TRANSACTION DATA SYSTEMS: TDS Partners with ScriptDrop to Provide Independent Pharmacies a Convenient Prescription Delivery Solution

Transaction Data Systems issued the following announcement on July 19.

Transaction Data Systems (TDS), parent company of the Rx30 and Computer-Rx pharmacy management systems, today announced a partnership that will provide an easy and efficient prescription delivery solution to more than 8,000 community pharmacies.

TDS customers will now have the following capabilities:

  • Electronic access to same-day, on-demand and shipping deliveries
  • Delivery status updates directly in their pharmacy system
  • Direct connection to a trusted nationwide courier network
  • Easy‐to‐use functionality to decrease medication abandonment and increase pharmacy bottom line

"Our entire team at ScriptDrop is excited for the partnership with the leading pharmacy management systems in the country," said Nick Potts, CEO and Founder of ScriptDrop. "This partnership will bring a scalable prescription delivery solution to thousands of pharmacies and help millions of patients adhere to their prescribed medication. I could not be happier for what the future holds."

ScriptDrop offers affordable delivery services that allow pharmacists to stay within their workflow. Prescription delivery is a critical step in the ongoing battle for adherence. In a survey conducted by ScriptDrop, 37% of patients reported leaving a prescription at the pharmacy due to "inconvenience." Other research shows that every 10% improvement in medication adherence reduces healthcare costs by up to 29%, according to an article on medication adherence statistics by Pillsy.com.

"TDS is committed to equipping community pharmacies with the latest technology and services to improve pharmacy operations, increase pharmacy revenue and improve patient health through optimal care," said TDS President and Chief Operating Officer, Kevin Lathrop. "Through this integrated delivery solution, we believe our customers will gain an advantage over large chain pharmacies. This custom, personal, convenient solution aligns with the type of personal care for which community pharmacies are known while also helping drive revenue which is critical to ensuring community pharmacies continue to thrive."
