Challenges of the Homecare Sector

Most larger homecare devices such as wheel chairs or hospital beds need to be returned, cleaned and reprocessed. Meaning, a proper handling, transportation and separation of used and clean goods is necessary to prevent any contamination between your products. Besides the appropriate appearance on site, convenience for your customer is requisite. This includes the arrangement of flexible delivery appointments, punctual deliveries on site with first class service in regard to installation and usage instructions for homecare devices.

Part of the complexity, the distribution of homecare devices holds, is not only the delivery and installation but also the reprocessing, maintenance and the repair and spare part management of homecare products.

Thorough Fleet Management, a well-integrated back office as well as dedicated drivers and technicians are the foundation for successful homecare devices distribution.
