A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
A NEW APPROACH TO HEALTHCARE
Through its proprietary “ESG Vendor-Direct Partnership” model, 11 Crossings has developed a new approach to vendor collaboration that provides health care organizations with complete oversight over the market conditions, costs, quality control, and the social/environmental footprint of their medical device supply chains. In contrast to the common practice of large medical device distributors to mandate price increases when market conditions deteriorate, but never extend discounts when market conditions improve, this new collaboration model developed by 11 Crossings creates a real 2-way partnership based on objective, verifiable index benchmarks. The ESG Vendor-Direct Partnership model also provides a solution to a common pain point for many health care organizations, namely, short notice periods prior to contract changes. Because the 11 Crossings model provides health care organizations with monthly visibility into all key supply chain costs, participants enjoy flexible review periods to consider and prepare for any supply contract change requests at pre-scheduled review intervals.
SUPPLY CHAIN RESILIENCY
The Covid-19 pandemic dramatically highlighted the risks of not having sufficient supply chain diversity and relying too much on manufacturers in a single jurisdiction. To protect affordability and supply chain stability, 11 Crossings promotes developing relationships with manufacturers located in countries that have low potential for future geo-political conflicts, negative headline risks, and supply chain shocks. Even in exceptionally challenging logistical environments (such as during the Covid-19 pandemic), the founders of 11 Crossings successfully delivered hundreds of millions of medical gloves to some of the largest public healthcare organizations across North America. With a 5-star customer service rating, zero product recalls, and an “Exceptional” vendor score in the US Federal Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (“CPARS”), the 11 Crossings’ team has the experience and ability to enhance the resiliency of your nitrile glove supply chain while saving you money.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
In the disposable glove industry, 11 Crossings is proving that you don’t have to choose between fiscal responsibility and environmental sustainability. From developing our packaging from 80% recycled materials, to supporting glove manufacturers that utilize 100% renewable woodchip biomass energy, 11 Crossings makes it possible to dramatically improve the social and environmental profile of glove supply chains while at the same time reducing costs. At 11 Crossings we believe that today’s lowest cost nitrile glove manufacturers will face serious price adjustment risk in the coming years as the costs of burning coal and generating carbon emissions will rise. By aligning with manufacturers that have already made the transition to greener, and more sustainable energy resources, we are confident that we are positioning our clients for less pricing volatility over a longer time horizon.
PROTECT AFFORDABILITY IN ANY MARKET CONDITIONS
By facilitating factory-direct engagement with top quality vendors in the medical glove industry, 11 Crossings dramatically reduces the costs of purchasing, and administering, medical device supply chains. Our ESG Vendor-Direct Partnership model is based on a clear, win-win formula, where all costs in the supply chain are known to the end-user. All savings in the supply chain are passed to the client in real-time, without the need to administer complex and lengthy rebate programs. Even in the post-Covid 19 pandemic world where manufacturers no longer guarantee fixed pricing, our model maximizes savings even for multi-year contracts, by aligning both the vendor and the purchaser to verifiable, global index pricing. Accordingly, there are no extra margins built into our pricing to hedge against potential future cost increases, and as a result, can offer our best pricing at any given time, no matter what the market condition.
