The Healthcare Program

Provides 100% pricing transparency and lowest carrier (FedEx or UPS) rates available to Not For Profit hospital systems like yours with a guaranteed 30% to 35% cost reduction opportunity.

 

HEALTHCARE LOGISTICS

TranzAct Healthcare meets the unique demands of your industry, allowing you to focus on patient care.

If your Not-for-Profit hospital system is under a GPO/3PL FedEx or UPS carrier discount agreement, you really don’t know what your incumbent 3PL is charging you in relation to the services they are providing and the margin on your account. We have found their margins to average 25% to 30% and in some cases more. With Tranzact Healthcare our carrier pricing and fees are 100% transparent.

To validate our claim of 30% to 35% carrier cost reduction, we offer a no cost or obligation cost analysis. All we need is a representative shipment file and we will do a shipment-by-shipment comparison. The fields we require are very close to the detailed billing file you receive each week.

In addition to our pricing advantage, TranzAct Healthcare provides all the services you require and more

Mode Optimization 

Most talked about, most often underachieved

Tranzact Healthcare’s clinical process to reduce our hospital customer’s inbound supplier freight costs through Mode Optimization is a very detailed approach and one we have found the other 3PLs do not perform.

We start with the Top 10 Suppliers that are shipping AIR (NDA, STD and 2 Day) and what the annual amount this is costing our customer.

We ask the Purchasing Department to generate a PAR level report for each one of the 10 suppliers under review. We want to know how many shelf days they have before the product needs to be replenished.

Where you have a sufficient PAR level for 3 to 5 days, we do an AIR versus GROUND cost comparison to show the dramatic difference in cost; on average 50% to 60% less.

We continue this process until we are satisfied and we have maximized the Mode Optimization opportunity with every supplier where you have a sufficient PAR level to ship GROUND lieu of AIR.

Vendor Compliance Optimization for Hospitals

Adding and Deleting Suppliers from the 3PL Managed Program

Reduce unnecessary freight costs by ensuring only cost-effective, compliant suppliers are part of your hospital's 3PL-managed program. Our Vendor Compliance Optimization Service identifies which suppliers should be added for savings and which should be removed due to inflated shipping costs. We help hospitals optimize supply chain expenses, improve vendor compliance, and negotiate better terms.

Adding Suppliers

Many suppliers still charge freight unnecessarily. We:

  1. Analyze supplier invoices – Identify vendors still billing freight.
  2. Compare costs – Benchmark supplier rates against your 3PL’s pricing.
  3. Assess compliance barriers – Determine why suppliers resist compliance.
  4. Negotiate better terms – Leverage cost savings and alternative suppliers.

Deleting Suppliers

Some suppliers in your 3PL program may now be more expensive than sourcing directly. We:

  1. Review 3PL vendor costs – Identify the highest freight charges.
  2. Compare alternative rates – See if supplier-direct shipping is cheaper.
  3. Adjust the vendor list – Remove costly suppliers for greater savings.

Hospitals lose millions annually to non-compliant suppliers. Let us help you cut costs and optimize freight management today.

LTL & Truckload

While LTL and TL are typically number three in a hospital systems' freight cost (excluding non-acute care), it is still a cost to be concerned about and have in place the very best service and cost provider in this category. You will learn more why Tranzact is unquestionably your best choice for LTL and TL best pricing.

Tranzact, as a company, has a 40+ year experience in managing LTL and TL freight programs that no other hospital service provider 3PL can match.

FedEx & UPS Recovery Project

Full-Scale Outsourcing for Maximum Savings

We conduct comprehensive independent audits of direct FedEx and UPS spending to uncover overcharges, billing errors, and misapplied discount tiers. Many hospitals unknowingly have multiple FedEx or UPS direct accounts with little or no discounts, leading to unnecessary expenses.

Our Freight Audit & Payment (FA&P) services ensure:

  • All shipments are correctly billed
  • The hospital is placed on the appropriate GPO/3PL discount tier
  • Any billing discrepancies or accessorial fee errors are identified and recovered

Instead of managing this internally, outsourcing it to us ensures that savings are captured and maintained consistently.
