Supplier and customer qualification in pharmaceutical wholesale

Verify, approve and monitor authorised medicine suppliers, customers, delivery addresses and critical service providers.

Topics we master

Qualify suppliers before purchase

Manufacturers, importers and wholesalers are checked against product, activity, location and supply route.

  • Verify identity and legal entity
  • Check manufacturing or wholesale authorisation
  • Match site and authorised scope
  • Document approval before first receipt

Verify customers and delivery addresses

Recipient eligibility must match the product, activity and actual delivery point.

  • Classify pharmacy, wholesaler or other recipient
  • Verify licence and registered site
  • Control alternative delivery addresses
  • Reassess changes before delivery

Licences, certificates and registers

Register results are interpreted for scope, status, site and date; one document alone is not sufficient.

  • Use EudraGMDP and national registers
  • Monitor expiry and status changes
  • Identify diversion or falsification signals
  • Retain review evidence

Risk, audit and ongoing monitoring

Criticality and performance determine audit frequency, agreements and review cycles.

  • Risk class and requalification cycle
  • Quality or technical agreement
  • KPI, complaint and deviation monitoring
  • Blocking and escalation workflow

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How is a pharmaceutical supplier qualified?

Verify identity, site, activity, authorisation and GDP status using reliable registers and evidence, then document risk assessment, approval and periodic monitoring.

Must every wholesale customer be qualified?

The wholesaler must verify that the recipient is entitled to receive the relevant medicines before supply. The depth and review cycle are risk-based.

Is a GDP certificate enough for approval?

No. Its issuer, site, scope and status must be assessed together with authorisation and supply-chain information.
