iA, a company that provides an integrated Pharmacy Fulfillment Platform for retail, health system and government pharmacies, announced the launch of Shared Central Fulfillment.
Shared Central Fulfillment is a cloud-based solution that enables pharmacy fulfillment owners to offer centralized fulfillment services to multiple pharmacy partners from a single fulfillment center. By combining iA’s NEXiA Fulfillment and NEXiA Cloud software, along with advanced automation and robotics technologies, pharmacies now have the ability to unlock excess capacity in a central fill operation through Shared Central Fulfillment and can provide seamless prescription fulfillment for multiple pharmacy partners allowing prescriptions from multiple pharmacy management system feeds and inventory separation. iA is dedicated to building solutions that support a more sustainable work environment for pharmacy providers, which can ultimately advance the pharmacist’s role in healthcare, the company said.

“With over 30 years in the pharmacy automation space, iA recognizes the pharmacy industry needs a movement in order to progress pharmacy operations,” said Tom Utech, chief executive officer, iA. “Shared Central Fulfillment is an innovative solution that enables both large and small pharmacy operations to capitalize on centralized fulfillment. Pharmacy Providers can now expand prescription fulfillment solutions across multiple pharmacy partners from a single fulfillment center, enabling more pharmacies access to solutions that help improve workflow, increase efficiency, and ultimately free up pharmacies to spend more time providing quality care to patients.”
Shared Central Fulfillment expands the pharmacy fulfillment solutions iA offers, extending its reach and deepens its collaborative efforts across pharmacy settings, encompassing community, health system, retail, specialty, and federal pharmacies. To date iA has provided Centralized and Community fulfillment solutions that help Pharmacy Providers improve profitability, increase efficiency, and increase customer satisfaction by shifting filling activities away from front-line retail, health system, and government pharmacies.
