Rosie Blair, Senior Account Executive for Higher Education at Amazon, recently visited the UCSF Supply Chain Management (SCM) Logistics facility at Oyster Point on Tuesday, October 29. Blair was welcomed and given a tour of the warehouse by a couple members of the Logistics leadership team Mel Maxwell and Charles Sabia. The group was joined by SCMers Justin Sullivan, Lian Sussmann, Leslie Siegmund, David Grubbe, Andrew Alcazar, Rene Tanjuakio, and Lucky Corral.

The visit focused on enhancing the Amazon Business experience for UCSF. One key topic was the use of Dedicated Delivery by SCM Logistics, a service that provides more efficient and reliable deliveries for applicable orders. The service is expected to reduce delivery-related issues and minimize truck traffic on and around campus locations.

Since program implementation on September 3, approximately 1,200 Amazon Business packages per month have been delivered to Oyster Point by Amazon’s clean-fuel compressed natural gas vehicle.  From there, SCM Logistics has provided reliable, same-day, last mile delivery to UCSF customers, campus wide.  The addition of Amazon Business packages has meant a 15 percent increase in SCM Logistics package delivery volume—with zero added vehicle trips.

SCM encourages all shoppers to select the "FREE Dedicated Delivery" option when checking out of the Amazon Business portal for safe and secure delivery of packages.
