Custom mobile app - similar to Be Well app - but not the clone

App cloning is not what we do. We define a unique feature set, workflow and UI.

To give you a basic idea of the ‘custom app’ we are talking about, just sharing how a custom mobile app for your pharmacy will look like and the features it will have.

❖User features your app will have:

• Drug/Product Search: Users can search for drugs and any other product you are selling online also by applying several filters. (The app gets drug info because of the integration with drug directories.)
• Prescription Uploading: Users can scan the prescription and upload it to not search the drug manually and add it in the cart.
• Order Tracking: Users can track the order he has placed.
• Medication Reminder: Users get automatic reminders about medicine.
• Automatic Refills: The app automatically calculates the days a dose lasts and order it if it is about to run out. Manual refilling is also supported.
• Reward Program: Based on the online and offline purchases, the user can earn and redeem points.
• Personalized Offers: The app analyzes a users’ buying pattern and automatically suggests offers that lie under his interest area. This increases sales!

Few other most common features include payment, profile, order history, login and signup.

❖Admin features your app will have:

• Customer Service: All customer queries get stored in one place with status and the name of the customer executive who is handling that query.
• Order Management: Admin can access all orders, status and other important order details.
• Compliance Management: Keep track of compliance that requires to be completed.
• Inventory Management: With just a single click, you can know the available stock of products you are selling. (It gets updated automatically.)

If that’s how excited you are, let me take it to the next level by sharing the screenshots of the pharmacy app we’ve recently developed.

Still here? Let me make your visit more valuable by sharing a powerful new pharmacy business strategy

You must be familiar with the news that Shoppers Drug Mart has recently invested $75 million in Canada's most popular telemedicine platform - Maple.

But do you know why they are partnering? Here is where the powerful business strategy hides.

Telemedicine becomes extremely popular among Canadians.

Thus, all hospitals, clinics and even pharmacies are adopting telemedicine platforms.

With the help of Maple, Shoppers Drug Mart has started offering telemedicine services from its more than 160 stores in British Columbia.

You can follow the same strategy.

And since you are already planning to develop an app for pharmacy, it is a perfect opportunity for you to integrate telemedicine functionality in the same app.

This will provide one-stop healthcare services to users.

You must also be aware of PocketPills. It also recently started the telemedicine program from its online pharmacy app.

We can easily develop a custom PHIPA/PIPEDA/HIPAA compliant app for your pharmacy with built-in telemedicine capabilities and with Kroll integration.

So, let's have a productive discussion.
