The traditional approach to managing today’s global supply chain is failing health systems. As growing complexities continue to cloud visibility, healthcare professionals are facing unprecedented challenges in dealing with production delays, product shortages, supply chain disruptions, and arbitrary allocation without the proper insight to take action.  

Dukal is upsetting the industry standard, putting an end to the antiquated allocation processes and inventory disruptions with complete visibility of your products’ progress from production to delivery to ensure healthcare providers have what they need when they need it.

The impact on patient health

Impact on business health

Further, stockouts, delays, cancelations, and reschedulings are impacting the financial health of an already strained health system, with the worldwide cost of inventory disruptions growing to $1.9 trillion. (2)

Demands for greater transparency are falling short

The failure of the global supply chain in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 caused fundamental concerns about the sustainability of today’s health system, increasing demands for supply chain transparency.

Yet for many, full visibility remains out of reach. Why?

According to Gartner, “60% of supply chain leaders say their supply chains have been designed for cost efficiency, not resiliency.” Creating visibility barriers as siloed processes disrupt many companies from clearly communicating when an order ships, what was shipped, or if there are changes to an order.

Because the supply chain function oversees most of a health system’s external spend, which accounts for up to 40% of total costs, working with a high-performing supply chain can boost resilience, enhance care, increase satisfaction among physicians and reduce supply spend, placing health systems in a better position to achieve growth goals.
