Pharmacists aren’t exactly the first group that comes to mind when thinking about who should be solving these deep-rooted logistics issues. They’ve spent years training to dispense medications and counsel patients, not oversee complex supply chain operations. Yet pharmacists are often forced into this position if their organization wants to provide an elevated experience in last-mile delivery orchestration. "You're now asking pharmacists to take on a whole new role,” says Courtney Catron, Account Executive here at Delivery Solutions. “[The pharmacists’] job has been to fill prescriptions, and now you're asking them to run a logistics company, and that's not their background, and they don't have time for that." It’s not about the time pressure. Pharmacists have long been dealing with strict delivery timeframes. Certain medications, like live vaccines and radiopharmaceuticals, must be administered within a specific window or handled in exact detail after being compounded. But simply handing these off to a delivery service provider and calling it a day isn’t possible (or legal). The complexities mount when you start to think about other types of medications. As Courtney put it, pharmacists are always mentally processing different aspects of the medication they provide. They might be asking, "Is it a refill? You're dealing with a high volume of regular prescriptions. Is it a narcotic? Is it something that needs to be scheduled and have a nurse to facilitate [administration]?" With so many details already within their day-to-day, adding an additional layer of last-mile logistics can increase strained pharmacies. As many organizations have found, the solution is applying the right technology to reduce decision fatigue, free up time, and allow pharmacists to focus on providing the best quality of service to patients.

Costs can be predicted and controlled by offering customers multiple options for receiving their product (e.g., same-day delivery, picking the product up in-store, or BOPA). This capability is especially crucial in today's retail landscape, where giants like Amazon, Walmart, and Target set the benchmark for an omnichannel experience. In many cases, though, a single DSP is unlikely to offer the coverage or rates that fit retailers’ needs. Fortunately, Delivery Solutions' single API enables retailers to work with multiple last-mile delivery providers. “One of the benefits of this single API is that it can connect to one, ten, or twenty different delivery providers without any added hassle,” said Amy Leachman, Director of Enterprise Accounts at Delivery Solutions. This gives the retailer the autonomy to make the decisions they would like to make depending on their customer’s request. Read how we've moved from Chaos to Control: https://hubs.la/Q02Rw17P0

Managing customer returns presents challenges impacting your business's operational efficiency, costs, and customer relationships. For example, businesses need to sort returns based on their condition. They then need to determine the next steps: restocking, refurbishing, or recycling. This process requires complex logistics operations, frequently involving many locations and decision points. Also, integrating returns with the inventory management system often requires sophisticated technological solutions to track and manage the returned stock. The high costs associated with returns go beyond the immediate expenses of shipping and processing. Returned items take up valuable warehouse space, creating additional costs. Refurbishing or discounting returned items to make them saleable again can also eat into profit margins. Customer satisfaction can be deeply impacted if returns aren't managed well. From the customer's point of view, a good returns service should include providing clear information on how to return items, efficient processing, and a quick refund process. Failing to provide this can deter customers from buying again. Learn how to increasing operations efficiency with consolidated returns: https://hubs.la/Q02Rv_KK0
