Scale Your Delivery Operations Without Adding More Dispatchers
Stop losing $200 'stat' deliveries to missed calls. Automate your order intake, route optimization, and proof of delivery workflows with Read Laboratories.
In the courier industry, profit is a game of volume and precision. With standard deliveries fetching $15-$50 and high-priority 'stat' deliveries ranging from $50 to $200, a single missed dispatch call or a 15-minute delay in route planning directly erodes your bottom line. Most courier businesses struggle with the 'dispatch ceiling'—the point where adding more drivers requires adding more expensive office staff just to handle the coordination of Onfleet or DispatchTrack tickets.
Read Laboratories specializes in bridging the gap between order intake and driver execution. We eliminate the manual data entry that occurs when a client emails a PDF manifest or calls in an urgent medical pickup. By automating the chain of custody and real-time status updates, we ensure your business remains compliant with DOT and HIPAA regulations while maintaining 99% SLA adherence without the overhead of a massive dispatch team.
Problems We Solve
Manual Dispatch Bottlenecks
Stop manually copy-pasting order details from client emails into Tookan or Track-POD. We automate the extraction of pickup/drop-off data to get drivers moving instantly.
SLA Violations on Rush Orders
Missing a 2-hour window for a medical specimen can cost you a contract. Our systems provide automated 'at-risk' alerts before an SLA is breached.
Proof of Delivery (POD) Gaps
Drivers often forget to upload signatures or photos. We implement automated triggers that prevent a driver from closing a task until all compliance photos are verified by AI.
Invoicing Delays
Waiting until the end of the week to bill for deliveries kills cash flow. We automate invoice generation in QuickBooks or Xero the moment the POD is uploaded.
Customer Status Inquiries
Reduce 'Where is my package?' calls by 70% with automated SMS and email sequences that provide real-time tracking links to your customers.
What You Get
AI Manifest Processing
Automatically ingest bulk delivery spreadsheets or PDFs and sync them directly to Bringg or Onfleet APIs.
HIPAA Chain of Custody
Automated audit trails for medical couriers, ensuring every hand-off is timestamped and geo-tagged for compliance.
Dynamic Route Re-optimization
Automatically re-route drivers based on incoming high-priority 'stat' requests to minimize deadhead miles.
Automated Driver Onboarding
Streamline the collection of DOT documentation, insurance, and vehicle inspections via automated mobile workflows.
Real-time SLA Dashboard
A live view of all active deliveries with color-coded urgency based on remaining time-to-delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you integrate with our existing dispatch software?
Yes, we specialize in building custom connectors for Onfleet, Tookan, Track-POD, and Bringg to sync your order sources and accounting software.
How do you handle HIPAA compliance for medical deliveries?
We ensure all automated data transfers are encrypted and that no PHI is stored in insecure logs. We can also automate the collection of specific HIPAA-required handoff signatures.
Will this work for a fleet of only 5-10 drivers?
Absolutely. Automation is often more critical for smaller fleets because it allows the owner to stay in the field or focus on sales rather than being tethered to a dispatch desk.
Can you automate the billing for extra fees like fuel surcharges or wait time?
Yes, we can build logic that detects driver wait times via GPS geofencing and automatically adds the appropriate accessorial charges to the final invoice.
How long does the setup take?
Most courier workflow automations are fully operational within 3 to 5 weeks, including testing and driver training sessions.
