Corodata needed a solution that would not only improve efficiency and reduce costs but also ensure the privacy and safety of the drivers and recipients.
The Challenge
Corodata, a records management company, was faced with the challenge of handling and delivering highly sensitive legal and medical documents. These documents required utmost discretion, privacy, and signatures, making the delivery process complex and delicate. The company's primary customers were medical facilities, law firms, and businesses that interacted with these entities, further emphasizing the need for a secure and efficient delivery system. The last mile delivery, which is the final step in a product's journey from the manufacturer to the customer, was particularly challenging. This stage is often regarded as representing around 50% of the total supply chain cost due to its many moving parts. Corodata needed a solution that would not only improve efficiency and reduce costs but also ensure the privacy and safety of the drivers and recipients.
The Solution
Corodata turned to Onfleet, a delivery management platform, to help manage its deliveries efficiently. Onfleet's intuitive technology connects delivery managers, drivers, and recipients, focusing on last mile deliveries. The platform offers features such as contactless signatures, which are crucial in a business that legally requires these yet also wishes to respect the safety of the drivers and recipients. Onfleet clients like Corodata can also choose to anonymize all phone numbers on messaging and telephony services, further protecting the privacy of individuals and businesses involved. As more businesses turn to delivery as both a distribution and communications channel, Onfleet has proven to be skilled at helping customers develop a comprehensive solution that fits their unique challenges. For businesses handling secure, time-sensitive items, an advanced delivery tech partner like Onfleet can bring efficiency to the network and further protect the customers' assets.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.
