Specimen tracking for courier teams
Specimen tracking for medical couriers — bag IDs, handoff events, and proof of delivery without pretending to be a lab LIS.
Labs track specimens inside the lab. Couriers need something thinner: the bag ID stayed continuous from pickup to delivery, and each handoff is recorded.
Courier tracking ≠ LIS
You are not replacing the laboratory information system. You are proving the transport segment.
