While standard, “off-the-shelf” medical carts work well for some applications, they certainly don’t work for all. Yes, they can be a cost effective option, but rather than trying to adapt your unique application to a standard cart, why not develop a custom cart that can perfectly fit all the unique needs of your application?
Concepts, Not Compromises
Plain and simple: a custom solution is designed around all your specific equipment, so there are no headaches when trying to figure out if your product can fit on that standard cart or concessions that may affect the usefulness of your application.
A custom cart design starts with what HUI calls a discovery meeting. In this collaborative meeting your marketing team and HUI’s experts discuss the needs related to the features and functions of your specific application, including:
- Equipment specifications
- Usage environment
- Target price
- Annual volume
- List of must-have and nice-to-have features
- What sets it apart from your competitors
HUI’s design team then works to develop a cart concept that fits all your specific needs while staying within budget. Keep in mind, however, that your team’s active and timely participation throughout the concept process is critical to getting to the cart you need.
Consider Delivery Timing
You might be thinking that a custom cart will take considerably longer to develop and deliver than just using a standard cart. Consider, however, that delivery for a standard cart solution has the potential to take a significant about of time, especially for orders shipped from overseas. These types of orders can frequently take 12-14 weeks, or more, to arrive. HUI can be ready in 11-13 weeks—from concept to production—for a custom medical cart that is shipped within the United States.
So you won’t really be waiting any longer to receive a custom final product than if you ordered that off-the-shelf option from overseas. Check out this short video to see how we do it.
If you're looking for complete customization, you can also include your name, image or logo on the cart. We’ll discuss that in more detail in the next post of our “Five Benefits of a Custom Medical Cart Solution” series.
