The Company: Global Leader in Pharmaceutical Automation
This multinational healthcare technology company is known for its precision-driven pharmaceutical automation solutions. As it prepared to enter the hospital market with a flagship product for sterile drug compounding, the company turned to IQ Inc to lead software development for a solution that demanded exceptional reliability, scalability, and safety.
The Challenge: Build a Scalable, Safe Compounding Workflow Platform for Hospitals
The client had a clear vision for a next-generation system that would automate the preparation of compounded medications for hospital patients – minimizing human error while remaining adaptable to diverse hospital environments. However, the internal team lacked the bandwidth and depth to execute the project within the desired timeline. Requirements included:
- Safely automating pharmaceutical compounding workflows
- Eliminating manual error in medication preparation
- Supporting flexible, scalable deployment across different hospital types and user roles
The Solution: Full-Stack Platform Development for Secure, Scalable Medication Compounding
IQ Inc served as the client’s dedicated development partner, taking full ownership of software design and implementation. Over the course of a year, our team delivered a custom cloud-based platform that integrates seamlessly with hospital HL7 interfaces, pharmacy management tools, and the client’s proprietary compounding hardware.
We also developed a centralized formulary server to manage medication configurations, container data, and approval workflows, enabling consistent and compliant preparation of complex drug mixtures. The platform is deployable both on-premises and in cloud environments, giving hospitals the flexibility to meet IT and regulatory requirements. Today, pharmacists using the system can control compounding operations remotely – across departments or even between facilities – with confidence in accuracy, traceability, and reliability.
