PHARMACY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE Q&A

Q
Bob Bates, COO/President
Q. What are the advantages of a cloud-
based pharmacy management system?
Modern technology is all about efficiency and speed, and
a cloud-based pharmacy management system gives you
competitive advantages. Backups are performed for you
because you have a second active application, which provides
high availability. There is no need to worry about security and
malware — that’s all taken care of for you, too. The advanced
software architecture allows for faster development cycles —
enhancements, new features, and fixes are pushed to your
pharmacy management system consistently, with no effort on
your end. Your entire customer experience is elevated.
Q. How does a cloud-based pharmacy
management system help cut hardware costs?
It cuts costs in several ways:
• No need for on-premises servers: The software is hosted on
the cloud provider’s servers, which means the pharmacy
doesn’t have to invest in expensive server hardware that
typically needs to be replaced every three to five years.
• Reduced need for local storage: Pharmacy management
software requires a large amount of storage space for patient
information, medication records, and other important data.
• Lower maintenance costs: The cloud provider takes
care of regular updates and maintenance, reducing the
pharmacy’s costs.
• Accessibility: Login from any device with an internet
connection, so you may not need to purchase expensive
desktop computers or laptops for every staff member.
Q. How does the design of a cloud-based
pharmacy management system help you
save time?
The software includes automated workflows that streamline
repetitive tasks such as prescription processing, inventory
management, and billing. This saves time and reduces errors.
Cloud-based software also provides real-time data that can
help pharmacists and staff make informed decisions quicker.
They can check the availability of a medication, review patient
records, or verify insurance information without having to
leave the system to access other sources. The user-friendly and
intuitive design makes it easier for pharmacists and staff to
find information, which creates a more efficient workflow and
ultimately leads to better patient care.
Q. Does the tech support of a cloud-based
pharmacy management system provide
reliable, timely assistance?
That varies depending on the provider. Factors such as multiple
support channels (phone, email, live chat, etc.) help ensure
customers can reach out for assistance in a way that works best
for them. But having a cloud-based system allows version control,
which reduces the need for support escalations. When support is
needed, having a cloud-based system allows us to address your
questions more seamlessly. Plus, having intuitive software makes
for quick support staff training. Bottom line, our use of modern
technology allows us to maintain our applications in a secure,
stable environment to be ready for our customers.
Q. How does a cloud-based pharmacy
management system provide business insight
to each pharmacy to help grow their business?
Dashboards can help pharmacies identify trends and patterns
in their business. For example, sales data can identify which
products are selling well and which ones are not — helping
you make informed decisions about which products to stock
and how to price them. Another benefit concerns inventory —
providing real-time updates on stock levels and reorder points,
which can help avoid stockouts and overstocking. Overall, a
cloud-based pharmacy management system provides real-time
data analytics, inventory management, customer management,
financial reporting, and compliance tracking so you can grow
your business over time. Imagine a system where you can
