To meet the growing demands of elite customers around the world, ProShip has partnered with UPS to offer the UPS Premier carrier service to ProShip customers. This new service is a part of recent service and technology upgrades to meet the visibility requirements of priority healthcare shipments.

Leveraging UPS’s Smart Global Logistics Network package tracking capabilities and advanced sensor technology, this new healthcare-focused service allows for priority sort, flow, and delivery of critical healthcare shipments.

UPS Healthcare President Wes Wheeler explains, “This new technology-enabled for fee service is what we call a priority lane within the integrated UPS package network. We will be able to classify and identify critical healthcare shipments before they leave our customers’ hands and enable greater visibility and control through their journey with technology. This is a major breakthrough in managing sensitive shipments that require an extra level of control.”

Benefits of specialized control on critical healthcare shipments

With the pandemic stretching the supply chain to its limits, critical healthcare shipments must arrive on time and undamaged. Upgrading small packages with these unique sensor systems allows for specialized control of these shipments including:

Priority Handling

Small packages can receive white glove services, which are typically set aside for specialty freight. Expect priority handling throughout the shipment journey, including preferred delivery services and alerts.

Enhanced Sensor-Based Visibility

Advanced sensor technology built into to a highly visible labeling system gives shippers the ability to customize visibility for each individual shipment.

Live 24/7 Monitoring

With professional UPS Healthcare agents monitoring shipments 24/7, shippers can be assured of not only package progression, but intervention services.

Advanced Recovery

With a set of predetermined handling instructions, packages are effectively located, and any necessary actions can quickly be completed for distressed shipments.

Paul Vassallo, UPS vice president of healthcare strategy, continues, “The UPS Premier technology-enabled priority service gives customers unprecedented control, visibility and reliability in their supply chain.”
