Fulfillment a Profitable Service at UTHealth

The in-plant serves the University of Texas Health Science Center, located in Houston, and began taking on fulfillment work to bring in more business and improve its services and value.

One of its largest clients has been the Children's Learning Institute, part of the Department of Pediatrics. Some of its kits involve binders, peel-and-stick labels, post cards and even the odd specialty item, like toy animals or puppets, all of which the in-plant is in charge of ordering, storing, assembling and shipping. One of these fulfillment projects netted the in-plant more than $800,000 in billing.
