ASD Healthcare delivers true connected care to patients at home

Case Studies | September 2016

ASD Healthcare is the largest distributor of blood derivatives, nephrology products and other critical specialty pharmaceutical products in the U.S.

Business Need

ASD Healthcare’s Cubixx connected refrigeration solution was initially aimed at larger hospitals and pharmacies, utilising Wi-Fi or local area networks (LAN) for connectivity. With phase two, Cubixx would be rolled out to smaller practices and patients homes. The issue for ASD Healthcare was finding a single connectivity provider to cover the entire U.S., and facilitate international expansion.

Solution

The Vodafone Managed IoT Connectivity Platform provides both the platform and the connectivity to accommodate ASD Healthcare’s global ambitions. It means ASD Healthcare has a single contract to manage with a global supplier, with reliable connectivity worldwide. All SIMs can be activated and monitored from one platform.

Business Benefits

• Ensures a single platform and management to simplify a global roll-out
• Reliable connectivity with consistent pricing
• Secures a relationship with global IoT leader, improving long-term planning

"Vodafone have been great to work with, period. We’re certainly not one of Vodafone’s largest customers, but the service and engagement has been first-class. They’re highly customer-focused."
