ParcelShield Holdings, a provider of predictive parcel tracking solutions for healthcare clients, has joined forces with healthcare supply chain technology provider Triose.

Through the collaboration, Triose will leverage ParcelShield's technology to improve visibility and ensure timely delivery of critical medical shipments to its hospital and healthcare network customers.

ParcelShield CEO Kirk Nilson said: “We are working with Triose to leverage ParcelShield’s proprietary artificial intelligence and predictive solution in order to make better and more informed decisions about when and how to ship critical healthcare supplies, identify packages at risk throughout the delivery journey, and provide customers the best experience possible.”

By leveraging ParcelShield's predictive analytics and tracking capabilities, Triose can closely monitor the entire medication delivery process and proactively manage packages at risk of shipping delays.

In addition, the solution enables real-time package tracking updates and captures documentation for proof of delivery, facilitating reimbursement processes and reducing the likelihood of audits.

ParcelShield's comprehensive shipping recommendations based on various data points such as weather forecasts and carrier status, assist healthcare providers in optimising their operations and selecting the most suitable delivery dates and service levels.

Triose vice president and general manager Nick Pierce said: “Our partnership with ParcelShield expands Triose’s capabilities, both in helping to remove patient barriers to receiving high quality, affordable care, as well as maintaining security and visibility with pinpoint accuracy and high-speed delivery across the entire healthcare supply chain.

“Ultimately, leveraging ParcelShield’s solution furthers Triose’s mission to provide solutions and expertise that help healthcare provider customers realise savings and efficiencies while focusing on what matters most – the patient.”
