About The Customer
Taimen Transport LLC is a rapidly growing logistics company located in Chattanooga, TN specializing in over-the-road transportation. The company has an extensive background in time-critical delivery and expedited shipments going back to 2012. Much of their work included high-dollar mission-critical shipments for the energy industry, such as flatbed deliveries of oil rig equipment. As they grew their expedited business in 2019 and 2020, they expanded their relationships in airfreight and continued to see strong growth despite the disruptions from the pandemic. Taimen can pick up a shipment anywhere in America in 90 minutes or less. Their reputation as a “can-do, get it done” logistics provider enabled by industry-leading technology – Turvo – brought opportunity inbound.
The Challenge
Taimen Transport LLC, a rapidly growing logistics company, had previously implemented Turvo, a cloud-based collaborative logistics platform, which became a mission-critical part of their business. As Taimen grew, Turvo increased their productivity by over 400% and improved their communication with customers. However, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Taimen faced a new challenge. Vaccines were authorized for emergency use and needed to be transported across the country. The success of the cold chain was critical, and failure was not an option. Taimen was called upon to handle this critical task.
The Solution
Taimen leveraged Turvo’s platform to unite their systems & data, collaborate more effectively, and future-proof their business. The platform provided actionable visibility, live tracking, fast carrier onboarding, carrier management, and advanced analytics. With the Turvo Driver App, individual trucks could be tracked in real-time. Tracking information could be easily shared with anyone through public tracking links. With integration to RMIS, Taimen could onboard a new carrier and have them ready to move a shipment in about 20 minutes. Once onboarded, managing carriers in Turvo allowed Taimen to track performance and develop great carrier partners. Turvo Analytics helped Taimen to understand and optimize their business, and share that information with their customers, creating a level of transparency and trust that continued to drive new opportunities for them.

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
