Delivering Scalable Logistics Solutions for a Fast-Growing Start-Up

Company: Aqueous Diagnostics, LLC

Location: Phoenix, AZ

Industry: Diagnostic Testing

Founded: 2024

Aqueous Diagnostics is a healthcare innovator bringing diagnostic testing directly to patients—whether at home or in specialized lab settings. Their mission: empower individuals to actively manage their health, reduce healthcare costs, and improve outcomes.

The Situation

As a newly founded company, Aqueous faced a pivotal decision: invest in building their own warehousing and logistics infrastructure or partner with an experienced provider. Without the scale or resources to manage operations in-house, the company needed a trusted partner to ensure reliable, efficient distribution from day one.

“As a start-up, we found it much more attractive to leverage NDC’s scale and expertise than build the capability ourselves.”
— Jon Stamm, SVP, Commercial Operations, Aqueous Diagnostics

The Problem

  1. Infrastructure Challenge – As a new company, Aqueous lacked established warehousing and logistics capabilities.
  2. Critical Decision Point – The team needed to determine whether to build internal infrastructure or outsource to an experienced logistics provider.
  3. Limited Resources – Without the scale, capital, or operational expertise to manage fulfillment in-house, internal development posed significant risk.
  4. Need for Reliability – From launch, Aqueous required a trusted partner to deliver consistent, efficient distribution to support business growth and customer trust.

Solution

Aqueous chose NDC as their third-party logistics (3PL) partner, tapping into NDC’s storage, pick, pack, and ship capabilities. This decision was based not only on NDC’s competitive pricing but also on the strategic value of gaining access to NDC’s expansive network of 1,900 member companies.

“We quickly saw the advantages in partnering with NDC for both 3PL and warehousing. It created efficiencies and opened doors.”
— Jon Stamm

The Results

With NDC as their logistics backbone, Aqueous was able to launch smoothly and meet delivery expectations without delays or disruptions.

  • 100% on-time shipment performance, including both warehouse and member orders
  • Seamless integration of 3PL services from day one
  • Strong and reliable communication with a service-first team

“The experience has been very pleasant. We’re extremely happy with NDC’s performance.”
— Jon Stamm

Final Thoughts

For start-ups and growing companies in healthcare, NDC offers a ready-made solution that’s hard to beat.

“Not sure you’ll find a better solution in healthcare. Pricing is reasonable, performance has been flawless, and the team is always willing to help.”
