Secondary Pharmacy Wholesaler and Distributor
Independent pharmacies have a supply agreement through a buying group with a primary wholesaler to take advantage of the buying power of many. Compliance with your supply agreement can be challenging. For those savvy pharmacies who understand their compliance metrics, they recognize that partnering with a secondary wholesaler is key to optimizing their drug costs. After all, your COGS (cost of goods sold) is the largest line item on your profit and loss statement.
Here at IPC, we recognized this need and created a wholesale distribution warehouse that meets the needs of over 7,000 pharmacies across the country.
Why should I choose IPC as my secondary pharmacy wholesaler?
Our customers have shared the four things they like most about using IPC as a secondary wholesaler:
1
Access to both Brand and Generic Drugs
Our customers recognize the need to stay compliant with their primary wholesaler and balance that with finding competitive prices. Buying generics from IPC creates discounts on brands, with our Warehouse Edge program, and buying brands helps with compliance ratios. It’s a WIN-WIN.
