"Transportation time is really critical for sample stability. It's critical that patient samples get back to the lab in a timely manner, and UPS does that for us each and every day."
The Challenge
Cologuard allows patients to screen for colorectal cancer in the privacy of their own home. However, for the screening test to work on a large scale, Exact Sciences needed home healthcare solutions to distribute tests to residential addresses and make specimen transport easy and quick.
The Solution
By leveraging UPS's existing network and returns portfolio and creating a long-term partnership with UPS Healthcare, Exact Sciences was able to effectively scale their logistics as they grew.
The Results
Since 2014, when Exact Sciences launched Cologuard, they have completed over 7.5 million results.
