In the fast-evolving landscape of retail pharmacy, staying ahead of the curve is more than a necessity; it's a commitment. At McKesson, we pride ourselves on fostering enduring partnerships that drive innovation and efficiency. Recently, we had the pleasure of catching up with Matt Duell, Director of Pharmacy Business Solutions at Wegmans, to reflect on our 20-year partnership and discuss how we're shaping the future of pharmacy together.

A Shared Journey

Wegmans, a beloved grocery store chain based out of Rochester, New York, has been a steadfast partner with McKesson, utilizing our EnterpriseRx® pharmacy management system. This collaboration has allowed Wegmans to optimize their operations across 110 grocery stores and 98 pharmacies on the East Coast. Matt Duell recalls his early days as a pharmacy intern during the rollout of EnterpriseRx, emphasizing how this technology has been integral to their growth and efficiency.

Innovating Together

Efficiency is key in today's pharmacy landscape. As Matt shared, features like Lock Data Entry, Simplified Pharmacist Review (SPR), and Vaccine Fast Track have been transformative. These innovations optimize workflows, reduce eye strain for pharmacists, and enhance the overall quality of service. The SPR, in particular, was developed in close collaboration with Wegmans, highlighting the power of a true partnership in creating solutions tailored to real-world needs.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the pharmacy industry, our partnership with Wegmans stands as a testament to the power of collaboration. Together, we are well-positioned to face new competitors, adapt to changing customer needs, and continue delivering exceptional service.

Matt Duell perfectly encapsulates our shared vision: "EnterpriseRx is truly the heart of what we do. It runs our business. And, it's really fun, the partnership that we have, to continue to advance and improve upon that. So, it's been a great 20 years. And definitely, here's to another twenty."

At McKesson, we're committed to innovation and partnership, ensuring that our clients, like Wegmans, have the tools they need to succeed. As we celebrate two decades of collaboration, we look forward to many more years of innovation and success.
