Why manage direct freight?

  • Freight expenses account for 2-3% of a hospital's direct product supply budget
  • Freight costs increase every year due to rising supply and fuel costs
  • Nearly 60% of all hospital packages are shipped direct from the manufacturer
  • Suppliers add freight costs to the cost of product and pass it on to you

Why manage direct freight with OptiFreight® Logistics?

  • OptiFreight® Logistics looks beyond discounted rates to achieve cost reductions and focuses on driving down the total cost per pack.
  • Many hospitals do not realize how much they spend on freight each year or how much volume they actually ship.
  • The ability to manage these costs can greatly impact a hospital's bottom line.
  • The average cost per pack for a hospital not using a freight management provider is approximately $35-$40
  • With OptiFreight® Logistics, hospitals are able to achieve a cost per pack of less than $20.

What is Cost Per Pack?

Cost Per Pack focuses on the total cost associated with shipping a package from vendor to customer. It is based on the idea that volume drives overall freight savings.

Every package counts

Hospitals receive thousands of small parcels a year and that equals thousands of opportunities to save. With OptiFreight® Logistics unique cost per pack pricing philosophy, customers are able to dramatically cut freight costs and uncover hidden savings.
