Over 20 years ago, we trailblazed the foundation of healthcare freight management to help health systems control costs.
Not long after, we realized the industry critically lacked transparency, which hindered the partnerships needed to drive innovation further.
So, we started over as VPL. And this time, we built technology into the foundation of what we do.
Today, our data-centric, technology-driven solutions and consultative customer experience empower health systems and outpatient pharmacies to build smarter, more resilient supply chains.
With over 700 hospitals, 6,000+ suppliers, and a 97% customer retention rate, we’re trusted to deliver transparency, savings, and peace of mind.
