Techniques Medical Couriers Use to Maintain Speed and Accuracy

When people are in medical distress, they can’t afford to wait. Some conditions need to be tended to immediately. The longer they remain unaddressed, the harder it could be to fix the problem.

R Courier is proud to quickly but safely deliver medicine, medical equipment, lab specimens, hazardous material, and more. Balancing speed with accuracy is what makes us a leader in the field.

GPS and Other Technology

When technology is used properly, it can provide a much-needed boost. R Courier has GPS tracking technology that lets patients understand where the delivery vehicle is in real-time. They can also use it to replay the routes taken so that when they receive it, they can ensure it was on track throughout its journey.

We also have powerful technology that optimizes route planning strategies so our drivers avoid needless days. Sometimes, roads can be unpredictable. Our game-changing technology mitigates uncertainty.

No Mechanical Breakdowns

R Courier goes to extreme lengths to ensure every vehicle in our fleet is well-serviced and maintained to avoid the chances of a breakdown during the delivery. After all, every vehicle needs upkeep after months or years of wear and tear.

We regularly check to ensure our vehicles are in good repair and always keep an extra vehicle on stand-by in case the first one has an issue on the road. Any car troubles can slow down the delivery process, causing any ETA to become inaccurate.

R Courier prides itself on providing reliable ETAs and keeping a well-maintained service fleet is a major part of that.

Computerized But with Printouts

Technology can provide some pretty incredible services, like GPS systems users can track in real-time. However, sometimes, technology fails, and we’re always prepared for any eventuality.

All our drivers have radios in addition to digital communication devices. They also carry digital printouts of the route, greatly minimizing any chance of an error. The combination of high- and low-tech equipment gives every driver the best chance of success, and that’s what accuracy is all about.

Reliability

Medical equipment is often time-sensitive, but people’s idea of “rush” can vary considerably. No matter the package’s urgency, we can transport it at that speed.

For example, our regular packages ship before 5 pm. A package labelled “rush” is shipped within 3-4 hours, depending on delivery zones, and assuming the call was placed before 1 pm. “Direct” packages get delivered within 1.5-2 hours, while “urgent” packages are sent in a non-stop fashion.

“Overnight” packages will be delivered by the next day. We handle all medical deliveries in Southwestern Ontario at whatever speed is required.

R Courier often need to deliver medical supplies and medications to far-flung regions away from major hospitals, which is a serious responsibility but also a logistical challenge. Every measure we take to boost the delivery’s speed has a corresponding effort to ensure the package is received in mint condition, so it’s safe and effective for medical use.
