Oct 10, 2023 at 4:21 PMUPS Healthcare now offers Pickup Point locations for laboratory customers in key European healthcare markets, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, and Spain. The increasing demand for rapid clinical trials and the development of new medications, combined with the growing trend towards decentralized and virtual studies, presents unprecedented challenges for clinical laboratory logistics.
(Neuss) Healthcare facilities are often complexly structured, and time-sensitive samples are collected by various clinical departments that are frequently spread across large and diversely structured locations and follow different schedules.
“Given the global challenges in healthcare and the constant focus on individual patient needs, every single shipment is critical. The UPS Pickup Point locations, integrated into our global network, provide our customers with innovative solutions to optimize the reverse logistics for sample shipments to the laboratories. Our customers can continue to rely on UPS Healthcare to meet their demanding logistics requirements so they can focus on their core competencies,” says John Bolla, President of UPS Healthcare.
The unique service among logistics providers in Europe offers a “Many-to-One” solution for reverse logistics, providing pickup confirmation and transparency for time-sensitive shipments. This simplifies business processes in healthcare by reducing the number of pickup points, increasing reliability and control, and optimizing the shipment of samples to a central laboratory.
In combination with the recently expanded UPS® Premier feature, the UPS Pickup Point locations represent another step in ongoing service and technology enhancements to meet the evolving needs of shippers of time-sensitive and temperature-sensitive healthcare products.

By the end of 2023, the company will have more than doubled the footprint of its specialized healthcare facilities since 2020 to provide its customers with faster shipping times and enhanced production flexibility.
