Do they have the tools they need to make a great impression? A mobile delivery solution, like TIMS *Delivery*, can help your team make deliveries painless for patients and goes a long way toward turning them into loyal, long-term customers. Here's how: **Accurate Arrival Times:  **When you use a routing and delivery solution like TIMS *Delivery*, customer service representatives are able to provide customers with a more accurate estimated time of arrival. CSRs and team leaders can make better predictions, and know the status of a driver at a specific point in time. This improved transparency also provides a line of communication between drivers and schedulers, so they're better able to adapt to last-minute needs like new, urgent delivery requests and route changes. Plus, more accurate planning means that when a technician arrives at the patient's home, they'll be able to provide set up and training, if needed, without worrying that they're late for their next stop.** ** ![TIMS-Delivery-Customer-Driver-Experience-Portrait-Cropped](https://www.cu.net/hs-fs/hubfs/email/weekly/MED%20Email%20Images/TIMS-Delivery-Customer-Driver-Experience-Portrait-Cropped.jpg?width=300&name=TIMS-Delivery-Customer-Driver-Experience-Portrait-Cropped.jpg)**Ability to Update Orders:  **Say you arrive at a customer's home and they want to add a few extra cannulas or a new CPAP filter to their order. In the past, you may have had to call the office or check through all of your planned deliveries to make sure you had enough extra stock on the truck. With TIMS *Delivery*, you have access to stock levels and pricing, and the ability to record serial and lot numbers, update the order on-site, and re-calculate costs. There's no risk of having to head back to a restocking location to pick up a new ticket or load more product because you sold product promised to someone else. **Tools to Collect Payment at POS:**  With TIMS *Delivery, *the point of delivery can become the point of sale. Drivers and technicians can collect credit card payments, print and email customer receipts (using [Zebra® Bluetooth printers](https://www.zebra.com/us/en.html)), and automatically upload a copy of that receipt to TIMS *Imaging. *Customers don't have to wait for a bill in the mail and you, the provider, know you're more likely to get paid if you're paid upon delivery. **A Paperless ****Environment:  **This one may be more of a convenience for the driver than the patient, but we think it's big enough to list here. No more missing delivery tickets or forgotten signature lines because everything can be handled electronically! Integrated forms and task lists ensure that the required information and signatures are collected. Plus, documents are automatically submitted into the TIMS system so the billing team can begin the claims submission process quickly, reducing DSO. ![TeD_Route_Deliver_Pay](https://www.cu.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Archive/TeD/TeD_Route_Deliver_Pay.png?width=600&name=TeD_Route_Deliver_Pay.png) If you think your patients will appreciate a more streamlined delivery experience, with better accuracy and adaptability, now is the time to consider adding TIMS *Delivery *to your tool set.
