Reliable delivery in North America: Logistics Service Provider with German-Speaking Contact on Site
The North American market remains an important strategic target for many medical device manufacturers in the EU and Switzerland. However, market access requires not only approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but also reliable logistics partners – after all, no one wants a product that gets stuck in the supply chain. More and more companies are discovering how difficult it is to ensure reliable logistics, especially when their own company is located on the other side of the Atlantic.
Fortunately, BEO BERLIN has now found a reliable logistics partner in the new world: FastCat Freight is a logistics provider that delivers all types of shipments reliably and quickly within the United States and Canada. Our experienced US-Agent Stephanie Bankston is now also a specialist at FastCat Freight, and BEO BERLIN can now offer its customers a German-speaking expert with direct access to the logistics industry.
International Logistics: More Complex than Expected
Delivery delays are among the most common and unpleasant incidents in the medical industry. Due to their sheer geographical size, severe weather phenomena and often remote locations, the US and Canada in particular pose major challenges for punctual deliveries. The consequences can be severe: missed deadlines, compliance issues or product deterioration in the case of time- or temperature-sensitive products are just a few examples.
It can be particularly difficult for companies not based in North America to assess and mitigate these risks. A patchwork of logistics providers, time zones and unclear responsibilities jeopardise the effectiveness and reliability of deliveries – especially when it comes to essential medical devices this can be fatal – not only for the manufacturers.
The Solution: FastCat Freight – Professional Logistics Across the Continent
FastCat Freight offers its customers professional logistics services in the United States and Canada, based on a network of over 60,000 verified suppliers. The company specialises in full truckload (FTL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) deliveries, making it attractive to large manufacturers and margins alike, as well as smaller businesses.
Thanks to intelligent information technologies, FastCat Freight can monitor all deliveries in real time and, of course, pass this data on to its clients. In addition, they have a team of experienced logistics experts who are familiar with the pitfalls of continental deliveries. For customers, this means greater planning reliability, fewer unforeseeable disruptions and a closed, uniform supply chain across North America.
An Ace Up Her Sleeve: Stephanie Bankston
Why is BEO BERLIN recommending FastCat Freight? Because this company has Stephanie Bankston, a German-speaking expert in logistics and regulatory affairs, on board. In her role as our long-standing US-Agent, Stephanie can become your reliable contact for your logistics in the US and Canada.
Thanks to her dual qualifications and close contact with BEO BERLIN, Stephanie understands the requirements and workflows of European manufacturers as well as the regulatory and logistical challenges in the US and Canada. This guarantees her clients simple, direct communication, fast decision-making processes and targeted problem solving.
US-Agent and Logistics Partner: One Contact, two Solutions
Manufacturers who wish to sell medical devices in the United States must overcome at least two hurdles: the regulatory requirements of the FDA, which are legally mandated, and the logistical requirements that come with exporting to another continent, which are inherent in the nature of the business. Entrepreneurs know that the more people are responsible for essential processes, the more demanding communication and management of the individual parties becomes and the greater the margin for error.
By combining both responsibilities in one person, manufacturers can look forward to more relaxed and error-free communication and more reliable management.
Example Scenarios and Services
The services offered by FastCat Freight have already proven themselves in a number of contexts:
- Express delivery of temperature-sensitive diagnostic kits to multiple destinations within the United States and Canada
- Distribution of smaller product quantities in LTL deliveries to hospitals, including complete tracking and documentation.
- Emergency redistribution of products to meet the requirements of an FDA audit – carried out with complete transparency and communication.
These examples show that reliable logistics is not a luxury, but an essential part of market access and regulatory conformity.
So: Access to the North American Market with a Reliable Logistics Partner Behind You
The US and Canadian markets offer enormous potential for medical device manufacturers – but only if the foundations of the company's organisation are right.
FastCat Freight is a logistics partner that understands and overcomes the logistical challenges of North America.
With Stephanie Bankston and FastCat Freight, manufacturers have a German-speaking partner for logistics requirements who, thanks to her proximity to BEO BERLIN and her experience as a US-Agent, also has the ideal niche knowledge.
BEO BERLIN is delighted about this cooperation and is confident that our customers will benefit from security and reliability across multiple time zones.
