Advantus Health Partners has aligned with Cardinal Health OptiFreight® Logistics to give Advantus GPO members greater visibility into health care shipping and logistics. The program generates approximately $700 million in savings each year for current customers and is expected to deliver thousands more in savings for clients of Advantus through this expansion.
Expanding Freight Shipping Program Benefits
Advantus clients can better anticipate health care supply chain logistics and optimize freight delivery through the OptiFreight® Logistics program, including:
- TotalVue™ Insights: Uncover inefficiencies and optimize delivery with data-driven insights. The cloud-based platform’s simple design offers deep insight. An algorithm compares facility type, range of average distance shipped, and average package weight to reduce shipping costs.
- OptiFreight® Logistics Knowledge Hub: Use tools and resources to help navigate complex supply chain dynamics.
- Cost-savings opportunities: Combine competitive shipping rates, the committed experts at OptiFreight® Logistics, and access to additional discounts and savings for Advantus to drive ongoing value in logistics strategy.
Strategic Health Care Supply Chain Vendor Alignment
“We select our vendor relationships to give Advantus clients access to top-tier services and solutions,” said John Wright, chief operating officer of Advantus Health Partners. “With Cardinal Health as a strategic vendor, we’re strengthening data-driven decision making.”
Advantus chooses strategic vendor contracts that provide sustained value. This selective approach builds a vendor model in which all parties are accountable for contributing to financial sustainability and patient outcomes in health care supply chain.
