ValueLink® program
Taking the costs out of the supply chain
ValueLink® "stockless" inventory-management services help eliminate the large cost of storing, maintaining and distributing supplies. The ValueLink® program custom designs a system tailored to the needs of individual facilities, partnering with customers to take full advantage of a spectrum of logistics offerings.
The ValueLink® program can streamline inventory management by delivering daily bulk orders or by delivering supplies several times a day on a just-in-time basis from a nearby Cardinal Health distribution center.
Our program channels all supplies through a single system, breaks bulk quantities into required units and can deliver low unit-of-measure orders directly to hospital departments or other points of care. Supply orders are transmitted electronically to the distribution center, and supplies are delivered ready for distribution directly to patient floors.
