Trust is the foundation of pharmaceutical distribution. Saddle River Marketing Concepts (SRMC) is a VAWD accredited distributor - a Verified-Accredited Wholesale Distributor recognized by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). In May 2006, SRMC became the 5th company in the United States to earn this credential, at a time when very few distributors nationwide had gone through this level of independent verification.
What Is VAWD Accreditation?
VAWD accreditation is awarded by NABP to wholesale distributors who meet strict standards for storage, security, personnel, and recordkeeping. It exists to confirm that a distributor's operations protect the integrity of the pharmaceutical supply chain from manufacturer to pharmacy, at a time when counterfeit and diverted product remain real risks in the industry. Rather than allowing a distributor to simply state that it follows best practices, VAWD requires independent, documented proof.
Our Accreditation History
Earning VAWD accreditation required an intensive review of SRMC's Standard Operating Procedures, verification of federal and state regulatory compliance, criminal and financial background checks on key personnel, and a two-day on-site quality inspection conducted by NABP. Inspectors reviewed our facility's physical security, our recordkeeping practices, and our personnel screening procedures against the full VAWD criteria before accreditation was granted. SRMC underwent this process again and was reaccredited by NABP in October 2009, reaffirming that our facility and procedures continue to meet the standard as our operations have grown.
Inventory Visibility
Our in-house IDOP order and inventory system gives your team real-time visibility into stock levels, lot numbers, and expiration tracking, so you always know what's on the shelf and what's ready to ship. Rather than relying on periodic manual counts or end-of-week reports, your team can see current inventory positions as they change, which supports better reorder timing, more accurate demand planning, and faster response when a lot needs to be pulled or quarantined.
Receiving, Put-Away & Cycle Counting
Incoming shipments are received against purchase orders, inspected, and put away following documented procedures that keep lot and expiration data attached to every unit from the moment it enters the building. Regular cycle counts are performed to catch and correct any discrepancies early, rather than waiting for a full physical inventory to surface issues. This ongoing verification process is part of what keeps our inventory accuracy high and audit-ready at any time.
Who We Warehouse For
Pharmaceutical manufacturers, specialty distributors, and marketing teams use SRMC to store trade inventory, HCP samples, and direct mail materials under one roof - reducing the number of vendors and handoffs between production and the patient or provider. Brands running multi-channel programs - trade distribution alongside a sampling program or a direct mail campaign - benefit from having all of that inventory managed inside a single compliant facility with one point of contact, rather than coordinating across separate warehousing, sampling, and mailing vendors.
Scaling With Your Program
Storage needs rarely stay flat. Product launches, seasonal promotions, and growing distribution footprints all change how much space and throughput a brand needs. Our facility is set up to flex with that - adding capacity for a launch, supporting overflow during a demand spike, or scaling down once volumes normalize - without requiring a new vendor relationship or a disruptive transition each time your needs change.
