Our take
Inefficiencies in the drug supply chain can have huge knock-on effects for businesses and patients. Waltz Health solves this problem by developing tools to modernize the pharmaceutical supply chain.
Waltz Health's primary product is a marketplace search function that allows users to find the cheapest drugs available. With demand for more affordable medication soaring, Waltz Health's simple, software-driven solutions have proven appealing.
Waltz Health's focus remains on working with, rather than against, the existing pharmaceutical supply chain. The company's commitment to consumers, pharmacies and suppliers will help to ensure that it remains as profitable and scalable as possible.
