Client overview
The COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic has changed the way in which many services operate as the challenge to provide medical supplies around the world becomes a focus for many responsible manufacturers and service providers. Wisetek, is a global solution provider for IT Asset Disposition, Reuse & Manufacturing Services and a valuable client & partner to Crane Worldwide in Ireland. Recently, Wisetek handled a shipment of ventilators from China and managed the complete assembly process of parts to complete the finished product in Ireland. Hospitals were in urgent need of the ventilators to support the increased number of victims of the Coronavirus.
Project overview
Once assembly was complete, hospitals needed the ventilators immediately. Wisetek asked Crane Worldwide Logistics to provide responsive final-mile delivery directly to hospital wards throughout Ireland.
The challenge
Around the world, Crane Worldwide Logistics is supporting the Coronavirus pandemic to support medical equipment supply chains.
As soon as the ventilators were fully assembled, Wisetek needed a partner to deliver the product with a sense of urgency to the hospitals throughout Ireland that were lacking essential equipment.
As a one stop shop solution for manufacturing, fulfilment and lifecycle management services, Wisetek approached our Ireland team to partner with them in the final mile delivery of the ventilators as they needed a responsive and flexible partner to ensure deliveries were made on time.
Crane’s response
Our solution
As Ireland began to lock down under the guidance of the Irish government, the critical infrastructure workers in our warehouse and operations in Ireland continued to focus on the important work of distribution and transportation of medical supplies to ensure medical supplies were reaching hospitals on a timely basis. Our dedicated drivers and operations team worked with a sense of urgency to ensure that deliveries were made as soon as the product was fully assembled.
