Pearson Medical Technologies

What Pearson Medical Technologies does

Pearson Medical Technologies, LLC is a privately held pharmacy automation company headquartered in Alexandria, Louisiana, that designs and sells equipment and software for unit dose medication packaging and bar code labeling. The company was founded in 1996 by Brent Pearson and positions itself as having over 50 years of experience in pharmacy automation. Its product portfolio centers on the iPack Rx tablet-top unit dose packager, supported by the m:Print v4 Bar Code Labeling Software with proprietary 1-Click Print technology, the SafeSealRx heat press for blister card sealing, and two automated feeders: the patented intelliCount universal vacuum-based feeder and the flood-fill FillinSTATION. clearTag thermal transfer labels are sold as consumables for syringes, vials, and ampoules.

The company serves three primary pharmacy segments: hospitals and healthcare systems, long-term care facilities, and retail pharmacies. Customer pain points addressed include high prescription volumes, medication errors, DSCSA regulatory compliance, and pharmacy workforce shortages. Its core revenue mechanics combine hardware unit sales (iPack Rx, SafeSealRx, feeders), recurring or consumable sales (clearTag labels, m:Print software licensing), and direct enterprise sales supported by an authorized pharmacy automation supplies distributor. The go-to-market motion is consultative field sales, with quote-based pricing gated behind "Get A Quote" and "Schedule A Demo" CTAs, supplemented by trade show presence at Health Connect Partners, ASHP Midyear Clinical, and Joint Federal Pharmacy, plus PR distribution and social media.

In late 2024 the company achieved two strategically meaningful milestones: the release of m:Print v4 with full 2D DSCSA barcode utilization (October 2024) and CE/UK certification of the iPack Rx system (December 2024), opening European and UK markets. The company operates with 1-10 employees and has no disclosed parent company, no venture capital rounds on record beyond a single small 2014 financing, and no publicly reported revenue.
