Top Rx

What Top Rx does

TopRx, LLC is a privately held, VAWD-accredited national distributor of generic pharmaceuticals, branded drugs, OTC products, vitamins, and medical supplies, headquartered in Bartlett, Tennessee and operating continuously since 1987. The company distributes more than 5,000 SKUs from two distribution centers in Memphis, TN and Bethlehem, PA, achieving a reported 99.9% next-day order fill rate for orders placed before 9pm ET and shipping to all 50 states daily with refrigerated overnight capability for cold-chain items. TopRx states that 50% of independent pharmacies nationwide are its customers, and it also serves Group Purchasing Organizations, long-term care pharmacies, correctional facilities, and physician clinics — a deliberately diversified set of healthcare distribution verticals built around a core independent-pharmacy anchor.

TopRx's commercial platform is a multi-channel B2B ordering and distribution stack rather than a single software product. The primary surface is the b2b.toprx.com ecommerce portal, which supports 24/7 ordering, invoice management, ACH and credit card payment processing, scheduled and automated payments, and shipment tracking. The company also offers full EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) for enterprise customers with dedicated IT integration support, phone-based ordering through dedicated account managers and a customer service line (800-542-8677) staffed 9am–9pm ET weekdays and 11am–3pm ET Saturdays, and email/fax order intake. For DEA-regulated Schedule II controlled substances, TopRx integrates Express222's web-based Controlled Substance Ordering System (CSOS), which uses digital certificates to transmit CII orders electronically in place of paper Form 222. The company is 100% DSCSA Pedigree Compliant and exposes pedigree data to customers via order and item history searches, satisfying the supply-chain traceability requirements that became mandatory under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act.

TopRx generates revenue through transactional product sales of generic and branded pharmaceuticals, OTC products, and medical supplies, priced on a unit basis with a $150 minimum order for generic products and same-day dollar-matching rules between brand and generic items. The go-to-market motion combines enterprise field sales (dedicated account managers who proactively manage relationships across phone, text, chat, and email) with inside sales, self-serve ecommerce, and EDI/API-first integration, allowing the company to serve both long-tail SMB independent pharmacies and larger enterprise accounts from a single infrastructure. The company is independently owned, has no disclosed institutional investors, and reports no external funding rounds or M&A activity. Leadership includes CEO Daniel H. Movens, founder Kenny King, and Data Protection Officer Brian Able; the company employs between 51 and 100 people.
