Pro-Act says it has expanded an agreement with Vizient that will change how that company’s clients manage their foodservice purchasing and supply chains.

The agreement with Vizient, a provider-driven health care performance improvement company, and Provista, a Vizient company, will enable clients to optimize their produce purchases while leveraging a broad selection of center-of-plate protein providers across Pro-Act’s distribution network, according to a news release.

“Working with Vizient and Provista aligns perfectly with our mission to provide innovative solutions that optimize supply chains and improve the overall foodservice experience,” said Rich Hall, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Pro-Act. “By introducing protein to our fresh produce offerings, we can deliver even greater value to Vizient and Provista provider clients and improve their operational efficiency.”

The expanded agreement is available to Vizient and Provista’s entire client base, which includes over 65% of the nation’s acute-care providers and 35% of the non-acute market, the release said.
