ZADO contains detailed information on thousands of medicines. To date, it has only been used internally. The goal now, however, is to make it directly available to pharmacists over the Internet. ZADO helps pharmacists give customers additional information which is not generally available. It does away with the need to consult big books or unwieldy card indexes.
Pharmacists can service their customers more quickly and comprehensively and increase their sales.
This helps both Sanacorp and pharmacists reach their business targets and improve customer relationships. In a context of increasing competition between pharmaceutical wholesalers, this is an important factor in Sanacorp's success. The current prototype and third generation of ZADO has a ten-year history behind it. It all started with version one, an information system which resided on a mainframe computer. In the second generation, the describing information was made available on the Internet as HTML documents.
