April 2025 – Schmitz Cargobull has successfully had its GDP certificate renewed for the TrailerConnect® telematics system, enabling it to continue offering pharma customers certified vehicles ex works.

“TrailerConnect®’s certification enables our customers to present an important certificate for GDP audits in temperature-controlled transport, confirming that our products meet high standards of safety, security and quality,” explains Marnix Lannoije, Chief Development Officer at Schmitz Cargobull AG. “Thanks to our GDP certificate, customers can guarantee and document full process reliability across the entire process chain; from data recording in the trailer, and data storage and visualisation in the portal, through to the forwarding of data via the API [interface for forwarding data to third-party systems].”

TrailerConnect® telematics system once again recertified

The European Commission introduced the guidelines for the GDP of medicinal products for human use as early as 2013 for the purposes of quality assurance and protection against counterfeit medicines. Manufacturers, pharmaceutical wholesalers and pharmacists are required to subject their processes to yearly audits. The criteria for certification in accordance with GDP are reviewed every two years. Following a comprehensive audit by the TÜV Süd authorities, Schmitz Cargobull’s TrailerConnect® telematics system was once again recertified for another two years.

As part of the audit, the following subject areas were examined in detail: interface description, data storage, data protection, risk analysis for software development, software updates and data backup, organisational processes and structures in the company, software manual, sensor specification, company description, the quality management manual and the ISO 9001.

Schmitz Cargobull holds an official certificate with a test and accreditation number from TÜV Süd. The certificate for the GDP audit can be requested from Schmitz Cargobull at any time.
