YOUR SENIOR LOGISTICS SOLUTIONEER. European pharmaceutical distribution and 3PL setup for biotech launching in the EU4.

Building the distribution logistics behind your EU4 pharmaceutical launch — warehousing, distribution, last mile, data and provider setup for rare, orphan and specialty products.

SCROLL — THE GERMANY ENGAGEMENT ↓
“I am not learning European pharmaceutical logistics on your launch.”

I have already built, implemented and hardened the operating models. You get operator-led judgment, documented requirements and executable next steps — from the person doing the work.

Johann Strobl · Founder & Senior Logistics Solutioneer
Independence

No hour upsell. No junior researchers. No commissions.

Fixed fee for a defined scope — there is no incentive to stretch the work. No payment from any assessed provider, and nobody billed to your project who is learning on it.

Boundary

Operational logistics. Not a Quality audit.

Vendor qualification, GDP compliance audit, regulatory approval and legal responsibility stay with the sponsor and its Quality organisation.

The asterisk
Graybeard startup

A new company, not a new career. Decades of European pharmaceutical distribution logistics behind it — the learning curve was paid for elsewhere.

Senior delivery

The person you speak to is the person doing the work. No handover to a delivery team after the sale.

No pyramid

Fixed fee, defined scope, one contact. You are not funding analysts, engagement managers or a partner's utilisation target.

00 Positioning

What PLC is deliberately not.

General supply chain consulting

In the US that term covers CMO/CDMO, supply planning, procurement, S&OP and clinical supply.

Instead: distribution logistics — inbound interfaces, warehouse, order flows, distribution, last mile, invoicing, data and reporting.

QA / GDP audit

Vendor qualification and compliance responsibility remain with the sponsor's Quality organisation.

Instead: operational launch requirements and reality checks from an implementation and operator perspective.

3PL broker

Commissions or preferred providers would destroy the credibility of the selection.

Instead: independent provider assessment and selection support, never paid by the providers.

Large-firm consulting

You rarely need a multi-layer project organisation to make a logistics decision.

Instead: direct work with the senior solutioneer — defined scope, fixed fee, decision output.

Operational reality

The model has to survive the warehouse floor.

A distribution concept is agreed in meetings and proven in operations. Requirements are assessed against how a site actually receives, stores, picks and ships — not against a capability statement.
