Case Study: LabWest improves punctual blood draw planning with PTV Route Optimiser

LabWest thrombosis service plans with PTV Route Optimiser

LabWest, a thrombosis service in the Dutch region of The Hague, needed to plan hundreds of home and outpatient blood-draw visits every day so samples could be collected, analyzed, and dosed on the same day. The company turned to PTV Group and its PTV Route Optimiser to help schedule around 30 tours for 1,100 to 1,200 blood draws per day while keeping staff routes practical and on time.

PTV Group implemented PTV Route Optimiser to validate addresses, combine orders by location, pre-plan capacity, and optimize routes while factoring in time-sensitive hospital visits, working hours, and visit durations. The solution improved route quality, saved time for both planners and field staff, provided better visibility into capacity, and helped ensure employees returned to the office on time each afternoon, supporting more efficient and reliable operations across LabWest’s 600,000 annual blood samples.
