In recent years, pharmacists have seen a significant drop in margins on their prescription business and they are now turning to the retail side of their stores to increase profits. Pharmacists OnLine and Activant Solutions offer proven technology solutions that help turn pharmacists into sophisticated retailers. The companies will develop an interface for the Activant Eagle system to share sales data with the RxLoyalty Genius loyalty program - allowing this information to be used for marketing purposes. The integration between the Activant Eagle system and RxLoyalty Genius provides pharmacies with advanced transaction processing and data capturing tools and an effective system for using this data to secure and strengthen customer relations.

The interface between RxLoyalty Genius and the Activant Eagle POS system takes sales data from the POS environment and automatically posts it to a central database. Pharmacies can then leverage this information to create targeted customers lists for "cross-sell/up-sell" opportunities and automatically generate and distribute branded postcard and email promotions. The system allows pharmacies to maintain regular and relevant communication with customers, driving them back to the store with targeted promotions based on demographics, store visit history and purchase behavior.
"Pharmacists OnLine and Activant came together because our two organizations are committed to improving front store sales at pharmacies," said Paul Salsgiver, executive vice president for Activant Solutions. "The combination of Activant's transaction processing and retail business management solutions with Pharmacists OnLine's innovative customer service and marketing products provides pharmacists with the tools to make themselves better retailers and raises the bar for pharmacy retail."

Now by complementing the Activant Eagle POS platform with the marketing power of the RxLoyalty Genius program, pharmacies can literally transform their Activant Eagle POS system into a marketing powerhouse. We are very pleased to be working with Activant to bring such a powerful solution to the pharmacy marketplace."
