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, with no record of where the chain broke. Loopfour runs the chain end to end and logs every step.
Industry Context
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 stall unrecorded. When it does, nobody knows until a customer who paid weeks ago still has not received anything.
Underneath that runs a second exposure: 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 stays unreconciled, if it is caught at all, until someone matches a vendor bill against the original assumption months later. Amortizing those costs across the contract is done by hand in a spreadsheet.
The Reality
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, with no record of where the chain broke.
Deals are modeled on expected vendor costs. Over the life of a contract those assumptions drift from reality, and the gap goes unmonitored until margin has already eroded.
The invoice that arrives rarely matches the quote it was based on. Different line items and different rates mean every bill has to be reconciled against the original assumption.
Spreading partner and vendor costs across the contract term is done by hand in a spreadsheet, which makes the schedule fragile and impossible to audit.
How Loopfour Handles It
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.

HIPAA and BAAs
Loopfour supports HIPAA compliance and signs Business Associate Agreements. The HIPAA Security Rule (opens in a new tab) sets the safeguards a covered entity or business associate has to apply to electronic protected health information. The commitment Loopfour makes is the signed agreement, not a certificate. HHS publishes sample business associate agreement provisions (opens in a new tab) if your counsel wants to compare them with ours.
