Pharmaceutical Group Purchasing Solutions | Morris & Dickson

Contract management for GPOs

Morris & Dickson leverages its scale and operational efficiency to support contract management and distribution services for Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs).

A combination of trusted partnerships, centralized business operations, and high-volume inventory supports reliable contract execution. M&D works proactively with manufacturers to verify contract pricing ahead of effective dates, helping reduce bill-backs and improve pricing accuracy for pharmacies.

The M&D GPO difference

As the largest independent full-line pharmaceutical distributor, Morris & Dickson brings industry-leading experience in procurement, pharmacy operations, and health system management. M&D’s 180+ year reputation is built on trust and relationships, supporting GPOs with savings, efficiencies, and operational leverage.

Scale

M&D has long-standing relationships with over a thousand manufacturers and the leverage of a company with more than $7 billion in annual sales, supported by centralized inventory that provides breadth and depth of product for customers.

Availability

A 450,000-square-foot automated distribution center in Shreveport, along with additional capacity through the Olive Branch, Mississippi facility, supports one of the industry’s largest single-site inventories and enables reliable next-day delivery in most cases.

Accuracy

Over 90% of order lines are picked through automation, resulting in an error rate of just 1 in 60,000—far outpacing the industry rate of 1 in 6,000.
