Cardinal Health is committed to working with you to optimize your supply chain. And we are dedicated to optimizing our network and building world-class distribution services. This, ultimately, will give you more time to focus on what matters most – your patients.

We have a simple goal—deliver the right product, in the right amount and on time—to your dock or point of use. Our national network of 40 distribution centers, the national reach of our proprietary transportation system, and our dedicated customer service and field servicing teams, are all equipped with the latest technologies.

Quality Enhanced Distribution Services (QED)

Getting the product to you is only the beginning. We are also heavily focused on making your receipt and putaway processes as easy as possible. With our Quality Enhanced Distribution Services we offer a wide range of options that meet your individual distribution needs—ranging from breaking down pallets on-site to inside delivery to departments.

ValueLink^® Supply Management Services

We want to help you do more with less. By optimizing our industry-leading ValueLink^® program, we’ll help you contain costs, streamline supply flow processes and reduce inventory by providing product in the most logical unit of measure (LUM). This means you only process, handle, store and pay for the amount of inventory needed, when it is needed.

OptiFreight^® Logistics

Our comprehensive freight management solution is designed around your specific shipping needs. We’ll deliver the transparency and custom reporting to successfully track, manage and receive your deliveries. By partnering with us to further build and leverage national scale with carriers, our customers typically realize a freight savings of 30-50 percent.

Consolidated Services

Whether you’re looking to leverage your existing distributor relationship, better standardize purchasing or bring the benefits of distribution to those “traditionally non-distribution products”—Cardinal Health has the expertise to help you find the best solution for your needs. 

Our Consolidated Services offerings are designed to help you:

• Streamline a complex inbound supply chain
• Resolve a congested receipt and putaway process
• Receive the most logical unit of measure on clinician preference items
• Develop a best-in-class method to balance inventory levels across your IDN network of facilities
• Establish a control infrastructure for driving and maintaining standardization
