Pharmacy Procurement Software That Unifies Your Supply Chain Ecosystem on One Platform
Stop logging into separate vendor portals. SureCost consolidates all of your vendors into one platform so you can compare pricing and availability, place orders and manage receiving in real time. It also helps you meet your primary vendor rebates and minimums by recommending items to drive compliance and tracking progress before quarter's end, all from a single view.
Pharmacy Management System
SureCost acts as your virtual vendor hub inside your existing Pharmacy Information Management System (PIMS): comparing prices, submitting orders, confirming receipts and syncing inventory back without overhauling your current workflows.
GPO Membership
SureCost doesn't replace your GPO; it maximizes it. Get real-time visibility into contracted pricing, catch discrepancies the moment they happen and verify compliance at time of purchase "rather than 30–60 days after".
Vendors and Wholesalers
Your vendor relationships are an asset — SureCost maximizes them. 350+ direct integrations bring every order, invoice and shipment into one centralized platform. Every vendor. Total control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is SureCost a GPO?
No. SureCost is not a GPO. It is pharmacy procurement and supply management software that works with your existing GPO agreements. SureCost brings GPO pricing and contract requirements into the purchasing workflow, so pharmacies can see contracted pricing, monitor compliance, and identify pricing discrepancies while buying.
How is SureCost different from pharmacy analytics tools?
Pharmacy analytics tools mainly help you analyze what happened. SureCost connects that data to the purchasing and inventory workflow. For example, Purchase Manager lets pharmacy teams compare vendor pricing, submit orders, and check contract compliance, while Inventory Manager handles inventory workflows and Drug Shortage Insights adds shortage intelligence.
So the difference is not simply “more analytics.” SureCost uses purchasing, inventory, vendor, contract, and shortage data to support decisions while the pharmacy is actually managing supply.
Which pharmacies use SureCost?
SureCost serves independent retail, long-term care, and health system pharmacies across the U.S. More than 1,600 locations and 10,000+ pharmacy professionals use the platform, including 8 of the 10 largest long-term care pharmacies.
Does SureCost replace my GPO or wholesaler relationships?
No. SureCost works alongside your existing GPO and wholesaler relationships. It connects those purchasing sources so your team can compare options, apply contract requirements, monitor primary-vendor compliance, and identify opportunities outside the primary vendor. SureCost does not replace your GPO.
Does SureCost integrate with my pharmacy management system?
Yes. SureCost integrates with pharmacy management systems and accounts payable systems. It can work within your existing pharmacy information management workflow, including purchasing, order submission, receipt confirmation, and inventory synchronization. SureCost also supports integrations with a large network of wholesalers and other trading partners.
