Leading pharmaceutical wholesaler AAH Pharmaceuticals Ltd has introduced new digital functionalities to AAH Cascade, its independently managed ordering portal, making procurement easier and more cost-effective for pharmacies.
AAH Cascade compares product prices and availability across multiple suppliers, eliminating the need for manual searches.
The portal, which can be used directly from a customer’s PMR, now features an upgraded online order pad for greater visibility and ease of use.
Additional optimisation tools have been incorporated to boost savings and increase availability when searching across suppliers.
Phil Maslin, senior commercial technology manager at AAH Pharmaceuticals, highlighted the benefits of the upgraded system:
“AAH Cascade allows customers to gain more control over their procurement. It saves time searching across multiple suppliers and provides clear, transparent pricing.”
“With the new digital features that have been added, customers can search, add and amend products within their online basket quickly and efficiently, and also easily view and order clinically equivalent products and alternative pack sizes.”
“Customers can then access detailed reports to help analyse and optimise their purchases.”
AAH Cascade is compatible with all PMR systems and integrates seamlessly with AAH Connect+, the wrap-around PMR solution from AAH, providing customers with industry-leading EMIS Proscript software, quality hardware, fast fibre broadband, preferential pricing and ongoing support and training.
The wholesaler delivers over 10 million items per week to more than 14,000 pharmacies and healthcare organisations across the UK, operating from 11 local distribution centres.
The company’s portfolio also includes its sister firms, Enterprise, a major wholesaler of health and beauty products serving over 4,000 pharmacies, and Trident Pharmaceuticals, a leading short-line supplier in the UK market.
