About Pharmacy.com.au
Do you
ever wonder how business got done before
fax machines, computer word processing
programs, and email appeared on the
scene? These tools have not been around
long, but they are now vital to any
business operation.
The
Internet is fast becoming such a tool,
and Pharmacies must offer their
customers web-based information
services, or risk losing them to
Pharmacies that do. Pharmacies now
offering online services realise their
customers are demanding it
Now with the power of the Internet,
Australian consumers can access all
their Pharmacy requirements, Health
information and products in one central
spot 24hrs a day from the comfort of
their own home... While having a more
personal relationship with their Local
Community Pharmacist.
"This solution has been developed over
many years - and will combine the
benefits of Internet Pharmacy and your
local community Bricks & Mortar
Pharmacy" says Ken Hobson. "Each
Pharmacy will have it's own individual
website where their local community can
ask personal health questions, access
comprehensive Health information and
request products 24hrs a day while
having the products delivered straight
to their door personally by their local
Pharmacy".
"Current health, wellbeing and
medical information and local
Pharmacists who can be contacted via
the internet will all help improve
consumer’s ability to make informed
decision on their health and their
ability to take medications as
prescribed by their doctor. This
will enable them to take control of
their own health and improve their
health outcomes while helping to
reduce the costs of health care to
Australian taxpayers.".
IT demands on small business is
increasing at a rapid pace. Community
Pharmacies have been searching for an
economically viable model to move
online. This solution provided by the
Guild will solve many of the issues
facing Australian Community Pharmacies
when they consider the move to go
online.
The partnership is a natural fit for the
development of a National OnLine
Pharmacy Channel, and will ensure that
we can offer the Australian consumer an
enhanced OnLine experience by combining
both the OnLine and "OffLine" worlds for
their Pharmacy needs, as well as
providing easy access to products and
information that enhance and promote
Health and Wellbeing.
Combining the ease of OnLine
communication with local community
Pharmacies, will attract both
current and new Pharmacy customers,
moreover the venture is well
positioned to strengthen Australian
community Pharmacy's ability to
better serve their customers.
This partnership also makes a lot of
economic sense - It frees up individual
community Pharmacies from spending the
money and resources required to develop
a professionally built, marketed and
maintained full service internet
pharmacy. It will produce one of
Australia’s most innovative and
successful websites, while providing a
major communication and distribution
channel for Australian community
Pharmacists.
