AI &amp; Machine Learning Models <ul><li>Time-series forecasting (ARIMA, Prophet, LSTM networks) predicts future temperature drifts.</li><li>Anomaly detection algorithms spot unusual patterns, e.g., a container warming faster than expected.</li><li>Predictive risk scoring integrates external data like weather APIs, traffic patterns, and customs clearance trends to calculate the probability of a breach. &nbsp;</li></ul></li><li>Digital Twin Simulations <ul><li>Virtual replicas of shipments or storage facilities simulate “what-if” scenarios, e.g., how a 4-hour flight delay affects drug stability.</li><li>These simulations guide proactive interventions before real-world risks occur. &nbsp;</li></ul></li><li>Dashboards &amp; Alerts <ul><li>Centralized platforms provide logistics managers with predictive insights.</li><li>Automated alerts recommend interventions: rerouting, dry ice replenishment, or emergency transfer.</li></ul></li></ol><h2>Real Impact on Pharma Supply</h2><ul><li>Reduced spoilage &amp; waste: Cutting into the billions of dollars lost every year.</li><li>Regulatory compliance: Predictive logs simplify audits for FDA, EMA, and GDP standards.</li><li>Cost efficiency: Fewer ruined batches mean major savings.</li><li>Patient safety &amp; trust: Medicines reach patients safely, effectively, and reliably.</li></ul><h2>Case in Action</h2>Imagine a biologics shipment traveling from Europe to Asia. The AI platform predicts a&nbsp;6-hour customs delay under high temperatures. Before exposure happens, the system flags the risk and recommends dry ice replenishment at the nearest hub. The pharma company prevents a&nbsp;multi-million-dollar loss and ensures patients receive effective medicine.How VMO Can HelpAt&nbsp;VMO - an ALTEN Company, we bring deep expertise in&nbsp;AI for healthcare and pharma supply chains:<ul><li>Predictive AI models tailored for cold chain logistics</li><li>IoT + edge computing + cloud analytics integration</li><li>End-to-end compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, GDP)</li><li>Dashboards with real-time predictive insights</li></ul>Our experience in&nbsp;AI-powered healthcare solutions, from radiology to patient monitoring extends naturally into&nbsp;supply chain resilience. With predictive cold chain analytics, VMO helps pharma companies not just monitor, but&nbsp;outsmart risks before they happen. &nbsp;

The ultimate goal of becoming the best SME bank fueled the optimization of processes, leading to remarkable improvements in turnaround times.The SME Transformed project, initiated well before the pandemic's onset, involved the integration of changes in processes, spearheading technology innovations, and ensuring alignment among all stakeholders. Consequently, RCBC made the strategic decision to leverage Sales Cloud, empowering the bank to automate lending processes end-to-end. In parallel, a modern space planning method, anchored on a plug-and-play concept, equipped all relationship managers with laptops and VPN access. This enhanced setup facilitated efficient tracking of sales productivity and balanced work distribution, thanks to intuitive dashboards provided to team leaders.<blockquote>"We realized that we needed to change internally; that was the only way for us to ultimately offer a digital experience to our clients. By proactively undertaking this transformation project, we became one step ahead in responding to the pandemic. Our relationship managers were equipped to work from home, and team leaders had increased visibility into their activities."Kristina Davila, Head of Business Development Division of SMEBG.</blockquote>With the successful completion of the first phase of transformation, SMEBG experienced an estimated 50 percent simplification of its manual end-to-end processes. Moreover, the integration between Sales Cloud and third-party bureaus resulted in an auto-credit investigation (CI) capability, slashing the CI turnaround time from one day to a remarkable four hours. As a result, the total turnaround time was significantly reduced, enabling faster and more efficient customer service.<figure class="image"><img src="https://vmo-website-prod.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/vmogroup-global/uploads/1690369621061-3.png"></figure><h4>Data-Driven Customer Engagement:&nbsp;</h4>Personalization as the Key: RCBC recognized the significance of personalized marketing strategies in navigating the challenges posed by the pandemic. Unlike past practices of casting a wide net, the bank prioritized customization to cater to individual customer needs. Salesforce's Marketing Cloud emerged as the solution to harness customer transaction history and demographics, enabling the establishment of behavioral patterns and insights. These valuable insights served as the foundation for creating personalized campaigns and customer journeys, making each interaction more relevant and meaningful.<blockquote>"Salesforce helps us understand our customers and communicate with them more personally, which gives us a clear advantage. This is especially important in The Philippines, where there is so much competition in banking."The Head of the Digital Consumer Engagement Department, Alexis Villafuerte.</blockquote><figure class="image"><img src="https://vmo-website-prod.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/vmogroup-global/uploads/1690369608911-4.png"></figure>To fully realize their goals, RCBC recognized the need to bid farewell to manual processes and embrace technology-driven marketing. The Data Science Group played a pivotal role in this decision, with multiple team members well-versed in Salesforce's Marketing Cloud, understanding its vast potential. With internal training and collaboration with the marketing team, the Data Science Group optimized customer journeys, empowered by Salesforce's Trailhead, to enhance their digital marketing capabilities significantly.Arnel de Guzman, VP of Campaigns and Analytics in the Data Science Group, expressed the transformative power of Salesforce: "For us to go digital, we had to change our ways and apply new tools. The great thing about Salesforce is that it allows us to do so much on one platform."<h4>Intelligent Automation for Enhanced Customer Engagement:&nbsp;</h4>Within a remarkably short period, RCBC made impressive strides in customer engagement by capitalizing on Salesforce's Marketing Cloud. The bank's ability to harness customer data allowed for the creation of customized and targeted journeys that engaged customers at every touchpoint. Moreover, real-time visibility into customer interactions empowered the bank to prioritize and focus on potential leads while optimizing marketing spend.<blockquote>"Now, we have visibility when customers have opened our email or have connected with us inside a branch. This allows us to prioritize and work on other leads we have yet to reach or make follow-through offers to those who have yet to respond. This helps us make the most of our time and optimize our marketing spend."Geleen Gutierrez, Head of the Smart Customer Acquisition Department at RCBC.</blockquote><figure class="image"><img src="https://vmo-website-prod.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/vmogroup-global/uploads/1690369632470-6.png"></figure>RCBC's retail banking also witnessed tremendous growth, driven by a strategic focus on converting new-to-bank customers and enhancing the financial needs of existing clients through upsell and cross-sell campaigns. In 2020 alone, campaigns for term deposits contributed to ₱4.5 billion in incremental deposits, while recent campaigns for checking accounts led to an additional ₱4.4 billion in deposits.Furthermore, the bank achieved remarkable efficiency in marketing operations, with a substantial 94% decrease in the total cost per conversion. Meanwhile, the total volume of card transactions surged by an impressive 89%.<h4>Targeted Digital Engagement:&nbsp;</h4>Precision in Advertising: With Salesforce's Marketing Cloud, RCBC significantly refined its digital advertising approach. Collaborating with the Data Science Group, RCBC successfully identified potential customers yet to enroll in online banking. Leveraging Advertising Studio, the bank directly targeted this segment via social media, effectively engaging them with relevant offerings and promotions.RCBC also embraced data-driven advertising, tailoring ad creatives to customers' interests and factors such as new-to-bank or existing clients. The bank's ability to track ad performance provided valuable insights into customer behavior and the impact of marketing efforts. Monitoring key metrics like click-through rates (CTR) and cost-per-click (CPC) offered early indications of campaign success, contributing to savings of ₱773,000 from 2020 campaigns alone.<figure class="image"><img src="https://vmo-website-prod.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/vmogroup-global/uploads/1690369638134-7.png"></figure><h3 style="margin-left:0px;">Conclusion:&nbsp;</h3>Salesforce has undoubtedly played a pivotal role in RCBC's digital transformation journey, empowering the bank to deliver exceptional customer experiences and achieve unprecedented operational efficiencies.
