Centralised vision to manage a variety of tasks
With PlanningPME, the pharmacy manages to plan all its appointments clearly and precisely:
- Meetings with suppliers and laboratories : with partners or specialised brands, coordination of regular visits for the presentation of new products, such as medical devices.
- Patient appointments and specific follow-ups : The pharmacy offers consultations for: taking measurements for medical devices, medication reviews (an increasingly requested service), specific consultations with laboratories or brands
- Organising trainings : Continuing education is a pillar in a pharmacy. With PlanningPME, the pharmacy efficiently organises: training sessions for products and small group sessions (1/2 groups) to facilitate learning.
Daily task tracking made easy
In addition to appointments, pharmacies perform many administrative and logistical tasks. With PlanningPME, everything is organised, prioritised, and tracked. Here are some examples of planned tasks:
- Deliveries and installations : Delivery of medical equipment (e.g. medical beds, orthopedic devices) and specific installations.
- Maintenance management : Regular cleaning of premises (cleaning of windows, offices) and management of waste (cardboard, paper, household waste) for a healthy environment that complies with hygiene standards.
- Organisation of material resources : Pharmacies can also anticipate busy periods, such as school holidays, and adapt their schedules accordingly.
Anticipating employee time-off
One of the major challenges for a pharmacy is the management of time-off. With PlanningPME, pharmacies can monitor in real time:
- Holidays and special leaves
- Sick leaves and other unexpected time-off

Each time-off is planned and communicated, allowing the need for replacements to be anticipated so that the pharmacy can operate without interruption.
