Numark has announced a new technology partnership with Cegedim Rx that will give its 6,000 members access to a fully integrated, scan-driven dispensing solution designed to improve accuracy, workflow efficiency and patient safety.
Unveiled at The Pharmacy Show, the integration brings together Golden Tote, Numark’s exclusive semi-automated dispensing system and Pharmacy Manager, Cegedim Rx’s award-winning PMR. The connection between the two platforms means pharmacies can now streamline assembly, reduce stock holding and remove significant manual checking and sorting from the daily workload.
Golden Tote has already demonstrated the ability to cut stock holding by up to 45% and release meaningful staff time. By combining it with Pharmacy Manager’s barcode-led workflow and built-in clinical safety features, teams can expect further reductions in error risk and a smoother, more controlled dispensary process.
Adam James, Senior Consultancy and Specialised Proposition Manager at Numark, said:
“Our members tell us they need technology that is robust, accurate and genuinely releases time for patient care. This partnership does exactly that. It reinforces Numark’s commitment to making market-leading dispensing innovation accessible to all our members, and it directly supports our 12 Principles of Community Pharmacy Practice, particularly our focus on safe systems, digital progress and strengthening clinical capacity.”
Harry McQuillan, Chairman of Numark added:
“Community pharmacy needs solutions that work with the grain of everyday practice. This integration gives our members a practical route to safer, smarter and more efficient dispensing, underpinned by technology that improves accuracy and supports clinical service expansion.
It reflects our belief, set out clearly in Numark’s 12 Principles, that digital tools and safe workflows are essential to building a sustainable future for the sector. Most importantly, it helps pharmacy teams spend more time where it matters; with patients.”
For UK pharmacies, the integration between Golden Tote and Pharmacy Manager represents more than technology, said Tracey Robertson
Managing Director of Cegedim Rx. She believes it’s also delivering greater choice, access and dispensing confidence.
“This collaboration allows pharmacies to decide how they want to work and access advanced digital tools that simplify dispensing, without compromise.
“Together Pharmacy Manager and Golden Tote will deliver a powerful, connected solution that enhances dispensing efficiency and patient safety, freeing pharmacists to focus on the care their patients rely on. In doing so, they can strengthen and expand clinical services, supporting a more sustainable future for the modern pharmacy.”
This partnership is the latest step in Numark’s drive to support pharmacies with innovations that help manage workload pressures, reduce operational risk and strengthen the sector’s ability to deliver high-quality clinical care.
