UniPhar Group is one of Ireland’s largest drug distribution providers to the pharmacy sector. With some 1200 products in its portfolio it distributes to 500 key accounts in pharmacies around the country.
Partnering with Celtrino, Uniphar moved to an integrated, cloud-based ordering system to streamline procurement and capture sales orders.
“Like all of the existing pharmacy wholesalers, we had traditional order capture mechanisms such as telesales teams, and direct order entry. While all dispensaries can send modem orders, this obliged staff to use the computer physically located in the dispensary, as opposed to a PC connected to the internet. It wasn’t an integrated solution.
Celtrino’s web-based platform means lots of data-rich features. It also allows greater flexibility for customers: now anyone with internet access can use our web platform to order medicines. It differentiates our offering and assists in the acquisition of customers from competitors,”
Tom McKenna, Commercial Director of UniPhar

“You order what you want, when you want. From my point of view it’s working, and it’s working well.”
From initial spec to full implementation, project management and a close working relationship with UniPhar were key components.
“Celtrino were very good: really enthusiastic and attentive. The best endorsement I can give is that we’re back using them again for other projects,”
