Industry news: It pays to order through X/Procure®

Leading pharmaceutical procurement software provider, X/procure®, has designed an innovative way to reward loyal pharmacy customers. Celebrating their 7th birthday this year, the Primedia Unlimited subsidiary is rewarding supporters who have helped create the Technology Top 100 rated company.

"Pharmacists use our software on a daily basis," says X/procure®'s MD Deon Lewis. "They rely on it for procurement of stock, up-to-date product information, availability of alternate products and accurate pricing. Now we are providing an additional reason for pharmacists to use our ordering system."

The rewards scheme activates every time the pharmacist uses the system, the more they use it, the more rewards they reap. Each time a user logs into the system, X/points are earned, these loyalty points are processed on a daily basis and pharmacists are electronically updated on their X/points balance. At the end of the month pharmacists need only decide how they want to redeem their points. They can either exchange the X/points for money or accumulate these for entry to one of X/procure®'s fabulous competitions.

"We strongly believe in a reward system and have always had a structure in place but until now the individual pharmacists had no control of how much they were rewarded," adds Deon. "Now they have full control. The more X/points they accumulate the bigger the rewards."
