The pharmaceutical industry is changing rapidly. Due to increasing chronic diseases and after the Covid-19 outbreak, there came a massive boom in the pharma industry. Thus the pharmaceutical organizations and manufacturers began to manufacture and supply medicines and medical equipment faster to meet the requirements of the patients. Pharmaceutical distributors work more than an intermediary and ease the tasks of manufacturers and clients. 

Pharma distributors purchase and take legal ownership of pharmaceuticals and manage inventory and credit risk; this allows manufacturers to focus on their core drug development and manufacturing competencies. They are critical players in the healthcare ecosystem. Ninety-two percent of prescription pharmaceuticals flow through a complex, secure ecosystem composed of patients, providers, pharmacies, distributors, group purchasing organizations (GPOs), manufacturers, pharmacy services administration organizations (PSAOs), pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs).  

Pharmaceutical distributors continue to evolve beyond their flagship offering of core services to enlarge services to ecosystem stakeholders while optimizing costs. In addition to enabling a secure, transparent, and efficient pharmaceutical supply chain that safeguards patient safety, distributors offer value-added services such as independent pharmacy support, generic sourcing programs, hub services, and innovative partnerships. 

Distributors provide services and distribution facilities such as Storage and transporting goods to a required site in the required temperature conditions.
