“Our NEXiA platform enables our hardware and third-party solutions to talk, streamlining the end-to-end fulfillment process,” said Marvin Richardson, RPh, Chief Executive Officer of iA. “This allows pharmacies of all sizes to take advantage of flexible on-time delivery, help reduce costs to fill, and provide the time it takes to spend with patients.” The continued evolution of NEXiA delivers expanded capabilities that drive omnichannel pharmacy fulfillment – from prescription acceptance to quality verification and delivery.
