The umbilical cord blood bank VITA 34 receives highly delicate deliveries from over 800 German and Austrian maternity clinics more than 70 times a week. To ensure flawless transportation at all times, the German Medical Association has established clear guidelines: within 24 hours after collection, the umbilical cord blood must be delivered to the processing laboratory with a temperature of minimum 18 °C and maxium 26 °C. In order to meet these high standards, VITA 34 relies on the transport solutions of time:matters.
In collaboration with its partner Der Kurier, time:matters has developed a customized transport concept that is geared towards the needs of VITA 34. Thus, all domestic German deliveries are carried out sameday by German National Railways (ic:courier). Coverage throughout Germany includes more than 140 German train stations – through which InterCityExpress, EuroCity and Inter -City trains pass – and ensures fast as well as reliable sameday transportation.
time:matters ships the deliveries from Austria by air, which arrive at the laboratory in Leipzig within only four to six hours.
For transportation needs, the experts for sameday and emergency logistics have access to a far-reaching network of experienced logistics partners. Shipments from time:matters always have loading priority. VITA 34 therefore gains valuable time and saves cash. The reliable and safe logistics concept pays off: in terms of increased customer confidence and a decisive competitive advantage.
