Information services
Our suppliers have access to one of the most sophisticated information
systems available in health care today. We conduct more than 90 percent
of supplier transactions electronically via EDI or through the Internet,
resulting in streamlined communication and reduced costs across our
network. Additionally, in 1998 we completed a $100 million implementation
of an SAP R/3® system so customers, Cardinal Health employees
and suppliers all share one source of information to track purchases
and inventory, measure fill rates, integrate order entry and guide
management activities.
Our entelligence Internet-based tool delivers the benefits of this
integration of information to suppliers through cardinal.com. It offers
targeted decision support designed to help increase sales, reduce
costs and improve supply-channel efficiencies. Through entelligence,
you can gain a better understanding of your customers, identify key
target areas for sales growth and review service levels, trace sales,
backorders, and inventory issues.
Our world-class technology infrastructure is one key way we're delivering
products and services faster and more efficiently, thereby benefiting
our customers, our suppliers and our business.
