How Aptean MDS Stands Out
Aptean MDS Pharma
Aptean MDS Pharma provides pharmaceutical distributors with the tools to operate efficiently, compliantly, and with complete visibility. The system integrates EPCIS and Pedigree to meet all federal and state requirements while offering robust rebate and contract management.
Track lot numbers, expiration dates, and serial numbers, manage licenses across states and product categories, and verify customer licenses automatically to prevent unauthorized shipments. Maintain limits on product or customer usage, ensure DEA compliance, and generate integrated ARCOS and Pharma Transaction Reports for full auditability.
Detailed product information including size, strength, color, and family can be tied to specific customers, supporting reporting and customized order preferences. Aptean MDS Pharma ensures accuracy, compliance, and operational control across every aspect of pharmaceutical distribution.
Pharmaceutical and Medical Distribution ERP
Aptean MDS unites your medical and pharmaceutical distribution operations with real-time visibility and control. From inventory management and order processing to regulatory compliance and customer service, the system streamlines every business process while providing executives with drill-down insights into sales, cash position, accounting, and productivity.
The platform supports interactive order taking, sophisticated contract and rebate pricing, purchasing, multi-branch inventory management, lot and serial tracking, warehouse management, and delivery routing.
