Sterile compounding workflows require consistency, verification, and clear documentation at every step. Yet many pharmacy teams still rely on fragmented systems, manual processes, and disconnected records to manage preparation workflows.
We’re excited to introduce Pestle Formulas, our new Intravenous Workflow Management System (IVWMS) designed to help pharmacy teams standardize compounding workflows, verify preparation steps, and maintain inspection-ready documentation.
Pestle Formulas is built for hospital pharmacies, health systems, and specialty pharmacy compounding operations that need structured workflows and defensible records for compounded preparations.
Many compounding environments still rely on fragmented documentation processes, paper records, spreadsheets, or disconnected systems to manage preparation workflows. While teams work hard to maintain consistency, manual processes can create challenges around ingredient verification, preparation documentation, batch tracking, and pharmacist oversight. When inspections or internal reviews occur, retrieving complete records quickly can become difficult.
Pestle Formulas brings these workflows together into a centralized process that supports the full preparation lifecycle—from formulation definition through preparation and pharmacist verification. The system helps pharmacies create standardized Master Formulation Records (MFRs) that define ingredients, preparation steps, documentation requirements, and workflow expectations across the organization.
From there, compounders are guided through structured preparation workflows that support ingredient verification, photo-based documentation, and step-level tracking throughout the compounding process. Pharmacists maintain visibility into verification workflows with customizable QA processes and preparation-level documentation designed to support operational review and inspection readiness.
We’ve organized the platform around a simple operational model:
Create. Prepare. Approve.
Create standardized formulations and preparation requirements. Prepare compounded medications through guided workflows with clear documentation and verification steps. Approve preparations with complete visibility into the compounding record and supporting QA documentation.
Pestle Formulas also provides pharmacy leadership with centralized oversight into compounding activity through searchable preparation records, reporting tools, batch tracking, and inventory-related documentation. The web-based platform is designed to work with standard barcode scanners and tablet devices commonly used in pharmacy cleanroom environments, allowing teams to implement structured workflows without requiring highly specialized hardware.
The platform is designed to support compounding environments operating under USP <795>, USP <797>, USP <800>, and applicable state board requirements, while remaining focused on practical daily workflow execution for pharmacy teams.
