Medico-social transport: an often complex logistical daily routine

Before even thinking about equipping yourself, you have to look reality in the face: organizing medico-social trips is enormously mobilizing of time, energy and coordination.

In many structures, the organization still relies on a combination of makeshift tools. A paper schedule here, an Excel file there, calls or SMS to adjust at the last minute.

This operation, although creative, ends up showing its limits:

• Trips are often planned on a case-by-case basis, with no real overview.
• Empty trips back and forth are not always avoidable, due to the lack of a sharing tool.
• Exchanges between coordinators, drivers and establishments are fragmented.
• Last-minute absences or cancellations create cascading disruptions.
• It's becoming difficult to keep track of kilometers driven, actual costs, or occupancy rates.
  
  

Consequence: a fragile, sometimes ineffective organization that relies heavily on people. And in case of absence, everything can go wrong.
