Replacing legacy drug inventory system
AmerisourceBergen needed a new inventory management solution.
AmerisourceBergen’s inventory technologies group was looking to enhance the experience of healthcare practices by optimizing drug inventory and enabling real-time tracking. The existing inventory management solution required several weeks of lead time to onboard a practice, and the client sought a new platform to scale their business and rid themselves of obsolete technology.
Building a next-gen solution on Azure cloud
TCS helped modernize legacy inventory solution to the cloud.
The company partnered with TCS to build the next-gen inventory management solution, to address AmerisourceBergen’s business and technical challenges. TCS adopted Azure cloud features, leveraged DevOps practices and agile methodologies for rapid software development, and introduced exciting features to achieve better customer-centricity.
The new reliable and scalable platform has built-in automated workflows. TCS also simplified complex drug inventory purchasing processes for inventory buying administrators. The team adopted a feature-driven rollout methodology to enable healthcare practices and migrate to the cloud inventory platform. The solution was also cost-effective as it leveraged TCS’ nearshore capabilities.
Several practices were successfully migrated from the legacy system to the cloud. The plan is to now migrate the rest of the practices using the new ‘Bin Management’ feature over the next few months.
Tracking inventory in real time
AmerisourceBergen now enjoys real-time information on its inventory.
TCS helped AmerisourceBergen to successfully migrate legacy inventory management system to Azure cloud. The new platform is scalable and compatible with smart dispensing stations. It provides real-time information and maintains optimal inventory levels.
To remain competitive in the market and perhaps even leapfrog from a technology point of view, we knew we needed to evolve rapidly to a cloud-based, platform-native stack and permanently embed DevOps into our culture. Working in close partnership with my teams, TCS helped us make this transition by partnering with us and bringing experienced and driven team. Today we continue to onboard larger and more sophisticated practices and are enjoying all the benefits this new architecture and approach to our pipeline brings.
