Medical freight fails on gaps, not miles
A missed temperature window, an undocumented handoff, or an unvetted courier can invalidate a specimen run or expose a compliance gap. Healthcare and pharma logistics need carriers who are matched to cold-chain capability, jobs that capture lot and batch data, and a record that survives an audit — not a status emoji in a text thread.
Platform approach
How Shipmater runs medical moves
Post with handling requirements that filter the field. Contracted pools keep approved vendors only. Every stop can log temperature context, photos, and GPS. When the run closes, you export a chain-of-custody record tied to a verified carrier — not an anonymous phone number.
Built for this industry
Cold-chain matching
Jobs that require refrigerated handling only surface to carriers with the right equipment profile. Non-compliant bidders stay out of the pool.
Lot and batch fields
Capture pharmaceutical identifiers on the job so traceability lives with the shipment record, not in a side spreadsheet.
Photo + GPS custody
Pickup and delivery evidence with timestamps and location creates an auditable handoff history for compliance and insurance.
Approved vendor pools
Contracted carrier lists keep sensitive lanes off the open market when your compliance policy requires a closed network.
Exportable audit trail
Shipment history, evidence, and status changes stay attached to the job for regulatory review and internal QA.
Time-critical dispatch
Post with arrival windows and live tracking so labs, clinics, and pharmacies see the same ETA as your ops team.
Example run
A biotech lab ships temperature-sensitive samples before clinic open
Job posted — cold chain required, arrival by 7:00am
Contracted refrigerated carrier confirmed
Pickup photos + temp logged · GPS custody starts
En route · live ETA shared with receiving lab
Delivered · POD + lot verified · record closed
Cold chain held · Full custody record exported
What you leave with
Outcomes that stick to the record
- Only refrigerated-capable carriers see the job
- Temperature and photo evidence at both ends
- GPS chain of custody exportable for audit
- Approved vendors via contracted pools
