Supply Chain Analytics

Consorta's Supply Chain Analytics program offers Consorta and its members increased transparency into their supply chain operations in order to enhance decision making, improve contract compliance, and maximize the value of the Consorta contract portfolio.

Various industry studies reveal that:

  • Over $40B/year sales lost due to supply chain information inefficiencies
  • 35% of all procurement transactions have errors that require re-work
  • 80% of errors directly related to inaccurate product information
  • 40% of the time hospitals pay a different price for the same product
  • And pay 2-7% above the eligible contract price
  • 70% of hospital supply spend is unclassified or misclassified

Consorta's Supply Chain Analytics program assists its members in addressing these challenges. Members participating in the program submit their spend data, from single or multiple facilities, to Consorta where the data is normalized, standardized, and aggregated; transforming data that is disparate and inconsistent into actionable information enabling:

  • Price Auditing - PO to Invoice, Invoice to Contract and recovery of overcharges
  • Price Leveling - achieving single price-point within and across a hospital/IDN
  • Tier Maximization - ensuring maximum contract value is achieved based on usage/compliance requirements
  • Product Conversion/Standardization - ensuring use of contract portfolio is maximized
  • Portfolio Expansion - expanding contract coverage/penetration driving additional savings

By rendering spend data in a more usable and actionable state, Consorta can assist its members in meeting their goals of reducing supply chain costs.
