Life Science Outsourcing’s FDA-certified fulfillment warehouse has over 30,000 square feet of secure storage space, and our team has the experience and expertise to provide cost-efficient and effective storage solutions.
Reliable warehousing is critical to protecting medical devices while ensuring efficient distribution. As part of our end-to-end solutions, we provide secure, climate-controlled storage, real-time inventory tracking, and seamless order fulfillment. With optimized logistics and compliance-driven processes, we help you streamline operations and reduce costs.
For perishable products such as medical supplies and pharmaceuticals, warehouse storage requires attentive control. Variations in humidity and temperature can have dire consequences if they cause medicines to become ineffective or if they result in the collapse of vital medical equipment.
Ensuring the temperature stays within a given range is fairly straightforward for a small area. However, when goods are transferred to larger spaces, especially warehouses, a variety of problems may arise. Inconsistencies in temperature can occur as racking or shelves may cause “hot spots” by obstructing air circulation. Temperatures also tend to be higher by heaters or lower next to dock loading bays where the doors are constantly opened and closed.
New technologies now enable the recording and logging of detailed information for changes in things such as the average temperature inside a specific package within a warehouse. These devices, or data loggers, monitor temperature, humidity, and other conditions for items in storage or transit. The highest / lowest temperatures are recorded, and any time spent outside of these preset limits.
In temperature-controlled warehousing, the packaging in which products are stored is of equal importance. However, with recent changes to the world due to global warming and the overall environmental impact that we have on the planet, packaging has changed considerably. Many conventional solutions for packaging are now scarce and have brought forth temperature-controlled packaging via PCMs, or phase change materials. PCMs can frequently be reused as well which assists not only in minimizing carbon footprint but allows companies to operate more efficiently.

Medical device manufacturers rely on fulfillment and distribution partners with extensive warehousing capabilities to streamline storage, shipping, and tracking.
Because orthopedic kits contain so many instruments and implants, they are incredibly expensive to manufacture and end up tying up significant capital. One of the best ways to drive down that capital need is by increasing the amount of revenue each set of instruments and implants can make for you. By pulling your underused inventory back from hospitals and distributors and placing it in a regional warehouse, you can provide better support to your customers while maximizing the number of surgeries per orthopedic kit.
Life Science Outsourcing’s warehousing and distribution services are designed to do exactly that. By tapping into our existing infrastructure in Southern California, our customers can quickly and cost effectively pool their regional inventory. This enables them to better control inventory, service their hospitals and sales reps, and significantly save shipping costs. Our distribution services, in conjunction with our loaner kit processing services, allow our clients to reduce the inventory they need in southern California while enhancing sales.
