Job sites across the country are reopening, but day-to-day operations may never be the same. From further emphasizing job site safety to experiencing longer project delivery times, the construction and trades industry has been significantly altered by the global pandemic. According to an online survey conducted by the Associated General Contractors of America, 28% of all respondents have had a current or upcoming project delayed, and 22% of members have had suppliers notify them that deliveries would be late or canceled. In response to these widespread challenges, PartRunner has adapted to the COVID-19 pandemic so that we can continue to provide a safe and simple way to get your inventory where it needs to be quickly and cost-effectively.
COVID-19 Update
To help businesses in these challenging times, PartRunner has made the health and safety of our PartRunners (drivers), suppliers, and customers the highest priority. By equipping all PartRunners with sanitizing equipment and full personal protective equipment (PPE), including masks and gloves, we are committed to making sure all of our deliveries are completed in the safest way possible. By communicating directly with the drivers, customers can feel confident in our no-contact delivery solutions. Additionally, every member of the PartRunner team follows the recommended CDC guidelines, including proper social distancing, so customers can feel safe and confident in our scheduled, same-day, and OnDemand delivery services. Furthermore, since the beginning of the pandemic, PartRunner has opened its services to medical suppliers and distributors, charitable and relief organizations, food banks, state and local agencies, and all other essential businesses in need of delivery help.

Adapting to eCommerce and Touchless Payment
To further stop the spread of COVID-19, all delivery payments can now be made virtually through our mobile and desktop applications.

Through Stripe, one of the most secure, online payment gateways, all customers can now pay for their deliveries using our desktop and mobile applications. Additionally, we have created PartRunner Wallet, a new feature that stores all credit for your company account, which can be used for future deliveries placed with PartRunner. Also, any type of reimbursement you receive is added to the PartRunner Wallet, and all credit is non-expiring.
