VPL and Capstone Health Alliance Partner to Deliver Guaranteed Freight Savings to Hospitals and Health Systems

Partnership extends VPL’s proven freight management platform to Capstone members, delivering contractually guaranteed savings and unmatched supply chain visibility. 

COLUMBUS, OH – OCTOBER 1, 2026 – VPL, a leading healthcare logistics technology company, today announced a strategic partnership with Capstone Health Alliance, one of the nation’s premier healthcare group purchasing organizations (GPOs). Under the agreement, Capstone member hospitals, health systems and non-acute facilities gain immediate access to VPL's freight management solution, backed by a contractual guarantee of a minimum 15% savings on managed freight spend, through a platform that combines inbound freight management, outbound shipping, real-time tracking and analytics.

Healthcare organizations today face mounting pressure to control costs but often lack the tools, visibility and operational capacity to do so effectively. Most freight management programs compound the problem by embedding hidden markups that grow as shipping costs rise. VPL was built to change that, combining transparent pricing with dedicated account management and purpose-built technology that gives supply chain teams real visibility, control and results.  

“Capstone Health Alliance members deserve a freight management partner that stands behind its results. VPL was built on a simple premise: transparent pricing, technology that works, and savings you can count on. We look forward to bringing that commitment to Capstone members nationwide,” said Brad Sheely, VPL’s GM of Supply Chain Solutions. 

“Capstone is excited to partner with VPL through this new contract opportunity,” offered Tabitha Calloway, Capstone’s Vice President of Contracting. “VPL offers a comprehensive freight management solution designed to provide our members with seamless, end-to-end coverage for their transportation and logistics needs.” 

With hundreds of health system clients, VPL has built its reputation on doing exactly what it promises. This partnership adds Capstone Health Alliance to a growing list of strategic relationships that reflect VPL’s position as the supply chain platform of choice.
