Kenyan pharmacies are on the cusp of a digital transformation, thanks to Jungopharm’s innovative approach to streamlining their procurement processes. In a landscape where pharmacies have often been bogged down by inefficient ordering systems—spending endless hours on hold with suppliers who insist on specific delivery windows—Jungopharm is rewriting the script.
With Jungopharm’s software, pharmacies can now break free from the tedious back-and-forth phone calls. The platform allows them to place orders online at their convenience, schedule deliveries, and track the entire process with full transparency. This level of control not only simplifies operations but also empowers pharmacies to focus on their core mission—delivering quality healthcare to patients.
“We have brought this solution to help Kenyan pharmacies better their businesses. We believe that through this software, Kenyans will be able to enjoy quality services and businesses will thrive,” said Jason Kettmann, the Director of Jungopharm.
According to Kettmann, the digitization of the fulfillment process that comes with Jungopharm cuts overhead costs in half while significantly improving customer service. With real-time tracking and better expectation management, distributors can provide a seamless experience for their clients, leading to increased sales. Pharmacies, in turn, benefit from enhanced supplier relationships, more efficient stock management, and fewer disruptions in their supply chains.
But the benefits don’t stop there. In a strategic partnership with I&M Bank, Jungopharm offers a unique financial lifeline to pharmacies through supply chain financing. Pharmacies can now access short-term loans at an incredibly low rate of 1.5% for 30 days with hospitals getting 90 days—far below market rates. This financial flexibility means pharmacies can maintain optimal inventory levels without worrying about cash flow constraints, ensuring that shelves remain stocked with essential medicines at all times.
“The beauty about this partnership is that one does not need to be a customer of I&M to benefit. This is a great partnership that will power Kenyan businesses, thanks to Jungopharm Software,” he added.
This digital leap is not just about procurement—it’s about empowering pharmacies to operate with the agility and efficiency of modern businesses. With a clearer view of their supply chain, better financial options, and improved service from their distributors, Kenyan pharmacies are set to experience a revolution in how they operate, ultimately benefiting the millions of Kenyans who rely on them for their healthcare needs.
Kettmann added that Jungopharm is giving pharmacies the tools to thrive in a fast-paced, competitive market, driving a new era of efficiency and growth in Kenya’s healthcare sector.
