How Graamm Medifleet is transforming the pharmacy supply chain with eco-friendly delivery solutions

The pharmacy supply chain is a complex and critical process that involves the movement of pharmaceutical products from manufacturers to distributors to retailers to consumers. The efficiency and reliability of this process can have a significant impact on the availability, affordability and quality of medicines, especially in semi-urban and rural areas where access to healthcare is often limited.

However, the conventional pharmacy supply chain also faces many challenges and inefficiencies, such as:

• High operational costs due to multiple intermediaries, inventory management and transportation.
• Low visibility and traceability of the products along the supply chain, leading to issues such as stock-outs, expiry, theft and counterfeiting.
• High carbon footprint due to the use of fossil-fuel based vehicles and packaging materials, contributing to environmental pollution and climate change.

To address these challenges and create a more sustainable and efficient pharmacy supply chain, Graamm Medifleet has developed a groundbreaking solution that leverages innovative technology and data-driven algorithms. Graamm Medifleet is a startup that provides green delivery services using electric vehicles (EVs) for the middle-mile segment of the pharmacy supply chain. The middle-mile segment refers to the distribution of pharmaceutical products from distributors or warehouses to retailers or pharmacies.

Graamm Medifleet’s solution offers several benefits and advantages for the pharmacy sector, such as:

• Reduced operational costs by eliminating intermediaries, optimizing routes and minimizing inventory.
• Increased visibility and traceability of the products by using real-time tracking, digital documentation and smart sensors.
• Reduced carbon footprint by using solar-powered charging stations, lithium-ion batteries, biodegradable packaging and carbon credits.

Graamm Medifleet is India’s first women-led carbon-negative EV logistics supply chain, which means that it emits less than zero carbon dioxide and carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gases, effectively removing them from the atmosphere. This is achieved by using renewable energy sources, efficient energy management systems and carbon offsetting mechanisms.

Graamm Medifleet’s vision is to transform the pharmacy supply chain with eco-friendly delivery solutions that enhance accessibility to vital medicines and contribute to climate sustainability. Graamm Medifleet’s mission is to empower the pharmacy sector with innovative technology and data-driven insights that enable better decision making and improved performance.
