Project Overview

Book icon

Intuitive inventory management for pharmacies

StockRx is designed for independent pharmacy groups to track deliveries and analyze the profitability of dispensary stock securely and in real-time.

Target icon

Industry challenges

Pharmacies face significant challenges in managing complex inventories, which involve handling a vast range of products with different expiration dates, storage needs, and regulatory requirements. Ensuring the right medications are in stock while minimizing waste and expired products necessitates a robust inventory management system.

Maintaining optimal inventory levels and preventing stockouts or overstock situations require advanced real-time monitoring and control systems. These systems must provide up-to-date information and alerts to ensure timely restocking.

Enhancing operational efficiency is crucial to reduce costs and improve service delivery. This involves streamlining workflows, minimizing manual data entry, and ensuring staff have quick access to necessary information.

Client's challenge

The client faced several significant challenges in expanding StockRx's reach and securing necessary funding.

Firstly, they needed to ensure the application could seamlessly integrate with the existing systems used by various pharmacies, which often differed in terms of technology and processes.

Secondly, the client had to address the need for real-time data accuracy and reliability, essential for pharmacists managing critical inventory. Additionally, enhancing the machine learning technology for scanning templates was vital to improving user experience and operational efficiency.

Without these improvements, the client risked falling short of market expectations and losing potential investment opportunities.
