The distribution industry has made significant advances in the use of computers to help improve accuracy. They are now available to veterinary practices through RxWorks’ E-Commerce. RxWorks has many years of experience in connecting to these systems all over the world.
E-Commerce builds an interface between the PIMS inventory and the wholesaler’s system. Once connected it can:
- Electronically place product orders on the wholesaler based on current stock levels and usage.
- Automatically update cost prices in the inventory and fee tables.
- Instantly update inventory with receipts.
The end result is a clean, accurate and up-to-date inventory system. No lost or duplicate orders or the many other problems created with a manual system.
