Pharmacy Stars and Sonicu ink a partnership agreement focused on blending two compliance-focused technologies

ATLANTA, Feb. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharmaceutical leaders working in compounding pharmacies searching for a simple affordable compliance solution can deploy a powerful new tool thanks to a partnership between two of the leaders in pharmacy compliance technology.

Pharmacy Stars and Sonicu today announced a partnership at AHR Expo aimed at making compliance even easier.

Sonicu customers from across healthcare, life sciences and laboratories rely on Sonicu for intuitive and affordable temperature and environmental monitoring. Sonic and GGT Energy Solutions are introducing a new BMS integration system at booth C515t at the AHR Expo in Atlanta this week. The wireless integration allows data to move from the edge to the cloud via BACnet or Modbus communication protocols.

"Our software integration will allow Pharmacy Stars customers to complete more of their compliance requirements in less time while also enjoying the benefits of Sonicu's alarming," said Joe Mundell, Chief Revenue Officer, Sonicu.

The technology integration will be focused on temperature and environmental monitoring as well as competency and trending reports for Board of Pharmacy audits.

"Certainty of environmental parameters is critical to the quality of compounded sterile preparations. We are thrilled to partner with Sonicu to provide certainty, without the workload, by connecting our technologies and eliminating the manual process of data reading and recording by pharmacy technicians," Said Keith Streckenbach, CEO, Pharmacy Stars.

"Autologging and trending the EM data alongside the quality control activity makes it much easier for pharmacy managers to identify ways to improve quality continuously."

The integration is simple in delivery and powerful in the result.

It will allow customers who leverage both solutions to access their Sonicu temperature and environmental data from the Compounding360 platform.

Environmental data can include

Ambient temperature and humidity
Air pressure differential
The temperature of Refrigeration and Freezers
Almost any other condition via a third-party, 420 mA sensor
