iA's NEXiA Enterprise Software Suite integrates seamlessly with its advanced robotics and third-party systems to automate and streamline the prescription filling process. This central fulfillment automation can help to remove the tedious and manual processes from the pharmacists’ responsibilities in stores, allowing them more time to focus on patient-facing care.
“Our team understands the unique challenges that pharmacies in healthcare face,” said Tom Utech, iA CEO. “We are dedicated to developing solutions that solve those problems, ease the pharmacist’s workload, and elevate the quality of patient care.”
iA solutions are designed to grow with customers, allowing pharmacies to adjust their operations as their business grows or demand fluctuates, helping them to meet patient needs promptly and reliably. The multi-million-dollar project includes a 5K Central Fill replacement including iA SmartPods, SmartCollator, SmartShelf, Semi-Auto Bagger, MDS, conveyance and NEXiA Fulfillment subscription.
