Better Routes, Better Care

By Mark Zoff, MedSpeed Vice President of Analytics 

“We get better every day” is more than a belief—it’s how we operate. This tenet drives us to continuously innovate, find new ways to add value, and ensure we’re always raising the bar. Our new routing system is a perfect example.  This new, advanced system takes our operations to the next level, optimizing routes by consolidating pickups and drop-offs more efficiently. The result? Faster deliveries, fewer miles traveled, and even greater reliability. By adopting this more sophisticated technology, we are not just improving our processes—we are enhancing our ability to support our customers as they continue to grow and evolve. 

Precision Routing for Greater Reliability 

The ability to process complex routing challenges with greater precision allows us to account for traffic patterns, busy times of day, and service durations at various locations. This ensures we can stick to promised delivery times, even in the most congested areas. By minimizing delays, the system helps us deliver a more reliable and predictable service, giving our customers peace of mind that every delivery will arrive when expected. 

Supporting Agility  

At any point in time, our routing network is continuously evolving to meet the dynamic needs of our clients. Through proactive analysis, we engage in ongoing discussions with customers to identify potential adjustments that enhance efficiency and service quality. By monitoring recent trends, we uncover opportunities to add or remove services, ensuring the network remains optimized for current demands. Our team develops potential routing solutions that reflect shifting priorities, allowing us to present win-win proposals that maximize value for both parties. This collaborative approach ensures that our logistics network remains agile, delivering continuous improvement and sustained operational excellence. 

A Commitment to Sustainability 

We, as well as a lot of our customers, are also mindful of our environmental footprint, and our new routing system helps us contribute to a greener future. By optimizing routes to reduce the number of miles driven, we are able to decrease fuel consumption and lower carbon emissions. This aligns with the growing industry focus on sustainability, and we are proud to partner with our customers in making more eco-conscious logistics decisions. 

Optimizing for the Future of Healthcare 

Our new routing system provides us with overall optimal efficiency that contributes to a more streamlined operation. As a result, we continue meeting every delivery need with greater accuracy and reliability, keeping all our networks running smoothly.  This is just one example of how we are committed to helping healthcare achieve its goals—faster, smarter, and greener.
