Over the previous couple of decades, information technology has played a key role on the working of millions of people and helped in betterment of various industrial sectors including healthcare. Multiple end users, prescribers and pharmacists, have embraced the benefits of automation.

In addition, the digitalization and automation of the stock and repository management have helped streamline the supply process in case of large pharmacy chains, such as Wallgreens, Apollo, and CVS.
