Case Study: Dedicated Healthcare Logistics
Dedicated Healthcare Logistics Without Disruption
When one of the nation's largest integrated healthcare providers needed a partner to handle complex, high-volume medical deliveries across multiple facilities, they turned to American Expediting. From temperature-sensitive specimens to pharmacy totes and direct-to-patient medications, we deliver on time, every time—with dedicated routes, on-demand support, and clinical-grade precision.
The Challenge
Kaiser Permanente needed a logistics partner that could:
- Ensure time-definite delivery for medical materials across pharmacies, labs, and specialty care centers
- Manage both scheduled and on-demand deliveries—often on the same day
- Handle critical, temperature-sensitive items with full compliance and chain-of-custody documentation
- Provide direct-to-patient service when required
- Maintain consistency, visibility, and rapid responsiveness across all sites
