# Compound Direct

> Compound Direct is a cloud-based compounding pharmacy software platform that simplifies pharmaceutical compounding, reduces risk, and streamlines workflows for compounding pharmacies. Built in Australia, it serves pharmacies globally with a unique strength-first calculation system.

## About

Compound Direct is purpose-built software for compounding pharmacies. Unlike legacy desktop systems, it is fully cloud-based and works on any device with a browser. The platform covers the entire compounding workflow: ingredient management, formulation creation, dispensing, risk assessment, label printing, integrated balance weighing, inventory control, and customer communication via SMS.

Its core differentiator is the **strength-first calculation system**, which ensures patients receive the prescribed dose regardless of which combination of ingredient batches are used. This approach, combined with barcode verification, predictive label checking, and automated risk assessment steps, significantly reduces compounding errors and waste.
