Globalization, expanded product portfolios due to acquisitions and new requirements for products and services have dramatically changed the supply chains in the pharmaceutical industry in general, but also pharmacies in particular, in recent years. In addition, digitalization opens up new opportunities, but poses major challenges for the logistics of required medicines.

Especially in these facilities, a supply of appropriate medication is often vital for survival.
