Technology Hardware for Pharmacy
Buying Your Own Hardware
You have options when it comes to the technology hardware used in your pharmacy. You can buy it from your pharmacy software vendor or you can purchase it yourself and save thousands. Most pharmacy systems will sell you overpriced and out-dated computer hardware with a 20% markup fee. We have compiled a list of equipment that you can purchase from Amazon yourself.
