INTRODUCTION

About STADA

STADA Arzneimittel AG is a global pharmaceutical company with a presence in over 120 countries. With a focus on consumer healthcare and specialty pharmaceuticals, STADA delivers high-quality, affordable medications that improve patient outcomes. Among their portfolio is Lecigimon, a treatment for Parkinson’s disease requiring precise logistics and storage conditions due to its limited shelf life.

 

CHALLENGE

Managing a Complex, Time-Sensitive Supply Chain

STADA needed a better way to manage the distribution of Lecigimon, a Parkinson’s medication with a six-month expiration period and strict refrigeration requirements. The existing process relied heavily on manual communication and tracking across hospitals, logistics centers, and pharmacies. Orders were placed via phone or email, inventory was recorded in spreadsheets, and visibility across the supply chain was fragmented.

Given Lecigimon’s long lead time, approximately six months from order to warehouse delivery, inefficiencies in communication and tracking increased the risk of expired stock and delayed patient care. In addition to the medication, patients require a probe and pump for administration, each with its expiration date that must be monitored and replaced when necessary.

STADA needed a centralized system that would provide real-time visibility into stock levels, expiration timelines, and logistics coordination across all involved parties.

SOLUTION

One Platform. All Medication Insights.

We designed and developed a custom digital platform tailored to STADA’s medication distribution workflow. The application enables pharmacies, hospitals, and logistics teams to track the status and expiration of Lecigimon, pumps, and probes in one shared environment.

Core Capabilities

  • Stock management for each location, including quantity, expiration dates, and storage conditions
  • Real-time status updates for the availability and movement of medication and related equipment
  • User role control with permissions for pharmacies, hospitals, logistics partners, and STADA administrators
  • Expiration tracking and alerts to minimize waste and ensure timely replacements
  • Web and mobile accessibility to support usage in clinical and logistical environments
  • Secure hosting with GDPR-compliant data handling

The solution was developed in React and integrated with STADA’s operational workflows. It was deployed as a progressive web app for flexible access, eliminating the need for an app store distribution.

OUTCOME

30% Faster. 100% More Control. 

  • Delivery time reduced by 30%
  • Replaced fragmented communication with a centralized digital system
  • Reduced risk of expired medication and equipment through real-time tracking
  • Improved coordination between hospitals, logistics centers, and STADA teams
  • Enabled faster, data-driven decisions through unified inventory visibility
  • Built a scalable foundation for expanding inventory control to additional pharmaceutical products

The platform now plays a critical role in ensuring Lecigimon and its delivery components reach patients safely and efficiently, while helping STADA maintain high standards in medication logistics and patient support.
