What Powers the Cato Experience
Our platform supercharges healthcare procurement teams by automating manual sourcing tasks through AI agents and technology.
Cato provides total transparency into the market, presenting buyers with clear options between contract benchmarks and spot market pricing, all with confirmed availability and delivery timelines. Our technology doesn’t just fill orders. It provides the intelligence required to optimize spend and ensure health systems remain resilient in a dynamic market.
Your Digital Warehouse for Supply Chain Flexibility
Our digital warehouse never takes a day off. We are continuously vetting and onboarding a GPO- and brand-agnostic network of manufacturers, specialty suppliers, and diverse distributors to build a defensive layer of resilience that you can tap into on demand.
Supply Choices When You Need Them Most
Our inventory and pricing intelligence provides, for the first time, immediate access to hidden inventory that exists within the secondary supply chain. With a growing catalog of hundreds of thousands of SKUs backed by active inventory data, we can identify supply that remains invisible to legacy procurement portals. That’s why health systems rely on Cato during supply disruptions.
The Matching Engine of Medical Supplies
With 50 to 300 items on hospitals’ shortage lists at any given time, manual sourcing can take days or even weeks. Our AI matching engine compresses timelines by instantly identifying exact supply matches. When the primary SKU is unavailable, it serves as a Rosetta Stone for medical supplies, interpreting disparate product taxonomies to surface functional equivalent substitutes.
Making Sense of Healthcare Data with AI
Our technology solves a central friction point in healthcare supply chain execution: fragmented, siloed data. Buyers, suppliers, and manufacturers operate within rigid internal ERPs, each using unique SKU names, descriptions, and formats. Whether the input is a shortage report, an off-contract request spreadsheet, or an email, Cato’s platform cleanses, harmonizes, and enriches data from hundreds of sources to build a connected graph that links every item to its clinical and commercial context. Our AI automatically generates order inquiries from unstructured data, eliminating the need for cumbersome EDI setups or supplier-onboarding integrations. We transform chaotic supply inputs into a unified, actionable signal that delivers real-time inventory and pricing intelligence to health systems.
