Strengthen Your Core Business

Operational excellence is critical in the retail pharmacy business. There's simply no room for higher overhead due to inefficiencies in your labor force, inventory management and billing practices, or back-office administration.

  • Analyze Your Customers and Past Performance. 
    Our business analysts can provide valuable information on your patient demographics and operations, along with peer benchmarking and trend data. By analyzing your current performance and comparing it with those of similar chains, we can help you identify and prioritize areas for improvement.

  • Accomplish More With Fewer Resources. 
    The availability of qualified pharmacy staff simply hasn’t kept pace with the growth in prescription volume. AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation can help you do more with less through: 
    • Workflow analysis. AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation can provide the expertise to review your current workflow processes and set up the optimal physical layout, staff interactions, and prescription processing path.
    • Right-sized pharmacy automation. Following an on-site analysis of your operations, we can recommend a strategy that fits your budget and yields the greatest returns in labor productivity.
    • Central fill resources. For some high-volume chains, centralizing the prescription-filling process makes more sense than deploying automation at each store. AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation’s central fill solution enables you to funnel prescriptions from multiple locations to a central prescription filling site. This can help decrease labor, technology, and inventory costs, while reducing staffing challenges.
  • Streamline Your Pharmacy Supply Chain. 
    With our integrated supply chain management system, IntelliOrder®, simply go online to manage inventory and procurement at every store in your enterprise. It will connect you to all of your vendors so you can manage all of your products, from pharmaceuticals to the front-end, eliminating the expense and time involved in utilizing multiple ordering systems.  Inventory management controls monitor your min-max levels and automatically generate POs for your approval. This helps eliminate stock-outs and excess inventory, and frees staff for other activities.
  • Improve the Financial Performance of Your Business. AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation provides a range of services to reduce the administrative burden on your staff and help you get better results. Our dedicated, expert team headed by a professional analyst will work directly with you to:
  • -  Negotiate more favorable third-party contract terms
