One missed handoff and the kit never ships

Partner onboarding in health tech is a six step chain across contract, payment, fulfillment, shipping, and activation. Miss one handoff and a customer never goes live. Loopfour runs the chain end to end.

Industry Context

Where the finance work gets stuck.

Onboarding depends on handoffs

Health tech companies live and die on onboarding chains that touch four systems and several teams: a partner signs, a payment clears, a kit is fulfilled, it ships, the customer activates. Each step hands off to the next, and each handoff is a place where something can quietly stall. When it does, nobody notices until a customer who paid weeks ago still has not received anything.

Vendor costs drift from the deal

Underneath that runs a second problem: cost. The pricing a deal was modeled on drifts from what vendors actually charge. Diagnostic kits, lab fees, and shipping show up as real invoices with higher costs or different structures than the quote. The variance is only caught, if at all, when someone manually reconciles a vendor bill against the original assumption months later. Amortizing those costs across the contract is done by hand in a spreadsheet.

The Reality

Where partner onboarding stalls

Complex onboarding chains

Contract to payment to fulfillment to shipping to activation is a six step chain across multiple systems where one stalled handoff means a kit never ships and a customer never goes live.

Pricing assumptions drift

Deals are modeled on expected vendor costs. Over the life of a contract those assumptions drift from reality, and nobody is watching the gap until margin has already eroded.

Vendor invoices don't match quotes

The invoice that arrives rarely matches the quote it was based on. Different line items and different rates force the team to compare every bill to the original assumption.

Amortization is manual

Spreading partner and vendor costs across the contract term is done by hand in a spreadsheet, which means it is slow, fragile, and impossible to audit.

How Loopfour Handles It

Run the onboarding chain, catch the variance at invoice

Loopfour drives each onboarding step and confirms the handoff before the next begins, so a stalled kit surfaces immediately instead of weeks later. It checks every vendor invoice against the modeled cost, flags the variance the moment it appears, and amortizes the rest automatically.
