Retail/community pharmacies often deliver medications to a patient’s home as a service, while long term care pharmacies deliver medications to the care facility such as nursing homes. Specialty pharmacies ship medications that may require special handling.
Multiple courier services, delivery solutions, and technology vendors have entered the market to support these pharmacy delivery needs. The “last-mile” delivery typically involves the delivery of very sensitive or expensive drugs from the final transportation hub, such such as an airport or UPS terminal, to the end user or hospital.
The Pharmacy500 is awarded to 500 pharmacy supply chain businesses and associations that significantly impacted dispensing pharmacies in the U.S. over the past year.
The following are complimentary benefits extended to Pharmacy500 companies and associations (coming this spring!)
Company Overview
CXT Software is the leading provider of enterprise courier and delivery management technology in North America, trusted for more than 25 years by the most demanding pharmaceutical couriers, specialty pharmacies, long-term care providers, and pharmacy networks.
Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, CXT powers millions of time-critical, temperature-sensitive, and chain-of-custody-regulated pharmacy deliveries every year. Our flagship platform is engineered for operations that cannot afford downtime, missed windows, or compliance gaps.
Built for the Complexity of Pharmaceutical Delivery
Pharmaceutical delivery is not parcel delivery. A prescription can be life-sustaining. A specialty medication can be worth thousands of dollars per dose. A chemotherapy shipment may be time-, temperature-, and light-sensitive. CXT was engineered for this reality. From independent pharmacy networks to national specialty couriers and hospital/health-system logistics teams, our customers run their entire pharmacy delivery operation on CXT.
Pharmacy-focused capabilities include:
The Platform
CXT is a single, unified platform that combines dispatch, routing, driver mobility, customer portals, billing, and analytics. Unlike siloed solutions, CXT lets pharmacy couriers manage same-day, next-day, routed, and on-demand delivery from one pane of glass. Dispatchers see every order, every driver, every scan, and every SLA in real time.
Platform components include:
What Makes CXT Different
Pharmacy logistics leaders choose CXT for three reasons: reliability, configurability, and control. The platform is delivered as a full SaaS solution with enterprise-grade security and a robust integration layer — APIs, EDI, and HL7 — that connects directly to pharmacy management systems, TMS platforms, ERPs, and customer portals. For pharmaceutical couriers running high-volume, multi-route operations, CXT’s scale, performance, and configurability are unmatched in the industry.
Who We Serve
Why Pharmacy Operators Choose CXT
Pharmacy operators choose CXT because we understand the stakes. Pharmaceutical delivery isn’t a parcel — it’s patient care. For more than two decades, CXT has been the backbone of the most demanding pharmacy and courier operations in North America, and our software has scaled with new regulations, auditing requirement, and customer/patient experience expectation. When pharmacies and couriers need a platform that can meet compliance mandates, protect revenue, and grow with them, they choose CXT.
Company Overview
e-Courier is the modern delivery management platform built for couriers and pharmacy networks that need to move fast, scale easily, and deliver a best-in-class experience to the pharmacies, patients, and providers they serve. With customers across North America and one of the deepest integration footprints in the industry — spanning the leading pharmacy management systems pharmacy operators rely on — e-Courier has been pioneering web-based courier technology since the earliest days of SaaS and continues to power some of the most patient-centric pharmacy delivery programs in the industry. Our platform is designed for rapid onboarding, continuous innovation, and a modern user experience.
Built for Today’s Pharmacy Delivery Network
Pharmacy networks are evolving. Patients expect Amazon-style tracking. Pharmacists expect a self-service portal. Drivers expect a great mobile experience. Operations leaders expect insights, not just data. e-Courier was built from the ground up for this modern reality — a cloud-native SaaS platform that deploys in weeks, not months.
Pharmacy-focused capabilities include:
Industry-Leading Pharmacy Management System Integrations
For pharmacy networks and providers, the speed and depth of integration with the pharmacy management system (PMS) is the single largest factor that determines how quickly a delivery program can launch — and how smoothly it runs once live.
This is where e-Courier sets the industry standard. e-Courier maintains a deep library of pre-built, production-ready integrations with the pharmacy management systems pharmacy networks and providers rely on every day. This integration footprint is a foundational differentiator and a primary reason pharmacy operators choose e-Courier when they need to stand up a delivery program quickly without compromising on data integrity, patient care, or operational reliability.
Beyond pre-built PMS integrations, e-Courier offers modern REST APIs, webhooks, and comprehensive developer documentation that allow IT teams to extend the platform, build custom workflows, and connect to virtually any pharmacy, EHR, or operational system.
The e-Courier Platform
e-Courier brings together every function a pharmacy courier needs — dispatch, routing, driver mobility, customer experience, invoicing, and analytics — in one modern, cloud-delivered platform. Every module is web-based and accessible from anywhere, which makes e-Courier an ideal fit for growing pharmacy courier operations, regional pharmacy networks, and organizations that prioritize a modern user experience and self-service for their pharmacy customers.
Technology Differentiators
e-Courier’s advantage is a clean, modern, cloud-first architecture that removes the friction pharmacy networks experience with other platforms. New pharmacy accounts onboard quickly, helping maintain seamless patient care and service.
Who We Serve
Why Pharmacy Networks Choose e-Courier
Our customers value how quickly they can launch, how easily they can onboard new pharmacy accounts, and how efficiently their dispatchers and drivers can run day-to-day operations. For pharmacies that want a technology partner that moves at their pace — and delivers a delivery experience patients and pharmacists actually love — e-Courier is the answer.
