Benefits of Direct to Pharmacy
In our experience, adopting DTP (Direct to Pharmacy) can result in:
- Better supply chain management
- Improved relationships with customers and service providers
- Removal of inefficiencies
- Re-focus staff responsibilities
...........and ultimately lead to better service for the patient.
Alternatives to DTP
There are alternatives to going for the full DTP model namely Reduced Wholesaling, which may be cheaper and quicker to implement, and which can bring substantial benefits to manufacturers. We are happy to work with you to explore and implement these alternatives so you can make the right decision for your company.
Cost-based analysis
Initial considerations are always related to identifying the inefficiencies through analysis of costs, pricing structure, and building a case to substantiate such a change. If the initial analysis proves satisfactory, the next stage is a Feasibility Study. At Andrew Carr Associates we find that our background in finance, supply chain and PPRS is valued when discussing the wider implications for the organisation at Board level.
Implementation can be managed by your own organisation and with our guidance and support, or totally outsourced to us. In either case, effective change management lies at the heart of DTP in order to produce the optimal outcome for your company.
