The pharmacy industry is changing, and technology is playing an increasingly important role in helping pharmacies work faster, manage stock more effectively and provide better service to patients.

As a current RxPRO partner in Namibia, Grans IT (Pty) Ltd is excited about the latest developments from ComputAssist Group. The latest RxPRO updates introduce new tools designed to make everyday pharmacy operations more mobile, connected and efficient.

From mobile stocktaking to online stock ordering and e-commerce integration, these new developments give independent pharmacies more ways to simplify their operations while creating opportunities for growth.

What’s New in RxPRO?

The latest RxPRO developments introduce four major additions:

1. PRO Pocket – Stocktaking in the Palm of Your Hand

Stocktaking can be one of the most time-consuming tasks in a pharmacy. PRO Pocket is designed to make the process easier by bringing stocktaking functionality to a mobile device.

Using a smartphone, pharmacy staff can perform stocktaking without being tied to a traditional workstation.

This can help pharmacies:

  • Make stocktaking more mobile and convenient
  • Improve the efficiency of stock counts
  • Reduce the amount of manual work involved
  • Give staff greater flexibility during stocktaking
  • Improve stock management accuracy

For busy pharmacies, having stock information and stocktaking functionality available on a mobile device can make a significant difference.

2. OrderDIRECT Web – Order Stock From Anywhere

Pharmacy owners and managers don’t always spend their entire day behind a computer in the dispensary.

With OrderDIRECT Web, stock orders can be placed and managed through a secure web-based platform from virtually anywhere. Whether you’re in the pharmacy, at home or meeting with a supplier, you can access your ordering environment when you need it.

The platform includes features such as secure web-based access, real-time notifications and responses, automatic updates and permission controls.

This gives pharmacy managers greater flexibility while helping streamline one of the most important parts of pharmacy operations: keeping the right stock available.

3. MedGuard24 – Improved Chronic Medication Management

Chronic medication requires consistency, accuracy and an efficient workflow.

The latest MedGuard24 upgrade focuses on improving dispensing efficiency and medication packing for chronic repeat customers.

For pharmacies supporting patients who receive regular chronic medication, better workflow management can help staff spend less time on repetitive administrative processes and more time focusing on patients.

MedGuard24 is another example of how the RxPRO ecosystem continues to expand beyond basic dispensing software to address the wider operational needs of modern pharmacies.

4. Shopify Integration – Take Your Pharmacy Online

Pharmacies are no longer limited to serving customers who walk through their doors.

The new Shopify integration creates an additional sales channel by connecting the pharmacy’s existing POS and stock environment with an online Shopify store.

Products can be managed online, while stock-on-hand information can be synchronised with the pharmacy’s existing system. Shopify orders can also be displayed and managed through POSPRO.

For pharmacies looking to expand their digital presence, this can create an opportunity to reach customers beyond the traditional physical pharmacy.

RxPRO Is More Than Dispensing Software

The latest developments are part of a much broader RxPRO ecosystem.

RxPRO continues to bring together pharmacy functions such as dispensing, stock control, point of sale and reconciliation while connecting pharmacies with additional tools and integrations.

The wider ecosystem includes solutions such as:

RxDROP – an integrated pharmacy delivery solution offering route planning, route optimisation, driver navigation and live tracking.

SafeScript – digital copy-script management that reduces paper handling and allows pharmacies to quickly retrieve stored prescriptions.

RxECA – an electronic chronic authorisation solution designed to simplify the chronic registration process with medical schemes.

RxBulkScan – a bulk document management solution that allows pharmacies to scan multiple copy scripts and store them within RxPRO for easier access and auditing.

Together, these tools are helping move RxPRO towards a more connected pharmacy management environment.

What Does This Mean for Namibian Pharmacies?

For pharmacies in Namibia, technology needs to do more than simply process prescriptions.

A good pharmacy management system should help with the complete operation of the business – from dispensing and stock control to reporting, customer service and growth.

The latest RxPRO developments are particularly relevant for pharmacies looking to:

  • Improve stock management
  • Reduce manual administrative work
  • Give staff greater mobility
  • Improve chronic medication workflows
  • Introduce online sales
  • Improve delivery management
  • Reduce paper-based processes
  • Access better information for business decisions

The latest RxPRO platform also places greater emphasis on real-time reporting, improved integrations, quick navigation and built-in automation, helping pharmacies work more efficiently across different areas of the business.
