BBK Worldwide Establishes In-House Distribution Center
In a joint effort with Ricoh Americas Corporation*, BBK Worldwide, Inc., announces the expansion of its production facility to include full-service, in-house distribution services, called Distribution Central. These services were developed to reduce the time-to-market for production and distribution of communications materials to the clinical research sites.
BBK is committed to making the same robust tools currently available to study sites in the United States, available to study sites throughout the world. Distribution Central complements BBK's cultural adaptation, translation and variable in-house printing capabilities.
In addition to Distribution Central, BBK will be introducing an online document management system designed specifically to track recruitment and retention materials for clinical trials. Starting in October, BBK will be taking on full responsibility for regulatory submissions globally, and managing direct distribution to study sites on an expedited basis.
Clinical trial sponsors in need of assistance with any aspect of material development–from creative concepts, to development and production, to delivery at an investigator's doorstep–can contact BBK at (617) 630-4477 or info@bbkworldwide.com.
*Ricoh Americas Corporation is the US arm of Ricoh Company, Ltd., Japan.
