Customer

The customer builds advanced patient engagement, financial management, and population health technology solutions that enable retail pharmacies to improve their patients’ health while ensuring the long-term health of their business.

Business Challenge

Customer needed a better way to manage the rising complexity of medication dispensing across hospitals. Some major hurdles included:

  • 40% of hospital readmissions are linked to medication-related problems.
  • Over 75% of pharmacy staff time is spent on non-clinical, manual tasks.
  • Disconnected workflows slowing down medication availability.
  • Increasing medication shortages, putting patient safety at risk.

It was clear that customer needed a faster, smarter, and more connected data backbone to move toward its vision of an autonomous pharmacy.

    WinWire Solution

    Customer partnered with WinWire to modernize their platform — putting Azure Databricks at the heart of the transformation.

    Here’s how Databricks turned things around

    • Real-time Data Processing: Using Scala-based data pipelines on Databricks, customer built a powerful metadata-driven engine that processed transaction streams coming in via Kafka. Medication transactions were captured, enriched, and serialized into PostgreSQL databases in near real-time.
    • Smart Data Enrichment: Databricks notebooks pulled in additional insights — like pricing, facility, and department mapping — connecting fragmented data points into a complete, actionable view for each transaction.
    • Inventory Intelligence and Optimization: Real-time dashboards, powered by Databricks, offered predictive insights on stock-outs, benchmarked cabinet usage, and flagged safety standards — giving pharmacy teams critical visibility before issues arose.
    • Seamless Integration: Downstream, .Net Core-based microservices and Angular applications made this enriched data instantly accessible across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices — enabling clinicians and pharmacists to act faster and smarter.

    With Databricks at its core, customer has built a future-ready, resilient, and intelligent medication management platform—redefining healthcare operations and patient safety for the years ahead.

    Business Value

    • Reduced dispensing errors to 0%.
    • Medication ordering speed improved by 83%.
    • Pharmacy storage capacity increased by up to 300%.
    • Advanced the journey toward an autonomous, zero-error pharmacy system.
