Reducing waste and helping customers save money with our Short Dates and Special Buys solution

Launched by Cencora in July 2022, the Short Dates and Special Buys solution was developed to give pharmacies access to discounted generic injectables, specifically those with an impending expiration date, through a simplified buying process. Finding and purchasing short-dated medications is typically a frustrating and time-consuming endeavor, making it prohibitive to pharmacy teams that are already stretched thin. Our solution offers these products to customers within their normal purchasing workflow, ABC Order, which enables them to purchase large volumes more efficiently so they can achieve greater savings without disrupting their day-to-day operations.

Not only does this solution offer several advantages to pharmacies looking for discounted products, but it also delivers value to our manufacturer partners. Aggregating substantial volumes through our Short Dates and Special Buys solution streamlines their distribution processes. It helps them offload expiring inventory, avoid labor-intensive sales activity, and maximize their returns — all while reducing supply chain waste.
