Pharmacies are the last-mile buyer in a $1.35T drug market, and they buy manually.

Procurement is the largest unreformed cost in pharmacy. Pharmacists spend up to 15 hours a week calling wholesalers for quotes. Stockouts cost ~3% of revenue. Expiry write-offs consume 2 to 4% of inventory value annually. In a $1.35T drug market, that is billions in avoidable loss.

Fey runs semi-autonomous procurement: flagging stockouts before they happen, sending RFQs, comparing supplier quotes, placing orders against an approved policy, and reconciling deliveries against the PO. Pharmacies on Fey reclaim up to 30% of the losses driven by manual buying: stockouts, overstock, expiry write-offs, and the hours pharmacists spend buying instead of dispensing.

Systems of record tell pharmacies what left the shelf. Fey tells them what to order next.

Four structural advantages. Competitors can't quickly buy or build these.

i.
Built-in distribution

1,029 pharmacies live on the infrastructure across 47+ cities. 6,500 in active pipeline via personal networks, pharmacy buying groups, and supplier partnerships.

ii.
Connector-first architecture

RxSymphony, our integration layer, connects Fey to 20+ pharmacy management systems: Dispensary, TitanPMR, RxManager, PioneerRx, mSupply, even spreadsheets.

iii.
Pharmacist-founded domain moat

Over a decade experience in pharma supply chain, coordinating market entry and navigating regulatory hurdles. Previously built a digital pharmacy for chronic illnesses with an 85% refill rate, and established active relationships with pharmacies across 47+ cities.

iv.
The wholesaler firewall

McKesson, Cencora, and Cardinal Health control ~90% of US distribution. Their margins depend on the information asymmetry Fey eliminates. Supplier-agnostic recommendation is what pharmacies trust, and what makes a wholesaler acquisition self-defeating.

We are not starting from zero.

Unit Economics: 5-branch independent chain

Commission (60% of $500K drug spend × 1%) $3,000 / yr
Year-2 ACV per chain $12,540

A 20-branch enterprise chain on the same model: $50,160 ACV ($38,160 subscription + $12,000 commission on $2M drug spend at 60% routing). Subscription scales with branches. Commission scales with autonomy. Embedded finance origination becomes a third stream from the same data asset: procurement data underwrites inventory financing, working capital, and supplier terms. No new sales motion.

From $1M raise to 6,500 pharmacies.
