Problem

Trans-Bridge Freight Services Ltd, a key player in pharmaceutical logistics between GB and the Island of Ireland, faced complex operational challenges in maintaining the integrity of temperature-controlled shipments. To ensure patient safety and regulatory compliance, the company needed to manage five critical pillars: regulatory compliance, product efficacy, patient safety, ESG, and security. Managing these requirements across fragmented logistics data systems created hurdles in achieving real-time visibility, ensuring reliable temperature monitoring, and maintaining secure, efficient border crossings.

Solution

Trans-Bridge Freight Services Ltd has partnered with ubloquity to deploy the ubiNex platform, which digitises and strengthens temperature-controlled shipments. The platform unifies fragmented logistics data into a single, secure, real-time system, including:

• Temperature monitoring

• GPS tracking

• Consignment authentication

• Documentation

Brian Anderton, Director at Trans-Bridge Freight Services Ltd, highlighted:

“As a key player in the pharmaceutical logistics sphere, particularly between GB and the Island of Ireland, we have five key pillars of responsibility to our pharma and healthcare clients: regulatory compliance, product efficacy, patient safety, ESG and security. The ubiNex platform supports our operation in all these responsibilities by combining hi-tech security, temperature visibility, GPS traceability and document control in one centralised dashboard. Visibility to all trusted parties in our network gives immediate access to trusted information, reducing delays and assuring the highest compliance.”

Outcome

By using the ubiNex platform, Trans-Bridge has created a tamper-evident digital record of each shipment, enabling faster border processes and reducing administrative burden. The collaboration has enabled the following improvements:

• Strengthened cold-chain assurance and protected product integrity.

• Provided immutable, regulator-ready audit data on demand.

• Reduce delays at borders through pre-authenticated consignments

• Improved overall supply chain efficiency and transparency.

Kieran Kelly, CEO of ubloquity, commented:

“Digital infrastructure can solve some of the most complex challenges in global supply chains. By bringing together authentication, real-time tracking, and compliance into a single platform, we’re enabling Trans-Bridge to move critical pharmaceutical products with greater certainty, transparency and efficiency, while maintaining the highest standards of safety and regulatory compliance.”

The deployment builds on ubloquity’s wider Secure Freight initiative, which has already supported more than 1,700 cross-border journeys and facilitated the movement of over £180 million of goods.
