Venus awarded with "Good Distribution Practices" certification

Venus received the coveted Good Distribution Practices (GDP) Certification (WHO TRS 957 ANNEX-5) for quality services throughout the Supply Chain Cycle, i.e., from product manufacturing to delivery to end-consumer. SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) is the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company. SGS awarded this remarkable certification 📜 to VRL after a virtual inspection & audit that started in October 2021.

The certification is an endorsement of the company's entire supply chain cycle, including distribution, operations and processes. SGS awarded the WHO GDP certification following an elaborate audit. Internationally accepted pharmaceutical GDP regulations stipulate that distributors of pharmaceutical products and warehouses must align their operations with the specified standards.

We adopted a 360-degree customer-centric approach to increase transparency and efficiency in the pharmaceutical supply chain. The up-gradation of the processes with digital marketplaces for online ordering, real-time order tracking, payment reconciliation and live chat support; and the adoption of the IoT technologies to expand the reach of products to stockists/retailers directly and track shipments, along with essential data points like temperature, humidity and anti-tampering alarms in real-time helped us achieve this milestone. We also developed proprietary warehousing algorithms for cartonisation and shipper selection to reduce shipping and delivery time to half.
