Client Section

Project Requirement

The healthcare provider needed a solution to minimize the impact of stockouts, improve patient communication, and ensure customers remained informed about product availability and restocking timelines.

Frequent Stockouts of High-Demand Products

  • Essential healthcare products frequently went out of stock during seasonal demand spikes.
  • High-demand items included diabetic testing strips, blood pressure monitors, antibiotics, and home healthcare essentials.

Poor Customer Communication

  • Patients had to repeatedly call pharmacies, send emails, or manually check the online portal for stock availability updates.
  • Lack of proactive communication led to a poor customer experience.

Revenue Loss and Customer Attrition

  • Customers often switched to competing pharmacies when availability information was delayed or unavailable.
  • Missed opportunities resulted in lost revenue and reduced customer loyalty.

Manual Waitlist Management

  • Pharmacy teams maintained manual follow-up lists through spreadsheets, call-back logs, and messaging groups.
  • The process was time-consuming, inconsistent, and difficult to scale.
