Philadelphia and Westerville, OH – September 8, 2022 – LLR Partners today announced a significant growth investment in Vantage Point Logistics (“VPL”), a supply chain management software provider that helps healthcare organizations improve resiliency and visibility of clinical supply chains. The capital will be used to support VPL’s continued product innovation and organic growth along with the exploration of strategic acquisitions. VPL’s current institutional investors, Radian Capital and Tamarind Hill, remain minority shareholders in the business.
“VPL has developed an innovative platform of supply chain solutions for health systems, specialty pharmacies and surgery centers bringing efficiency and cost savings to these organizations,” said Zack Sigal, Partner at LLR. “Provider consolidation, shifts in site of care and heightened focus on expense management have caused healthcare organizations to increasingly adopt technology solutions to drive clinical efficiency and savings. We’re excited to partner with VPL as they support more healthcare organizations to deliver more efficient care.”
VPL’s platform enables coordination and collaboration between healthcare suppliers, providers, and patients through its inbound freight (Surpass), outbound shipping (Traject and TrajectRx), track and trace visibility (View) and enhanced analytics (Percept) solutions. Today, the platform manages more than 6,000 suppliers across all facets of healthcare, including IDNs, critical access, outpatient, and pharmacy.
