EBOS offshoot Minfos has released a major upgrade of its pharmacy software platform, with significant enhancements including a new modern design and automatic product updates, scripts on file alert and named discount functionality.
Available to all Minfos customers at no charge from this month, the upgrade "further expands Minfos' position as an all-in-one POS/Dispense solution that delivers greater efficiencies for pharmacy," the company said.
EBOS general manager of pharmacy technology, Andrew Hall, said, "At Minfos, our philosophy has always been to deliver a complete solution to help pharmacies maximise their business potential.
"With the free Minfos 5.0.1 software upgrade our customers can operate more efficiently than ever before," he said.
The automatic product update feature can save time and increase accuracy, while stock managers can reduce manual management of product data such as barcodes, product descriptions and ordering codes, minimising data entry errors.
The Minfos database includes almost 500,000 products sourced directly from the wholesaler or supplier, with more than 4,000 product updates applied daily.
The "scripts on file" alert feature helps to improve the in-store experience by indicating to pharmacy staff at the till or dispensary that the customer has their scripts kept in pharmacy.
"This can assist with customer retention and streamline the script refill process for the customer," Hall explained.
The till module allows retail managers to create discount policies via 'named discounts' such as employee benefits, allowing them to be applied during transactions at the till.
"Increasing business intelligence and enabling more visibility on pharmacy performance are critical considerations of our new update.
"Our solution can assist pharmacies struggling with inventory management, while also enhancing service delivery for our existing customers," he added.
