Cerner Retail joins list of Pharmacy Software Vendors Shutting down service to Independent pharmacy owners.

The landscape of the pharmacy software industry is changing fast, and not necessarily for the better. Many vendors continue to sell off, merging with other system vendors, all owned by huge private equity investment firms. Several vendors have even announced complete shut downs of their retail pharmacy software platforms forcing independent pharmacy owners to search for new systems.

Just recently Cerner Retail announced that they will no longer be supporting their product come the end of 2023. This comes after previously announcing that support will cease at the end of 2022. Pharmacies are left frustrated by rapid declines in support, service, and functionality. Cerner follows HBS (Health Business systems) who was acquired by another private equity owned vendor TDS Health, who then sunset / shut down the product shortly after. McKesson, the largest pharmacy wholesaler in the US, sunset both their Pharmacy RX and Pharmaserv platforms, both of which provided software to independently owned pharmacies. PDX also recently announced they would be shutting down their software that was used by independent pharmacies nationwide.

Within the last few years, QS1 and Integra systems was acquired by Red Sail Technologies, who then also acquired and merged with Pioneer RX. Independent Pharmacy owners are left wondering, “will my software vendor be next?” Now more than ever it’s so critical for pharmacy owners to partner with vendors who understand their concerns, frustrations, and goals. Community pharmacies want great technology, backed by fast, reliable support, without overpaying for it. You should not have to wait 10 minutes on hold to talk to support, and you need to have a voice with your pharmacy software vendor—not be a number.

Over the past few years, several of the large pharmacy software companies including Opus, RX30, ComputerRX, Lagniappe Health, HCC, and HBS have all been acquired by a tremendous private equity firm, which now manages multiple software platforms and near 10,000 accounts nationwide! Other vendors such as PioneerRX, QS1, and McKesson Software systems are owned by multi-billion dollar wholesalers.

Pharmacy owners are left questioning, is my pharmacy software company next? Is my vendor a true partner, focusing on the needs of my independent business, or are they too big to provide me with the level of service and support we expect as a community-based pharmacy? Or more importantly, do I want my wholesaler to also own my software company and have insight into every purchasing decision I make? Independent pharmacy owners are frustrated, nervous, and need to partner with an independent company that truly understands their struggles, knows how to support their ever-changing needs, and is laser focused on pharmacy software.
