Simplify inventory management through connectivity

Connectivity is the ability to exchange purchasing, order and invoice data electronically between your compatible systems and McKesson, helping to reduce manual entry and disconnected workflows.

Instead of logging into multiple supplier portals, your team transacts directly within your existing platform (ERP, EHR or procurement system), with data flowing seamlessly between systems.

Connect through your preferred platform

Healthcare organizations are increasingly exploring integrated procurement solutions that help enable:

  • Automated procure-to-pay workflows
  • Reduced manual processes
  • Improved spend visibility
  • Centralized purchasing across vendors

McKesson supports integration with many ERP, EHR, and procurement tools.

Ask your account team about integration with your existing platforms.

We continue to invest in scalable connectivity to support evolving procurement strategies and long-term growth.

McKesson Connectivity API Gateway

The McKesson Connectivity API Gateway enables near real-time integration capabilities between your compatible systems and McKesson, helping ordering, inventory and invoicing data move quickly. APIs help reduce potential delays associated with batch processing, help improve visibility, support data accuracy and help enhance responsiveness. Designed to scale based on organizational needs, the API Gateway supports modern integration strategies while reducing reliance on manual processes and legacy file exchanges.
