According to the company, with tremendous global growth in the transportation of cold chain products, healthcare companies can now choose from tiered service levels based on the degree of control needed, leveraging both the speed of air and the economies of ocean freight while ensuring protection in the supply chain.
“Listening to the marketplace, we are further broadening our UPS Temperature True® portfolio to meet these needs while also helping companies ensure compliance for a broader range of product temperature requirements.”

- UPS Temperature True® Plus for both active and passive shipments that maintains the strictest of temperature ranges in transit. UPS’s existing robust service includes comprehensive processes for managing shipments with the highest degree of risk mitigation.
- UPS Temperature True® Standard, is a new offering which is ideal for shipments that need lower levels of in-transit monitoring, while still helping healthcare companies maintain product compliance and peace of mind.
- UPS Temperature True® Saver, a first-to-market standardized ocean freight solution for temperature-sensitive shipments, is currently being piloted with customers and will roll out early in 2014. This option is ideal for large volume shipments where cost management and regulatory compliance are both paramount.
