How we earn your trust

Trading medication between pharmacies only works when both sides can trust the transaction. Here is how InStockRx earns that trust on every trade.

Every pharmacy is verified

Every counterparty is a licensed, DEA-registered pharmacy, verified before they can trade.

Records on every trade

Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) transaction records on every trade. InStockRx has been a GS1 US Standard Solution Partner since November 2024.

Clear pricing and records

No blinded transactions. You see the price, the counterparty, and a clean record of every trade.

Real people who know pharmacy

Your Dedicated Account Manager understands pharmacy, not a generic support line.

How InStockRx compares

Not every pharmacy-to-pharmacy marketplace is doing the same job. Here is how InStockRx lines up against three others, based on what each says publicly.

What sets InStockRx apart

1

Built for every pharmacy, including enterprise and hospital systems

Independents, multi-location and regional chains, specialty and LTC pharmacies, and enterprise health systems all trade on one verified network. Multi-facility groups rebalance inventory system-wide with centralized control and distributed execution.

Why it matters: Most pharmacy marketplaces are built for independent stores. Chains, specialty and LTC pharmacies, and health systems have had nowhere purpose-built for how they actually operate.
2

DSCSA transaction records on every trade

Every trade records the transaction information and a transaction statement, kept seven years. Product identifiers follow GS1 standards, and InStockRx has been a GS1 US Standard Solution Partner since November 2024.

Why it matters: Your records stay in your account. Records kept seven years, a year longer than DSCSA’s six. Your pharmacy keeps its own compliance responsibilities.
3

Works with the PMS you already use

InStockRx connects with any pharmacy management system, so it fits the setup you already run instead of forcing you onto a new one.

Why it matters: Some marketplaces only run inside one pharmacy management system. InStockRx works with any PMS you already have.
4

Verified pharmacy-to-pharmacy, every seller a pharmacy

InStockRx is a peer marketplace. Every listing comes from a licensed pharmacy. Every pharmacy’s state license and DEA registration are verified before its first trade.

5

Built with the pharmacy community, backed for the long term

Invite-only Trading Partner Groups let networks trade privately. A Dedicated Account Manager helps you get comfortable and track down hard-to-find stock. Free to join, no fees to buy.
