Over a year ago, the coronavirus pandemic brought the world to a halt. The disruption put a lot of strain and uncertainty on the time-critical logistics industry. With grounded flights, businesses operating remotely, and the human toll, we entered a world we had never experienced before. However, the importance of time-critical shipments remained and it forced logistics providers to adapt in order to continue providing reliable service. Industries such as healthcare, aerospace, and manufacturing still required same-day deliveries for critical circumstances such as emergency surgery or a missing or damaged airplane part. Here, we outline what you should expect from time-critical logistics providers along with the lessons learned while operating during a pandemic.

In our recently published white paper, How to Prevent Costly Delays for Time-Critical Medical Specimen Shipments, we detail the current challenges labs and hospitals face when using manual shipping processes and the costly, sometimes life-threatening, implications associated with avoidable shipping delays. With hospitals, labs, and healthcare systems in mind, this report highlights the importance of time-critical shipping and the various challenges a delayed or failed shipment can create. You’ll also read about how one national lab improved shipping transparency and efficiency which led to fewer delays, an increase in patient satisfaction, and ultimately success. 

Imagine you’re planning a time-critical package to be delivered across the country when there are over 180 million route options available to you. Do you know how long it would take a single person to analyze and calculate each potential ETA? Luckily with Airspace, you never have to think about that! We utilize our industry-first, patented technology to take the hassle out of shipping time-critical packages and deliver unrivaled speed and visibility on every shipment including organs for transplant, medical specimens, aircraft parts, COVID-19 tests, vaccines, and more. Let’s take a deeper dive into how our technology and team help streamline time-critical shipments!

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Airspace has officially rebranded, with the launch of our revamped website – including a new and modern logo – which gives visitors an elevated user experience and portrays our company’s culture and core values. 

When you’re an Organ Procurement Organization (OPO), the consequences of a delayed or failed time-critical delivery can be the difference between life and death. In Airspace’s latest white paper, we detail the shocking statistics and various scenarios that can occur when time-critical deliveries, specifically organs for transplant, are mismanaged. One of the biggest causes of delayed shipments is the lack of speed, visibility, and timeliness in the industry today. Here, we will take a closer look at how faster driver dispatch times and transparency assist in the successful deliveries of viable organs for transplant.

Spring is officially here, but we still aren’t clear from the stormy weather in certain areas around the United States. The weather plays a significant role in the successful deliveries of time-critical shipments. It helps to have stable conditions that are easy to adapt to in order to ensure a smooth shipping process. While there is no way to prevent unforeseen weather conditions from taking place, there are ways to continue transporting shipments experiencing delays. Many courier companies close down their operations and facilities in the event of a storm, however Airspace works relentlessly to assist those who are unable to send and receive their time-sensitive packages such as organs for transplant, medical specimens, and COVID-19 tests and vaccines.
