Movianto France ensures continuity of healthcare product delivery during the Paris 2024 Olympics

During the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Movianto mobilized to maintain its public health mission. In collaboration with its clients and transport partners, the team was dedicated to anticipating and managing healthcare product deliveries during this critical period.

Thanks to ongoing communication with authorities and transport partners, we anticipated delivery challenges in certain areas, not only during the events but also before and after, due to setup and teardown activities. The challenge lay in adapting daily to the shifting zones defined by authorities, each with specific regulations.

Aware of our key role in patient health security, Movianto’s team activated a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) as early as March 2024. This BCP aimed to implement procedures ensuring the continuity of our logistics operations during this period. A task force was formed, including representatives from quality, operations, customer experience, human resources, and transport departments. The first step was to identify risks that could affect critical activities: receiving, storing, preparing, and dispatching orders.

Two main working groups were established:

•  A group focused on logistics and transport activities.

•  A group dedicated to HR matters related to the event.

Each group proposed solutions to address the identified risks, enabling Movianto to meet its commitments to clients and patients during the Games.

 

Concrete Actions Taken:
  • Hiring a dedicated individual to monitor orders in restricted zones.
  • Identifying all orders destined for restricted zones.
  • Preparing and assigning specific transport for restricted-zone orders.
  • Daily monitoring of all Olympic-related orders.

 

In parallel, Movianto’s logistics team and Eurotranspharma’s transport team conducted extensive mapping to identify client recipients in impacted zones. Based on recipient type, various action plans were proposed to laboratories. Movianto offered over 30 laboratories two delivery models: insulated coolers or boxes with temperature loggers for products needing +2°C/+8°C. Each client chose the model best suited to their product type.

 

A communication plan kept clients informed of Movianto’s deployed solutions, and they were also asked to limit or anticipate orders whenever possible during this period.

Movianto is proud to have delivered over 15,358 healthcare products in restricted zones during the Games. This challenge demonstrated our agility and pushed us to our limits in a high-stakes context.

This experience strengthened our close ties with Eurotranspharma, our dedicated healthcare transport partner, which supported us fully in this endeavor. Our clients, too, played a vital role in the smooth operation of our activities, thanks to their anticipation and limitation of orders in moving zones. Once again, our commitment and partnerships with all stakeholders in the pharmaceutical sector ensured patient health security.
