Biocair, a life sciences logistics company, has partnered with TrakCel to integrate their systems with OCELLOS to improve customer service, automation and visibility in the cell and gene therapy supply chain.

OCELLOS by TrakCel is an integrated cell orchestration solution designed to manage and streamline the cell, gene, and immunotherapy supply chain. The platform provides tracking of both chain of identity and chain of custody to support the scalability of cell and gene therapy development.

Most recently, Biocair has continued its investment in cell and gene therapy logistics by introducing a global team of dedicated specialists to deliver 24-hour global support, as well as collaborating with manufacturers on the design, production, supply, and validation of temperature-controlled packaging systems.

Cell and gene therapies are time-sensitive and life-changing medicines that require innovative and flexible logistics solutions to ensure a safe, temperature-controlled, and efficient delivery.

Integration with TrakCel’s orchestration platform aims to ensure a chain of custody whereby all stakeholders have complete visibility of orders in transit.

Chris Came, vice president of Global Alliances & Client Services at TrakCel, said, “We are so pleased to have such an experienced life sciences logistics specialist on board. By using OCELLOS, Biocair will become completely integrated in the cell and gene therapy supply chain and able to offer patients the best possible service.”

The system integration is a two-way relationship. OCELLOS will ‘speak’ to Biocair to ask for updates and distribute them accordingly to those who need them, at the same time, Biocair will also receive orders directly from the system.

Chris Good, director of cell & gene therapy logistics at Biocair, said, “Biocair has always been customer focused, but this is even more important in the cell and gene sector. We want to give our customers full visibility and integration within the complex cell and gene therapy supply chain, which is why partnering with TrakCel is essential to providing health care professionals and patients peace of mind that their life-changing medicines will reach them in a timely and safe manner.”
