Hospital pharmacy: clinical procurement, supply and logistics
tiger.PHARMA connects clinical pharmaceutical procurement, supply availability, hospital logistics, product master data, controlling and QMS in one end-to-end supply solution.
Hospital pharmacies must protect patient safety, clinical standards, supply availability and economic efficiency at the same time. Individual negotiations are not enough: demand and case volumes, tenders, business partners, product alternatives, inventories, ward supply, digital master data and quality processes must be managed as one supply chain.

Topics we master
Supply model and boundaries of responsibility
The first step is to clarify whether an in-house hospital pharmacy, a contracted supplying pharmacy or a network model fulfils the supply mandate. tiger.PHARMA designs procurement, data, logistics and steering, but does not assume pharmaceutical leadership or supply medicines without the required authorisations and contractual framework.
- Distinguish clearly between an in-house pharmacy, a supply agreement and a network model
- Create a matrix of services, responsibilities and escalation paths
- Coordinate routine, night, weekend and emergency supply
- Keep pharmaceutical and therapeutic decisions with the authorised professionals
Strategic procurement and business partners
Product categories, manufacturers, wholesalers and purchasing alliances are managed against supply, quality, total cost and contribution to innovation.
- Category and tender strategy
- Contract, price and commercial-terms analysis
- Availability, allocations and binding forecasts
- Supplier assessment and strategic development
Supply security and alternatives
Critical products receive defined coverage, second sources and clear escalation routes.
- Criticality by therapy and substitutability
- Shortage and exceptional-procurement process
- Equivalent and alternative portfolio with pharmaceutical approval
- Emergency stock, allocation and communication
Logistics through to wards and operating theatres
Ordering, storage, picking and consumption are aligned with clinical areas and supply cycles.
- Central warehouse, cross-docking and decentralised stocks
- Ward cabinets, operating theatres, laboratories and functional units
- Kanban, VMI and unit-dose interfaces
- Temperature, batch, expiry and traceability
Digital product and process data
A single source of truth reduces ordering errors, price discrepancies and manual rework.
- PZN, UDI, GTIN, manufacturer and hospital item numbers
- Units, packs, barcodes and category taxonomy
- PIM, ERP, e-procurement, EDI and e-invoicing
- Approval, data quality and change management
Controlling linked to supply performance
Price, consumption, inventory and clinical output are assessed together.
- Price and contract deviations
- Consumption by hospital, ward, case group and assortment
- Inventory coverage, expiry and working capital
- Service level, substitution and process cost
QMS and resilient operations
Pharmaceutical responsibility, SOPs, partners and contingency operations remain auditable and workable in daily practice.
- Roles, deputies and approvals
- Recall, deviation, CAPA and change control
- Service-provider and transport qualification
- Business continuity, IT failure, emergency procurement and exercises
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does every hospital need its own hospital pharmacy?
Not necessarily. Depending on the applicable legal and operating model, supply may also be provided by another hospital pharmacy or an authorised supplying community pharmacy under a suitable supply agreement. The specific model must be clarified with the responsible professionals and authorities.
How does tiger.PHARMA improve clinical procurement?
Procurement, consumption, price, inventory and availability data are connected by category and criticality. This produces tender, supplier, inventory and process measures with clear owners.
How can shortages in hospital pharmacies be reduced?
Through critical-product lists, early warning, qualified alternatives, second sources, suitable coverage, coordinated allocations and one pharmaceutical approval and communication process.
Does tiger.PHARMA support purchasing alliances and multiple hospital sites?
Yes. Contracts, assortments, master data, forecasts, inventories and KPIs can be harmonised across sites without ignoring clinically necessary local differences.
Can the assessment extend to ward stock?
Yes. The process can be assessed from supplier through storage and picking to the ward, operating theatre or functional unit, including Kanban, VMI, unit dose, returns, expiry and traceability.
Does tiger.PHARMA replace pharmaceutical decisions by the hospital pharmacy?
No. Data and processes prepare decisions. Pharmaceutical, medical and therapeutic approvals remain with the authorised professionals and committees.
