AI analytics for healthcare and med-tech

A health system priced at tier three is buying at tier one volume, nine of its ship-to addresses are unmapped and carry 210,000, and the discount difference is 78,000 a year. AI analytics reads the sales, contract and facility files, and answers sales operations: where are we under-earning on contracts, and which facilities have stopped ordering.

Ask it in your own words

These are the questions healthcare suppliers ask. Each one maps to a measure our tools compute from your files. The AI model chooses the measure and explains the result; the arithmetic is done by our code, and every total is checked.

A conversation, with the figures

Every figure below was computed by a tool from the rows and checked before it was shown. The lines sum; the percentages match; each line opens to the rows that make it.

Where are we priced at a tier the customer has not earned?

The discount given above the tier earned is worth $610k a year across 3 regions, on trailing volume against the contract thresholds. Eastern region accounts for $310k, 51% of it.

Eastern region$310k51% of the total
Central region$190k31% of the total
Western region$110k18% of the total
The 3 lines sum to$610k0 unexplained

Which eastern health systems?

3 systems account for $181k of the $310k in the Eastern region, 58% of it. At the largest, nine ship-to addresses are unmapped and four facilities stopped ordering a category last year.

Lakeside Health System$78ktier 3 priced; $1.3m trailing, tier 1; 9 unmapped sites
Riverbend Medical Group$62ktier 2 priced; $0.9m trailing
Summit Care Network$41kfour facilities stopped a category
These 3 are$181k58% of Eastern region

What does the contracts team do first?

Map the nine addresses, recompute the tier, and then decide with the rep whether the conversation is about recovering the four facilities or about the price. The tool gives both figures; the choice is the account's.

The measures behind the answers

Each measure has one formula, one source and one meaning. They are computed per rep and health system and in total, and every one carries an identity that must hold before it is shown.

What the AI model does, and what our tools do

The AI model chooses the measure

From your question and the measures declared for healthcare and med-tech, the model picks the one that answers it, and the period and comparison the question implies.

Our tools do the arithmetic

Deterministic code reads the rows, computes the measure, and checks the identities below. The same question on the same data gives the same answer, every time.

The AI model explains, and cites

The AI model writes the sentence around the result, naming the rep or account behind it. It states no figure that is not in the result, and every figure links to its rows.

The identities that must hold

MappingShip-tos = mapped + unmapped; mapped revenue + unmapped revenue = ledger
ComplianceEligible purchases = on contract + off contract
PriceLines = at contract price + above + below
AgreementsAgreements = in force + expiring + expired still priced

What it reads

The exports healthcare suppliers already produce. Column names are mapped once and the mapping is reused. A file is the way in; scheduled delivery and connections to your systems come with the plan, and every source is listed here.

Questions healthcare suppliers ask about AI analytics

Why does facility mapping matter so much?

Because the tier is computed on the system's volume, and volume at unmapped addresses is invisible. Nine unmapped sites can move a system from tier one to tier two, and the price conversation changes. The tool reports mapping completeness first, so the rest of the figures are read with it in mind.

Can it see both directions of price leakage?

Yes. Invoiced above contract is money the customer will claw back; invoiced below contract is money you gave away. Both are computed line by line against the contract price file and listed by facility and item.

How does it handle a group purchasing organisation?

As a contracting entity above the system. Compliance and tier are computed at whichever level the contract names, and the hierarchy file says which facilities belong where. Where a facility's parent is unknown, the row says so.

What files does a supplier need?

Sales by facility, item and month, the contract price and tier file, the facility-to-system mapping, and agreement dates. Every file is one that sales operations already maintains for rebates and chargebacks.
