A Pharma distributor created a B2B e-commerce application using FeldsparTech's low-code platform
A pharma distributor wanted to use technology to bring in efficiencies and pass on the benefits to its retail pharmacists. The distributor wanted to cut down on paperwork and the times required to fulfill orders. FeldsparTech helped him created a B2B e-commerce application using Atman.
CUSTOMER
A large pharma distributor
A pharmaceutical distributor with operations in western India supplying to more than 5000 retail store.
CHALLENGES
Paper-based process | Manual Process | Longer to fulfill orders
Our customer was using paper-based order taking. A representative of our customer would visit the pharamacies and write down orders on paper.
Then the pharmacies would make payments through online banking, bank cheque or a payment gateway.
The process was disconnected. The pharmacies could not track order.
Our customer did not have a real time and unified view of orders or pending payments.
Also the manual process was prone to errors. The customers often complained of lack of visibility of the progress in fulfilling the order.
As the process was manual it could not scale up. Also, it was inefficient and the end customers did not get any benefits of cost savings.
REQUIREMENTS
Simple System | Flexible to Changes| Easy to Maintain
Our Customer wanted a system:
-
Where pharmacies could enter their orders
-
Since the pharmacists were making transition from paper to a system, the system had to be easy to operate
-
Simple to operate, easy to understand and flexible for changes.
-
To be built within a few months and at a reasonable cost.
-
That was easy to maintain and did not require expensive tech experts.
-
Needed to have the ability to integrate with manufacturer's systems, payment gateway and existing applications for authentication.
-
That guided account reps to follow-up with customers regularly.
