We’re pioneers in makingfreight management easier and more cost effective for colleges and universitiesAfter years of bringing experience, leading-edge technology

and proactive account management to the healthcare industry,

VPL became the first company to create a freight management program

tailored to colleges and universities that conduct grant-funded research.

We understand the unique shipping and billing needs of higher education

institutions, and not only meet those needs, but save money in the process.

The Difference

Customized Solutions

Designed with Your End Users in MindNo changes to the way you place orders and receive deliveries.

No disruptions to your departments, researchers or grant funding.

Once your VPL program is up and running nothing will change—your departments don’t even need to know we exist. We just work quietly in the background, saving you money day after day

We’ll manage the shipping on your Pcard orders with the same level of invoice detail and savings as those originating with a PO

Our customizable technology is built around your unique system requirements, accounting rules and culture

For standard orders, you just place your orders like you always do and we make sure the suppliers know how to ship so you can save with each delivery

For your capital buyers, we make it easy to get and compare quotes, and engage directly with suppliers to schedule pickup and delivery

For campus shipping and logistics teams, VPL handles inbound and outbound shipments, determines the best carrier and the right truck, schedules pickups and deliveries, tracks shipments, and assists with claims

LTL and Truckload Shipments are Built Right InVPL provides access to dozens of carriers, ensuring the best price on every delivery.

A dedicated LTL support line lets you call once and be done. And our invoice makes it easy to

add freight charges into total landed cost of product for asset tracking and depreciation.

A consolidated invoice will be delivered weekly for a seamless upload into your AP system with all charges already matched to the appropriate funding sources

Our proprietary system loads your accounting system with accurate freight costs allocated to specific grants, budgets, departments, cost centers and account codes

We integrate with all the most popular systems, including SciQuest, Ariba, Banner, PeopleSoft, Oracle and more

Invoicing and Allocation are SeamlessYour VPL invoices are uniquely formatted to your system requirements and your

accounting rules. Best of all, they’re easy to understand, are loaded with the details

you need, and require no human touch points from your AP team.

Your dedicated VPL account manager proactively monitors your data for

opportunities to maximize program savings. Independent analyses made by

our clients have shown that with VPL managing their shipping, they save

an average of $20 per order. For LTL and Truckload deliveries, you can save

hundreds, and sometimes even thousands, of dollars on your orders.

staff by offering flexible data-exchange capabilities, and a set-up process tailor

made to you. We have conversion down to a science, and your dedicated

We Have a Long History of Looking Ahead

Vantage Point Logistics has long been ahead of the curve when it comes to inbound freight management. Our partners were part of the founding team

of HLS MedFreight, the first company to introduce the idea of inbound freight management

to the healthcare industry in 2001.

Under their guidance, HLS MedFreight quickly became the market leader, serving more than 1,400 hospitals and medical centers. We were constantly being asked

by universities to create a system especially for them, and when the company was sold in 2010,

the time was right to design a freight management program for higher education customers.

Their strict accounting rules led us to develop a sophisticated billing and reporting system

that is renowned by our clients for its transparency and ease of use.

Today, VPL has a reputation in the industry for our honesty, accountability and desire to ensure our customers always receive the best

shipping services for the lowest possible price. Never satisfied with maintaining the status quo,

we’re constantly looking for new ways to make freight management simpler and more transparent,

and transform the way our clients manage their inbound and outbound shipping costs.
