The redesigned Order Express experience has yielded significant results, including improved productivity for community pharmacists due to streamlined features and a user-friendly interface. This enhancement has also fostered increased loyalty among pharmacy customers, who appreciate the personalized features and simplified ordering process.
Additionally, the product redesign has led to noticeable increases in purchase increments, as pharmacists can now make more informed decisions with real-time access to product information. The platform's improved functionality has resulted in reduced call center volume, as pharmacists can navigate independently.
Furthermore, the introduction of new features has opened up new revenue streams for the company, such as premium subscription packages or access to exclusive product offerings, providing added value to pharmacy customers.
