More than 600 Australian pharmacies are now using the minfos® system to improve their efficiency and boost their profitability. Here’s what just a few of them have told us about their experiences with minfos®…
“minfos® is the only retail management software pharmacists need because it provides complete integration – so that once data is entered, it is allocated across the system to all appropriate areas, saving time and improving data accuracy. It provides superior maintenance of product files, with regular, consistent & accurate updates across more than 200,000 products, including most of our agency lines. The minfos® support team provides all the training needed to ensure staff can use the system with complete confidence, and they work with us in a productive way to help us achieve our IT and business goals. We enjoy first-class service from the minfos® team that matches the first-class quality of their product. I wouldn’t use any other system.”
John Neilson, Founder and CEO of Pharmacy Solutions, a leading pharmacy broker with an extensive chain of successful retail pharmacies.
“I used to use a DOS-based system and you can’t really compare the two. minfos® is really good. The system is safe and secure. It’s faster now and more reliable, with more functions, and I trust what I see on the screen. I had a question about the new version and the minfos® support team called me back in 10 minutes! The customer support is very good, there’s no doubt about it. Other software suppliers will promise you everything to get the sale and then they deliver about 50%. minfos® isn’t like that. Security upgrades mean I am able to control what actions staff can perform, which gives me much more control over operations - it's excellent.
Many pharmacy owners don’t have time to ensure that stock-control staff are entering data correctly and doing a thorough job to maintain their POS systems. We have detected supplier errors amounting to thousands of dollars using this system, and there are substantial time and cost savings in not having to double-enter invoices into separate accounting software. The minfos® system does cost a bit more initially, but now I’m way in front because the accounting functions in the system mean I don’t have to pay a bookkeeper. I’m very happy with it.”
Peter Pitt, successful Tasmanian pharmacist with a Terry White Chemists® pharmacy in Kingston and an independent store in Sandy Ba). Peter has been a minfos® customer since 2000.
“minfos® produces reports that identify anomalies in our data, and this has enabled us to streamline our dispense and retail processes. It's great to invest in a product that is paying off so quickly and bringing immediate benefits. Since upgrading to the minfos® system, our gross profit has increased by at least 1.2%. The private pricing functionality now provides more options and more flexibility, not to mention the time it saves. The generic supplier prompt is another valuable tool. The dispense functions are now excellent too. We can scan items in and out, which is very convenient, and the labels are very professional. I’m wrapped with minfos®!”
