Express Distribution:
During medical emergencies of hospitals and medical camps, including epidemics, Safexpress provides express distribution services through air movement of products like critical vaccines, surgical & hospital supplies. Their current network allows 100 percent weather-proof vehicles to move round the clock on fixed routes with minimal stoppages, thus ensuring consistent, reliable and on-time deliveries.
3PL Warehousing:
The varied range of medical and wellness products in the healthcare segment come in multiple sizes, packaging, complex names and compositions, which require careful picking, put away and inventory management processes and norms. While some products require special kind of racking, others require appropriate material handling equipment due to their odd sizes. The storage has to be managed as per the specific temperatures & hygiene conditions of some healthcare products as well. Moreover, since these products have a fixed shelf life, managing the regular segregation, inventory & returns of expired products becomes a task in itself. Thus, 3PL for healthcare is a customized service designed to meet the requirements of different customers.
In addition, Safexpress offers Sunday/Holiday deliveries and Direct2MR deliveries, which is an exclusive service that furnishes samples directly to the medical representatives without any extra cost. Direct delivery system allows deliveries to be made directly from all 30 major airports to the doorsteps of the customers.
