Supply Chain Tip of the Week: Reduce shipping costs on large freight

Find savings opportunities for your Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) in your shipping costs by reviewing your large freight options.

For large freight over 150 pounds, reduce your shipping costs on freight opportunities that are often half the cost when suppliers outsource the best carrier. This also includes overlooked freight, including leased equipment, bulk orders of consumable goods, transfers of large items between facilities, copiers/printers/paper, tradeshow materials and more. Reduce shipping costs on large freight that didn’t ship through your program; allow your outsourced freight manager to work directly with carriers to lower these charges.

To find even more savings the shipping costs for your surgery center, use Cardinal Health’s no-cost freight management program. Direct shipments, especially overnight deliveries, often come at a hefty freight expense that’s typically higher than the market average. You can reduce your operating expenses at no cost and without impacting your patients. Learn more here.
