Hospitals are tired.
Tired of fragmented systems. Tired of bloated vendor lists. Tired of chasing down reps who don’t answer.
So it makes sense that more supply chain leaders are asking:
“Do we really need distributors anymore?”
It’s a fair question. But here’s a better one:
What if you had the right one?
Not a middleman.
A multiplier.
The Right Distributor Isn’t Another Layer. It’s a Lever.
Let’s clear something up. Distributors aren’t obstacles. They’re partners.
And when you work with the right one, they don’t slow you down. They help you scale smarter.
They consolidate vendor relationships.
They reduce SKU overlap.
They help align clinical teams with purchasing.
And they bring reps who understand the products and the people using them.
You’re not adding complexity.
You’re gaining a flexible, pre-built system designed to work the way your hospital already does.
You Want Fewer Vendors. Not Fewer Solutions.
Hospitals want to simplify sourcing. That’s smart.
But “going direct” often trades one headache for another.
Because here’s what happens when a surgeon wants a new product and that supplier’s not contracted:
- You send it to supply chain.
- Supply chain sends it to nowhere.
- Surgeon sends it to you…again.
- Everyone gives up.
With Leap, those SKUs are already in our platform.
We’ve done the contracting, credentialing, and onboarding in advance. You don’t need 20 new vendors to get 20 new products. You need one partner who already has them.
One vendor. Multiple solutions.
More Support. Less Scramble.
Let’s talk about the reps for a second.
With Leap, hospitals get reps who:
- Are clinically minded (they know the products, not just the pricing sheet)
- Don’t ghost your team the second a sale closes
- Understand your OR’s preferences and stay consistent across cases
- Aren’t just selling. They’re problem-solving
And on the backend?
Your billing gets easier. Documentation gets centralized. And your inbox? Blessedly quieter.
That’s not sales fluff. That’s structure.
Compliance Isn’t an Afterthought. It’s Baked In.
Leap doesn’t handwave compliance – we automate it.
Everything from vendor credentialing and product traceability to audit readiness lives in the system.
You’re not chasing someone down the week before an internal review.
You’re pulling reports from a platform that already saw it coming.
Less scramble. More structure.
Does This Cost More?
Let’s Do the Math.
Yes, sometimes a distributor’s margin exists.
But also: what’s the cost of…
- Your team managing 25 supplier relationships instead of 1?
- Duplicate SKUs clogging your system?
- The wrong rep in the wrong OR at the wrong time?
- Time wasted juggling POs and Invoices between 75 vendors?
Leap helps hospitals reduce purchase order volume, consolidate SKUs, align contracts, and make sourcing easier, not heavier.
And in many cases, we help identify real cost savings by streamlining what you’re already spending, not just negotiating harder.
It’s not about adding cost. It’s about removing waste, unlocking efficiency, and yes, often saving money in the process.
