Such merchants have reorganized their operations and provided new value-added services for customers through the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). In addition to performing intermediate distribution, they have also intensified logistics functions for pharmaceutical manufacturers and pharmacies. Because drug wholesalers need to meet the local needs of specific regions when introducing ICT, the technology is not implemented in all areas. The results of this survey on drug wholesalers highlight the balance between the potential for expanding geographic reach and practicing local specialization. Cet article analyse le rôle des grossistes en médicaments dans la fourniture de produits de santé au Japon. Ces derniers mobilisent les technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) pour offrir une plus-value à leurs clients. Les TIC leur permettent notamment de renforcer la relation logistique vis-à-vis des pharmacies comme des laboratoires pharmaceutiques. Ces pratiques logistiques ne se sont pas étendues à l’ensemble du territoire car les grossistes en médicaments doivent répondre aux besoins locaux de régions moins bien équipées. Les résultats de ce travail sur les grossistes en médicaments mettent en évidence le potentiel des téléactivités pour étendre la portée géographique de telles pratiques et la nécessité de continuer les anciennes méthodes pour les régions les plus isolées.
