Problem

The challenge

Previous courier mix delivered inconsistent ETAs. Patients called stores asking where prescriptions were. Peak afternoon volume overwhelmed ad-hoc drivers.

Solution

How Last Mile Express helped

Last Mile Express built recurring afternoon routes from two dispensary locations, with patient SMS updates, photo proof, and a named dispatcher for exceptions.
