Rapid delivery for blood, kidneys, and biopsies.
10-minute pickup, GPS tracking, and hospital-trained drivers.
PARTNERS
Avol provides a new rapid medical delivery service to ensure faster delivery of blood, kidneys, and biopsies between medical facilities using a novel combination of ground-based drivers and automation.
The key is simple, transparent, fast deliveries. Some couriers can take up to 4 hours to arrive on-location for pickup, provide limited real-time traceability, and often get confused upon arrival due to the multitude of hospital entrances. Our drivers always arrive within 15 minutes of being called and attach a physical GPS tag to each shipment so you can track your shipments in real-time. With specific customers, we are beginning to roll out drone deliveries for specific routes to reduce transit time by up to 80%.
