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.
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.
