Global Connections
MedGogo’s specializes in the unique shipping needs of Healthcare & life sciences, Medical Devices, and Biological Reagents. Through our Proven Process, we learn about the nature of your shipments including pickup and delivery details, temperature requirements, and international paperwork requirements to provide a solution that fits your needs.
With any shipment through MedGogo our team monitors, tracks and troubleshoots any issues, watching over your shipment until final delivery. MedGogo offers GPS trackers for clients who want to watch exactly where their shipment is at all times.
Many Healthcare & Life Sciences companies use our validated shippers to ensure their shipments remain within a specific temperature range. At any time, our clients can get in touch with our experienced team to go over any of these topics.
Examples
-
MedGogo stocks several sizes of validated thermal shippers. We make this typically complicated process simple through our advice and guidance narrowing down, through our experience, to the shippers you are most likely to use.
-
For clients shipping priceless and irreplaceable materials, we can arrive at your location with a validated thermal box, dry ice, GPS tracker, and a temperature monitor through our Specialty Cold Chain service. Our team will be monitoring the GPS location at all times and you’ll receive a link to do so yourself. Some of our hardware and medical device clients find the GPS trackers useful to receive a higher level of visibility to watch their shipments as they move.

Tradeshows are planned, sometimes, years in advance and are very expensive. If a booth is not delivered prior to the show acceptance, all of that time and money spent is lost. Very large booths are shipped, sometimes along with an actual instrument or device. These oversized, larger pieces need to go through a Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) carrier or through Air Freight. Choosing the best shipping option can be challenging and is an area where our team excels. That’s why clients rely on MedGogo for their trade show shipments, we understand what is required and carefully review the details including in the Tradeshow Material Handling Agreement.

Many of our clients have delicate, time-sensitive shipments that require delivery to a specific floor within a hospital or university. Often they ask us to deliver to a specific floor that only has stair access. With limited access, hospitals sometimes don't have the space to store package crates during a multi-week demo, so we arrange nearby storage. At the delivery suite, we uncrate the instrument and handle storing of the crate in a nearby warehouse or dispose of the crate.
