Late-stage sponsors don't need more vendors. They need the right one.

Late-stage trials compress timelines, raise stakes, and expose weak links—especially in logistics partner selection.

Late-Stage Realities

Time compression

Logistics decisions become schedule decisions.

Higher cost of error

Misfit partners create cascading delays.

Lean teams

Limited bandwidth for exhaustive partner vetting.

Overchoice risk

Too many options slow execution.

Visibility pressure

Late-stage performance is highly exposed.

Best-fit is constraint alignment.

Sponsor constraints

  • Timing requirements
  • Geographic lanes
  • Handling specifications
  • Reliability standards
  • Escalation protocols

Consequences of misfit

  • Schedule delays
  • Partner churn
  • Unclear ownership
  • Resource drain
  • Execution risk

Enabling sponsor autonomy through disciplined selection.

Hlencan converts sponsor needs into clear partner criteria, ensuring that selection decisions are grounded in program-specific requirements rather than general vendor preferences.

Hlencan identifies and selects the best-fit freighter based on capability alignment, not volume or availability alone.

Sponsors retain a direct relationship with their logistics partner, supported by a structured selection process that de-risks the initial decision.
