DURHAM, N.C. — Parata Systems LLC announced that it has acquired assets related to automated technology that allows prescription pickup via self-service kiosks from Amistar
and Distributed Delivery Networks Corp.
The deal is expected to fuel the company's growth and bring new jobs to the region.
"We continue to be energized by the high growth we've sustained over our six-year history," said Jess Eberdt, chief executive of Parata.
Eberdt said APMs offer consumers greater access and convenience in the pharmacy. Where state regulations allow, self-service kiosks let customers quickly pick up their prescriptions, even when the pharmacy is closed.
"APMs are an ideal way to extend consumers' access and improve service times for prescription pickup, two priorities among retail consumers today," Eberdt said. "APMs in pharmacy offer the same benefits of interactive self-service that consumers have come to appreciate in other industries where safety and privacy are a priority, such as banking and airline travel."
