With $3 billion in goods and services purchased annually under our contracts and agreements with over 900 suppliers, Avendra brings a unique depth and breadth of contracting experience to the table. Our scale allows us to deliver not only great prices, but supreme service levels and advanced quality assurance – creating an unbeatable value for our customers.
Our contracting approach is rigorous and extensive. We compare the capabilities of products and suppliers on the most granular level in order to find the right combination of factors that equal success. We start with customer needs and then look to identify products and suppliers that may work. Oftentimes, we work with manufacturers to create proprietary products for us. We work at a level of detail that is not found elsewhere - including contracted indemnification requirements and service metrics, such as fill rates, so our customers are free to focus their efforts on more strategic parts of their business.
Our relationships extend far back in the supply chain. In each case, we seek to manage as much of the product lifecycle and supply chain as possible. This comprehensive approach allows us to control both the integrity of the product and ensure it is available to our customers in the most cost effective manner.
