UPS to provide logistics support for Resilinc’s
hospital-to-hospital exchange serving thousands of healthcare
organizations
Resilinc, the leading provider of AI-based supply chain mapping
and disruption monitoring services, and UPS (NYSE:UPS) Healthcare,
provider of comprehensive commercial and clinical logistics
solutions, will collaborate to serve the healthcare industry by
locating and delivering critical medical items and equipment via
The Exchange at Resilinc.
The Exchange at Resilinc is a cloud-based platform for the
healthcare industry where hospitals interact with vetted peer
organizations to locate and then initiate the process of borrowing
or exchanging items listed on the platform. It launches in
mid-April and is available at no cost for hospitals and healthcare
organizations.
“As a result of the Coronavirus, our teams have collaborated
with strategic partners across the healthcare supply chain
ecosystem to help hospitals at the frontlines of the pandemic
facilitate faster, more efficient resolutions to medical supply
imbalances and shortages,” said Bindiya Vakil, CEO and founder of
Resilinc. “We are proud to work with UPS to get critical medical
products and supplies carefully and rapidly deployed to hospitals
where they are needed.”
UPS enables hospitals using Resilinc’s exchange platform to
leverage their existing logistics and transportation infrastructure
and commercial agreements to trade and ship items conveniently and
with confidence. UPS recently joined efforts with the White House
Coronavirus Taskforce, state health agencies and FEMA to provide
supply chain services for the agency's distribution of personal
protective equipment (PPE) and necessary materials throughout the
US, including respirators, N95 masks and gloves for healthcare
workers across the country.
“UPS is pleased to be involved with The Exchange at Resilinc in
providing expedited transportation of supplies to healthcare
facilities,” said Wes Wheeler, President of UPS Healthcare. “We
recently introduced new technology-enabled solutions for critical
healthcare needs to offer improved package tracking, special
handling protocols and enhanced contingency management to ensure
the highest levels of speed, visibility and reliability.”
Through Resilinc’s exchange, all types of hospitals and
frontline healthcare providers experiencing supply shortages can
submit requests for specific items and be matched with peer
organizations who can supply those items. With UPS integrated into
the online exchange program, participants can select UPS for
expedited transportation services, or they can use their carrier of
choice.
Donations of critical supplies by nonprofits or other businesses
are also welcome and will be disbursed through an integrated
donation center within the exchange. Hospitals can also loan
devices to other hospitals through the exchange for temporary use
to increase capacity during regional surges of COVID-19.
