Datarithm Expands Liquidation Engine with InStockRx Integration

New marketplace integration joins Datarithm's existing Rx Direct Solutions partnership,

giving every item flagged as dead stock a clear path to recovered value — whether through manufacturer return or direct resale.

Datarithm, a leading provider of automated pharmacy inventory management, today announced an expansion of its Liquidation Engine through a new partnership with InStockRx, adding to its existing partnership with Rx Direct Solutions. Together, the two partnerships give Liquidation Engine two distinct recovery paths for dead stock — inventory that hasn't moved in four-plus months and no longer qualifies for wholesaler return or store-to-store transfer: manufacturer return, powered by Rx Direct Solutions, and direct marketplace resale, powered by InStockRx. “Independent pharmacies have never had a shortage of inventory data. What they've lacked is a simple way to act on it. Datarithm surfaces what's sitting still, RxDirect Solutions handles what qualifies to go back, and InStockRx connects the rest to a pharmacy that needs it. One workflow, and the value stays with the pharmacy instead of leaking out the back door,” stated Jeremy Froehner, Founder of InstockRx.

Pharmacy margins continue to face intense pressure from minimal reimbursements and rising operational costs. Managing pharmaceutical inventory efficiently has become a primary driver of financial survival. With this expansion, the Liquidation Engine now covers the full range of dead-stock outcomes from a single Datarithm screen:

    • Datarithm identifies which items are dead stock and determines eligibility for each recovery path.
    • Rx Direct Solutions handles manufacturer return: verifying return policy, providing a real-time NADAC-based credit estimate, and generating the paperwork needed to ship it back.
    • InStockRx provides a DSCSA-compliant marketplace for items not yet eligible for manufacturer return (or not a fit for it), letting pharmacies list — and buy — surplus inventory directly from other independent pharmacies, often at prices well below wholesaler cost.

"Our core mission at Datarithm has always been to give pharmacy owners control over their working capital through intelligent, automated inventory optimization," said Dave Belinski, President of Datarithm. "Rx Direct Solutions already gives us a transparent, faster path to manufacturer return credit. Adding InStockRx provides a potentially faster path to sell when the manufacturer return timeline is long. Between the two, there's no longer a category of dead stock our customers are stuck holding."

Key Benefits for Independent Pharmacies:

    • Automated Overstock Detection: Datarithm continually scans pharmacy management systems (PMS) to pinpoint slow-moving NDCs long before they reach expiration thresholds.
    • Two Clear Recovery Paths, One Platform: (1) Items eligible for manufacturer return route to Rx Direct Solutions; (2) items that aren't can be routed to the InStockRx marketplace – all without leaving Datarithm.
    • Buy, Not Just Sell: Pharmacies can also use the InStockRx integration to purchase surplus inventory listed by other pharmacies, often below wholesaler pricing.
    • Protected Operating Margins: Recaptured capital can be redeployed into growing the business or reducing debt.
