Built for Growth: Agile Pharma Distribution | Yves Meier, Bavarian Nordic

A vaccine forecast can miss by a factor of three. One news story about an outbreak, and the orders arrive at the pharmacy, the sales team and the 3PL within days. In this episode of the Connected Cold Chain Podcast, Yves Meier, Senior 3PL Manager DACH & ROW at Bavarian Nordic, joins host Mohammed Nouh to talk through how he designs a distribution network for that kind of demand. He manages seven 3PL partners across Europe and reviews that network continuously as volumes and markets change. In this episode, you’ll learn: 🔹 What a vaccine business needs from a 3PL that big pharma doesn’t 🔹 Why surge capacity belongs in the contract from day one 🔹 How travel-vaccine seasonality drives summer peaks 🔹 When a local 3PL beats a central European warehouse 🔹 How moving stock between countries keeps stockouts short 🔹 The three things he looks for in a long-term partner 🔹 How to cut product loss in vaccines Watch the full episode to hear why Yves calls your 3PL “the hands and feet of your supply chain.” 🎧 Listen to the 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁 on: Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/episode/64OQ...
