Address your biggest pharmaceutical distribution challenges
RELEX helps pharmaceutical distributors and wholesalers address challenges across the supply chain, from high inventory costs and low service levels to shifting models and regulations.
Fluctuating demand patterns
Pharmaceutical distributors and wholesalers serve a diverse customer base, which means they must be able to respond quickly to changes in order volumes, frequency, and demand.
An unstable supply chain
Inventory decisions can be significantly impacted by both suppliers and retailers, making it difficult to anticipate stock levels and assortments.
Balancing availability with inventory costs
Pharmaceutical distributors must meet government regulations requiring them to maintain high stock and service levels for health and safety needs — which can carry significant costs.
Complex substitutions
Pharmaceutical distributors and wholesalers must manage complex substitution requirements resulting from pricing shifts and regulations that drive changes to healthcare and insurance providers’ preferred drugs.
