Every pharmacy has a series of processes throughout intake, workflow, and delivery that work together to comprise their pharmacy management system.
Learn how you can enhance your pharmacy system with PioneerRx.
Ensure the smoothest, most high-functioning pharmacy system within your store. The foundation is comprehensive software, which is supported by our relevant and user-friendly mobile applications, then further enhanced by other innovative technologies and automation. PioneerRx integrates seamlessly with a variety of vendors to connect you to the latest tools and allow you to customize the best pharmacy system for your business goals.
RxLocal offers an entire patient portal from the convenience of a mobile application. Patients create a profile where they can access prescription information, submit refill requests, and receive pickup reminders. Patients can even engage in HIPAA compliant two-way text messaging with their pharmacist, integrated directly through PioneerRx. Pharmacy Finder allows patients to search for independent pharmacies that meet their specific needs – like yours! Mobile refilling, messaging, and searching gives your pharmacy system a modern, user-friendly step above other stores.
The Drive-Thru Mobile App collects electronic signatures right on an iPad and syncs them into your PioneerRx pharmacy system. All signatures remain in file, ensuring that the process is HIPAA compliant.
For some pharmacies, delivery is a large part of the pharmacy management system. PioneerRx Mobile Delivery enables drivers to pre-plan the most efficient route, accept credit card payments, and process information needed for controlled substances – all from a smartphone or tablet!
Patient counseling is such an integral part of the pharmacy system that pharmacists should be ready to perform wherever they are in the store. Mobile Patient Counseling gives pharmacists access to patient profiles and notes from their iPad or mobile device, so that they can quickly reference these items anywhere. The notes and changes made to the profile are then synced back into PioneerRx. The counseling app also gives pharmacists access to their patients’ report cards, so that they can see progress over time.
Inventory management is one of the most important non-patient facing activities in the pharmacy. PioneerRx’s Mobile Inventory Application allows your staff to manage inventory in real-time right from their smartphone. Log inventory counts into the app, which then syncs wirelessly back into the pharmacy system. The app can check prescriptions into Will Call, check in wholesale shipments, organize inventory bins, and capture pill images to be used for verification.
A popular way to expand your pharmacy’s services is to offer point-of-care testing and administer vaccinations - and your PioneerRx pharmacy system can help you streamline this additional workflow. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, pharmacists have been recognized as a valuable healthcare provider that does more than just dispense prescriptions. If you are looking to start vaccinating or POC testing at your pharmacy, start your checklist by reading our step-by-step certification guides with state-specific resources.

Yost Pharmacy in Mason, OH has an award-winning immunization program that has become a great success in its community. Trying to start your own program? Owner and pharmacist-in-charge Sarah McClain says it’s not as difficult as you may think.
“My biggest piece of advice would be - don’t hesitate to engage in it on a small scale to begin with... Take it slow and get comfortable with the program,” she says. "Start small and then see what other options your customers are interested in, then adjust to the demand. You can hold off-site vaccination events to gain exposure and attract new customers."
McClain also describes how having the billing service integrated into their PioneerRx software was extremely helpful in ensuring a smooth payment process. Establishing their immunization program was made easier by “being able to leverage [the billing] all through one system, and being able to do that in a cost-effective manner."
