QuicksortRx, a software-enabled service company that provides pharmacy supply chain management solutions for health systems, will grow its corporate headquarters with an expansion in Charleston County.

The $220,000 investment will create 41 new jobs over the next three years, according to a news release.

The company is moving from its current location at the Charleston Tech Center to a larger, 4,000-square-foot facility at 2 Cumberland St. in Charleston. The new facility will accommodate employee growth and allow QuicksortRx to host on-site conferences for customers.

“Charleston is an amazing city to live and work in,” QuicksortRx co-founder and CEO Jonathan Yantis said in the release. “I’m lucky to call this my hometown, and we couldn’t ask for a better place to grow a company. It also helps that talented people want to move here." 

Initially created at the Medical University of South Carolina, QuicksortRx helps health systems streamline pharmaceutical market analysis to reduce the cost of quality health care, the release stated. The platform unifies purchase, cost and compliance information to simplify supply chain management and ensure hospitals secure medications at the best price. 

“Congratulations to QuicksortRx on their remarkable journey of growth and success. This expansion is a testament to their dedication, innovation, and unwavering commitment to improving healthcare through technology,” Charleston County Council Chairman Herbert Ravenel Sass III said in the release. QuicksortRx, born from the Medical University of South Carolina and nurtured within the Charleston Digital Corridor, has not only expanded its physical space but also the boundaries of what's possible in health care.”

Operations are expected to be online in December 2023.

“The growing presence of QuicksortRx in Charleston County displays their commitment to modernization and technological advancement,” Charleston County Economic Development Executive Director Steve Dykes said in the release. “The company's focus on healthcare efficiency and ingenuity aligns with the broader goal of improving the quality of healthcare services in the region and across the country."
