Artery brings dispatch, mapping, rider apps, signatures, rotas and reporting together — so your controllers spend less time juggling tools and more time getting vital deliveries where they need to be.
Pick a pickup and destination and Artery draws the route and generates the job in seconds. Rider markers give controllers an at-a-glance picture of who's on what, so a busy shift is easy to read at a glance.
The rider markers are a visual aid to help controllers visualise jobs — Artery doesn't depend on third-party GPS trackers, so any group can use it whatever vehicle kit they have.
Riders just pick their name to see their assigned job, tap to navigate to pickup and drop-off, and capture a signature at each handover. No clutter, no confusion — designed for a glance at the roadside.
Critical cargo deserves proof. Artery captures a digital signature at pickup and delivery, names the person who handed over and received, and timestamps the lot — printable as a clean report whenever you need it.
A clean week-at-a-time planner you page through up to four weeks ahead. Each day has a controllers strip on top and six 4-hour blocks beneath it covering the full 24 hours. Tap a block, pick a name, choose rider or driver — booked instantly. No more typing start and end times.
Manage volunteers, controllers and locations in one place — roles, PINs, next-of-kin, home coordinates, what3words and multi-department sites. Bulk import from CSV.
Every completed shift is archived on the server. Filter by 7 days, a fortnight, a month or all time, search by ref, rider or location, and export the lot.
One tap produces a plain-text snapshot of the entire operation — who's where, what's en route — ready to copy into a handover note or message.
Pickup-to-drop-off routing with real distances and mileage totals captured against every job for accurate reporting and reimbursement.
Rider, driver, controller and admin roles with sensible permissions, admin-managed PINs with a one-click reset, and a recoverable main admin account.
Hospitals, surgeries and community sites grouped by region — with sub-departments like Pathology or Maternity pinned to their own coordinates.
This is software for a service where downtime isn't an inconvenience — it's a risk to patients. So Artery is engineered to stay up, stay current, and keep every byte of your history safe.
Improvements ship continuously with barely any interruption. Your control room stays live while Artery gets better underneath it.
Updates roll out regularly and on a predictable cadence — never a surprise. You'll always know what's changing and when, well ahead of time.
Past analytics and jobs in progress are protected through every update. Nothing in flight is dropped; nothing in the archive is ever lost.
Artery handles real people's medical logistics, so security isn't an afterthought. It's wired through every layer, from how passwords are stored to what a browser is ever allowed to see. Here's what sets it apart.
Controller and admin passwords are saved only as one-way SHA-256 hashes. Even with the files in hand, the real passwords can't be read back.
Rider PINs are stripped from everything the browser receives — never exposed in the page or over the network. Every PIN check happens server-side.
Each sign-in gets a random session token, carried in an HttpOnly, SameSite-strict cookie and timed out after inactivity. Privileged actions are refused without it.
Only a strict whitelist of file types is ever served; the raw data files are unreachable and path-traversal tricks are blocked. The data feed is a sanitised view only.
The main admin account can't be deleted or have its password changed by anyone else — a deliberate safeguard so a group can never be locked out or hijacked.
Deployments push code only — never your data. Volunteers, jobs, signatures and history can't be overwritten by an update. Nothing is ever lost.
And it all runs over HTTPS with auto-renewing certificates, while every secret key is kept out of the code in a protected environment file — the basics done properly, so the important things stay safe.

Months of work. Real shifts behind it. Built for the people who ride.
Artery wasn't bought off a shelf or bolted together from templates. It's been written by Chris Finch over many months — feature by feature, shift by shift — with the realities of a working blood bike operation shaping every decision.
And it's never "finished". Improvements land regularly, on a steady and predictable schedule, with plenty of notice and barely any downtime. The mission is simple: give controllers and riders a tool that just works when it matters most — and keep making it better.
If your charity moves blood, samples, milk, medication or anything where the clock is running — let's talk. Register your interest and we'll walk you through Artery.
