The purpose of this app is to remove the stress of having to ring 5 to 10 pharmacies to figure out if 1 out of the 10 has the medication you need or are prescribed, with the constant stock shortages and delays, sometimes you're prescribed medication you need urgently but your nominated pharmacies doesn't have it. What this app will do for you is send the request out to the nearby pharmacies within the radius you have set and then get them to come to you and say yes we have what you're looking for, instead of you running up and down the town/city looking for the medication, you will go to just one pharmacy with the peace of mind that they definitely have it. --------------------------- very simple layout and easy to use app, no need to over complicate getting medication when it doesn't need to be. -------------------------- send out a request and all the pharmacies in our system will see this request and let you know if they have the exact medication and quantity you need --------------------------- you won't need to drive far, just for medication, using the radius in settings you can chose how far you are willing to travel may that be local 2 miles or the next town over or even further the choice is all yours. ------------------------- once your request is sent out, come back to your orders page and see who has accepted the request and give them a call straight away.
