Rapid delivery for blood, kidneys, and biopsies.
Guaranteed 15-minute pickup, GPS tracking, and zero miscommunication.
PARTNERS
Avol provides a novel rapid medical delivery service to ensure faster delivery of blood, kidneys, and biopsies between medical facilities using a novel combination of ground-based drivers and automation.
The key is simple, transparent, fast deliveries. Some couriers can take up to 4 hours to arrive on-location for pickup, provide limited real-time traceability, and often get confused upon arrival due to the multitude of hospital entrances. Avol guarantees 15 minute pickup, zero confusion, and extremely competitive pricing. With specific customers, we are beginning to roll out drone deliveries for specific routes to reduce transit time by up to 80%.
