Executives said these capabilities\u2014already embedded in logistics, prior authorization, and specialty-drug access\u2014are becoming central to how McKesson handles growing pharmaceutical complexity.<\/p>\n<p>The company reported 10% revenue growth in the quarter to $103 billion and lifted its full-year outlook. But the most striking themes were the investments that don\u2019t show up directly in revenue lines: automated warehouses, AI-supported affordability programs and analytics, and machine-driven workflows that are streamlining everything from prior authorizations to cold-chain management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have made focused and significant investments in automation to support the growing complexity in supply chain management,\u201d CEO Brian Tyler told analysts. \u201cThese investments improve operating efficiency, enhance customer experience and unlock productivity in our workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chief financial officer (CFO) Britt Vitalone added that the combination of automation, AI-enabled tools, and modernization efforts directly shaped quarterly performance, saying the company\u2019s results reflect \u201cour unrelenting focus on cost discipline and operational efficiency, powered by a technology-first mindset and AI-driven modernization.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>AI and Automation in Distribution: Cutting Human Touchpoints by 75%<\/h2>\n<p>McKesson is rolling out automated order storage and retrieval systems across its North American facilities\u2014technology that deeply reduces manual handling of products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt our U.S. national redistribution center,\u201d Tyler said, \u201cwhat would have normally taken eight physical human touches to complete a pick, pack and ship process now only takes two.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative; width: 100%; height: 0px; padding: 100% 0px 0px; overflow: hidden; will-change: transform;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0px; left: 0px; border: none; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\" title=\"Copy: Copy: Grainger\" src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/_\/hKNxBp3HGGqn7IEt5Syd?src=embed&amp;embed_type=responsive_iframe\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The company argues these systems not only improve accuracy and fulfillment speed but also lighten the physical burden on warehouse workers. These tools also support the expanded flow of specialty drugs, which require more precise handling.<\/p>\n<p>McKesson also hit a major federal compliance milestone under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act: the live exchange of serialized drug data across its network. Tyler said the transition required deep technical coordination. \u201cWe maintained exceptional service-level accuracy with almost no disruption,\u201d he noted, calling it an example of AI- and data-enabled operational resilience.<\/p>\n<h2>AI in Prescription Technology: Prior Authorization Demand Surges<\/h2>\n<p>McKesson\u2019s Prescription Technology Solutions segment posted some of its strongest growth as payers tightened controls around high-cost therapies, especially GLP-1 medications. AI-enabled tools now support much of the company\u2019s access and affordability work.<\/p>\n<p>Vitalone highlighted the role of AI-enhanced workflows, particularly in prior authorization: \u201cWe are seeing more growth in our technology services components, and that is really all of the things you mentioned,\u201d he told analysts. \u201cThere are new products and programs, and we\u2019re certainly seeing growth in some of our access programs like prior authorizations, particularly for GLP-1.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The division processes 23 billion transactions a year, linking about 1 million providers and more than 50,000 pharmacies. These workflows increasingly rely on automated decisioning, error detection, and routing. Executives said the company will increase technological investment in the second half of the year to support additional AI-enabled features.<\/p>\n<p>Vitalone said growth in the segment is being propelled by \u201cstrong organic volume growth and momentum across our access and affordability solutions,\u201d and he emphasized that AI is now woven into these workflows to improve speed and accuracy.<\/p>\n<h2>AI and Data Infrastructure for Oncology and Cell and Gene Therapy<\/h2>\n<p>In specialty care and oncology, McKesson is building AI-driven platforms to support emerging therapies\u2014an area with complex data demands.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler pointed to new capabilities around cell and gene therapies, which require precise data handling, logistics orchestration, and patient-case tracking. The company launched InspiroCare, a support hub designed to guide patients through therapy initiation and monitoring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn August, we launched InspiroCare, a patient hub designed to simplify the complex journey of cell and gene therapies and provide personalized, compassionate support,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>McKesson also opened a dedicated cold-chain facility with cryogenic and ultra-frozen storage. While the company did not specify AI models used there, Tyler said the site is equipped with technology \u201cspecifically designed for the unique requirements of these medications,\u201d which industry analysts describe as increasingly reliant on sensor-driven monitoring, predictive alerts, and compliance automation.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s oncology platform\u2014anchored by The US Oncology Network\u2014also uses data and analytics tools to help community providers manage treatment protocols, clinical trials, and operational performance.<\/p>\n<h2>AI as a Margin Driver<\/h2>\n<p>All three of McKesson\u2019s core segments\u2014North American Pharmaceuticals, oncology and multispecialty, and prescription technology\u2014registered operating margin expansion. Vitalone attributed part of that margin lift to AI-enabled service mix:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe saw good mix in the Rx technology business,\u201d he said. \u201cThe mix from those technology services is driving more margin growth in that segment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Executives said the combination of automation, AI-supported services, and disciplined cost management helped push Q2 operating profit up 26% to a record $1.6 billion.<\/p>\n<h2>A Technology-First Trajectory<\/h2>\n<p>The company gave no indication it plans to slow technology spending. Vitalone cautioned that investment levels will rise in the second half of the year: \u201cWe do anticipate a higher level of investments in the second half of the year,\u201d including for new AI-enabled services.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler cast these investments as long-term commitments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese growth investments have been part of the algorithm for many, many years,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s measured against opportunities to continue to innovate, to expand the markets we can go after, and support our future growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AI remains threaded through this strategy. It is supporting warehouse robotics, automating administrative blockers in patient access, and enabling new specialty-therapy services that the company believes will shape its next wave of growth.<\/p>\n<p>As Vitalone put it: \u201cOur technology-first mindset and AI-driven modernization continues to create value for all stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.distributionstrategy.com\/subscribe\/\">Don\u2019t miss any content from Distribution Strategy Group.
