When reviewing your Ambulatory Surgery Center’s (ASC’s) costs, make it a priority to look for freight management savings opportunities.
Freight costs can be measured and managed with the data analytics tools of a freight management program. To monitor ongoing performance, track such key metrics as shipping rates, shipping modes and handling fees.
Through mode optimization, a freight management program can identify ways to ship at a lower cost, without impacting delivery timing. Depending on where suppliers are located, ASCs could even receive supplies via ground shipping vs. priority overnight, at a fraction of the cost.
