Update Acquisition Costs Automatically

Are you manually updating drug prices from invoices to maintain pricing your pharmacy software system? Pharmsaver has been working with PMS vendors to create system interfaces including Pioneer, Liberty and most recently Micro Merchants. Having an interface automatically update drug prices increases accuracy while not adding additional staff time. Our pharmacist’s say it best:

How important is it running your pharmacy to have up to date accurate margins?

Using an automated process helps you get the increased workflow efficiency and a more streamlined ordering process.

Did You Know?

PharmSaver Loves Chains!

Yes, it's true. PharmSaver loves pharmacy chains and they love PharmSaver. It’s a great relationship. Whether your chain has three stores or thirty, PharmSaver makes it easy to control ordering and get rolled up reporting.

Each pharmacy within a chain can have a separate login or the chain can have users allowed to login for all stores. PharmSaver even makes it possible for a pharmacy to add items to their cart and a chain purchasing supervisor review the cart prior to checkout.

If your chain has a person that orders for all stores, PharmSaver can handle that too where the pharmacy can login and look but only the chain can add item into the cart.

With PharmSaver chains get to control the wholesalers that a pharmacy can order from. Do you like wholesaler A and B but don’t want to purchase from C? It’s easily done with the Chain Manage Wholesalers page.

Chain users get to see all store orders and notifications so they can quickly see order and shipping status.

Have a chain and like what you see? Contact PharmSaver at 516-374-0920 and we will get you setup right away.

Tech Tip

Oops! Did you just close that tab on your web browser?

That always happens when you expect it least. Maybe you were on PharmSaver’ cart page and getting ready to checkout at 5:58pm – right before cutoff - and you have five tabs open on your web browser. Well, now you have four open.

Thankfully the major web browser developers (Google, Mozilla, Apple, Microsoft) made it easy to recover. If you are using a PC use Ctrl + Shift + T. On a Macintosh use Command + Shift + T.

Your browser tab should restore within a second. Go ahead and give it a try.
