AI Technology to Automate Prescription In-Take, Improve Processing Accuracy and Reduce Costs as Fulfillment Volume Grows

HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla., April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NextPlat Corp (NASDAQ: NXPL, NXPLW) (“NextPlat” or the “Company”), a global consumer products and services company providing healthcare and technology solutions through e-commerce and retail channels worldwide, today announced that its PharmcoRx subsidiary has deployed state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI)-powered prescription in-take and processing technology into its pharmacy management system. This AI technology will support PharmcoRx as it seeks to improve the efficiency of its medication fulfillment processes as it expands the scale and scope of its offerings.

To provide improved prescription management and fulfilment services to customers while scaling to meet the anticipated growth in new contracted clients, the AI-powered software tools enable the rapid automation of previously manual processes including pharmacy data entry, faxing and refill management, creating fully-HIPAA compliant digital workflows. The AI software is being provided by an established pharmacy technology software vendor with a large installed base of clients in the U.S. and Canada and is undergoing capability enhancements led by PharmcoRx’s internal digital transformation team. The enhanced AI software is expected to drive significant efficiency gains and cost reductions across the Company’s pharmacy operations.

Birute Norkute, Vice President of Healthcare Operations at NextPlat, said, “At PharmcoRx, we continue to embrace the adoption of modern technology across our pharmacy operations because it can positively impact critical workflows, greatly improve efficiency, accuracy and reduce costs. As we now seek to rapidly expand our services and introduce new, high-value offerings, we believe the adoption of AI into our prescription processing workflows will enable us to more effectively scale our business while delivering greater value to our customers and patients.”

The adoption of AI technology has been an important part of NextPlat’s ongoing efforts to improve internal operational efficiencies and has been integrated into its recently upgraded ClearMetrX 4.0, the Company’s next generation, proprietary healthcare data analytics and reporting software platform. ClearMetrX 4.0 has now been deployed internally and is currently undergoing beta testing by current clients.
