The Future of Retail Pharmacy is Online
Online pharmacies cannot replace brick-and-mortar pharmacies, but the brick-and-mortar pharmacies with an online pharmacy will definitely replace the traditional ones. It’s been two years since the online pharmacy regulation in Nigeria came into effect and since then at least 40 new online pharmacies have emerged, according to a report by Salient Advisory.
Unlike traditional pharmacies where you can only serve patients in your location, with an online pharmacy, you can be located in Lagos and be actively delivering medication to a patient in Abuja. Most of the time, this happens because the patient can’t find the medication within their vicinity but if you are online, they can easily find you, then you can make a sale.
After about 7 years of helping pharmacies come online some of the challenges that discourage pharmacies range from daily management of their website, managing their inventory online, marketing to get new customers, and above all, payment and logistics.
It is one thing to create an online pharmacy website for your pharmacy, and it is a different thing entirely to run it and make it successful. Which is why we created VirtualRx.ng. Our mission is to dedicate our existence to supporting pharmacies and enabling them to come online.
With our cloud inventory solution, you can use one software for your Point of Sale (it works offline and online) and at the same time use the same software to manage your online pharmacy website. This way, you are not bothered about changing prices and quantity. Whatever you have changed once would reflect in your pharmacy stock as well as your website. Your orders online would also reflect on your inventory software.
You can also integrate with our logistics and payment infrastructure. We would take the burden off you and ensure you get results. All you have to worry about is running your pharmacy and packaging your orders when you get a new sale. Our goal is to create prosperity for pharmacies.
There is no better time to start your online pharmacy than now. You can send us an email at support@virtualrx.com.ng or WhatsApp/call us at 09124453515
