Cold Chain Technologies’ Digital Applications Drive Compliance, Efficiency and Cost Savings for Specialty Pharmacies
Cold Chain Technologies (CCT), a global leader in temperature-controlled packaging, is transforming how specialty pharmacies manage cold chain logistics with its innovative digital applications - CCT Route Pro and CCT Lane Risk.
Designed to reduce risk, increase consistency and streamline operations, CCT Route Pro helps pharmacies nationwide ship confidently, no matter the season or destination.
Specialty pharmacies traditionally rely on static seasonal calendars or manual weather checks to decide how to pack temperature-sensitive medications. With varying climates across the U.S., these outdated approaches increase the risk of excursions, complicating compliance and placing added pressure on pharmacy teams.
CCT Route Pro eliminates guesswork by using predictive weather data, shipping lane analysis and destination ZIP codes to recommend the right pack-out. Integrated with CCT’s line of ISTA 7E-compliant packaging solutions including Rx, Rx Extended, Rx Naturals, and Rx Mini, the tool helps to ensure every shipment follows a validated, auditable process.
For added assurance, CCT Route Pro works alongside Lane Risk, CCT’s proactive digital tool that alerts pharmacies to upcoming severe weather events, enabling teams to plan ahead and avoid costly delays or excursions.
Specialty pharmacies using Route Pro have reported improvements in compliance, reduced product waste and increased operational efficiency. For example, TwelveStone Medical, a nationally licensed, URAC and ACHC accredited specialty pharmacy, transitioned to CCT and used Route Pro to simplify its pack-out process, reduce risk and consolidate vendors. The switch also led to measurable cost savings through reduced material waste, labor hours and vendor management overhead.
“The transition to Cold Chain Technologies’ packaging solutions and CCT Route Pro was extremely smooth,” said Michael Broome of TwelveStone Medical. “We had no issues with our transition, and it was a very positive experience overall.”
CCT Route Pro and Lane Risk are part of Cold Chain Technologies’ growing Smart Solutions digital platform, offering scalable, science-backed tools that enable life sciences, pharmaceutical, and clinical trial shipments to maintain compliance, safeguard medication integrity, and optimize operational costs.
Cold Chain Technologies will be showcasing these CCT Smart Solutions applications at the National Association of Specialty Pharmacy (NASP) 2025 Annual Meeting on September 14 - 17. Attendees are invited to visit Booth #510 to meet with the CCT Specialty Pharmacy Advisors and learn how these innovative digital solutions help pharmacies strengthen compliance, protect product integrity, and achieve measurable cost savings.
