Case studiesPharmaceutical Cold-Chain[PLACEHOLDER]
A pharmaceutical cold-chain established cryptographic custody across three continents.
Manufacturer-to-pharmacy chain held across six handlers, two regulatory regimes, and one customs hold.
Outcome: Cryptographic continuity established end-to-end. Custody disputes acquired adjudication evidence.
[PLACEHOLDER CASE STUDY] [CUSTOMER NAME] is a [PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURER / DISTRIBUTOR] shipping [TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE BIOLOGICAL PRODUCT] from [ORIGIN] to [DESTINATION] across three continents. The chain involved six handlers, two regulatory regimes, and a customs hold of [X HOURS].
EdSSA Nano was deployed at each handler's authenticated handoff point. After a one-time bootstrap between adjacent handlers, custody handoff produced a cryptographic record without further communication to any central authority. The chain held across multi-day transit, transcontinental flight, and the customs hold.
On arrival, the receiving pharmacy verified the full custody chain in under one second, end-to-end. A subsequent dispute between two intermediate handlers was adjudicated using the cryptographic record — a process that previously would have rested on signed paper manifests.
The operator's DSCSA and FMD pathways now incorporate authenticated custody handoff as a standard step.
