Specialization in Delivering Technology
As the world becomes more and more dependent on technology, increasing areas of specialization are developing. These adjustments have appeared in the logistics industry. Delivering goods has become a compartmentalized service with many areas of specialty. Because handling, delivering, and installing complicated and fragile equipment requires skill and experience. Some operations are so specialized that the logistical agents often know more about the installation and requirements of the machinery than the sales representatives. Several companies have created departments to create better service for these niche products. Here is a look at some of the industries that rely on white glove tech delivery.
Medical Equipment
Modern hospitals seem to have enough high tech equipment to launch a satellite. And while that is good news for the patients when they have complex health issues. It does create a lot of need for high-tech specialization. Complete technical installation requires a lot of planning and experience. Even the architecture and engineering of the room need to be considered and are often custom-built to suit the needs of complex machinery. Companies like Rhenus High Tech have built teams with unique skills and qualifications to facilitate these types of logistical challenges.
Fitness Equipment
Even the latest gym equipment has become so technical that its installation requires specific knowledge. Like some of the latest VR enhanced exercise equipment or downhill ski simulators. Logistics companies do sometimes specialize in fitness equipment delivery. They can get you set up quickly, so you can focus on your pecs instead of searching for specialized tools.
Data Centres
Data centres can be intensely complicated. There is an amount of engineering that goes into deciding what kind of equipment to use and the venue’s capabilities. Then there are the concerns of fire, electrical, and data safety. Quite often, a data centre will resemble a cleanroom environment. Delicate environments are not a good place for general-purpose delivery people. Even installing and activating mobile data centres requires a lot of knowledge and experience.
Banking and Cash Machines
Banks have also become very dependent on technology. ATM’s are something that we are all familiar with. Installing and replacing the world’s millions of ATM’s is now an industry of its own. Banks also have a lot of computer equipment that needs to be secure and redundant. When there is a problem, the equipment should be swappable and without losing data security. Logistical people specializing in Banking need to be knowledgeable and have security clearance as well. White glove delivery companies do drug and background checks to ensure that their employees are trustworthy and reliable.
In all these cases, the development of final mile delivery services and white-glove logistics has made receiving high-tech equipment much more predictable and reliable. When high-tech equipment needs installation, the logistics company will often receive the equipment at their facility and then prepare the equipment for delivery and installation—using their experts and specialized tools. Tech suppliers may even have a dedicated logistic department, in the case of equipment being so unique that representatives of the manufacturer can only do the oversight.
