Revolutionizing Pharmaceutical Marketing Effectiveness with Change Management and Technology

In order to overcome the new discount-priced competition, pharmaceutical companies are required to develop radically new, cost-efficient methods, which conform to the demands of both the local marketing regulations and needs of its personnel. Customer loyalty is the key, newly re-discovered. But, unfortunately, this cannot be achieved through existing IT-solutions. Modern advances in information and communication technology have brought completely new opportunities to collect and process market and client information, thus leading to new discoveries in targeting and focusing when combined with effective customer strategies and sales force development - a market pioneered by DoIT Pharma.

Furthermore, and at the same time, the marketers must be able to add significant value for their individual clients, the physicians, pharmacies and patients alike, in order to create the perceived true differentiation from other marketers of pharmaceuticals. Traditionally, it was believed to be the product that added this value; now we know it is the partnership of the physician and the representative that will bring the most value, information and service, to the customer.

If you find it difficult to manage your pharmaceutical sales effectively, a new class of technology products is the solution you are looking for.

PharmaMap utilizes the latest geographic information systems (GIS), and is a stunningly comprehensive, yet visual operating system. PharmaMap is designed to convert data from various sources into visual conclusions for an immediate increase in productivity. It is completely different from all conventional market analysis software, typically used only by analysts and a few competent managers.

The main features are:

  • World's first integration of pharmaceutical marketing data projected on one screen a simple, single view of each operator-defined performance meter on a dashboard and a navigation chart.

  • Analysis and a global view of all the available market data combined with e.g. revenues and customer information for measuring performance.
  • Integrates all information sources available for a holistic view.
  • Typical sources are: geographic data, sales data, client data, CRM-system data, wholesale data, volumes, revenues, internal sales costs, etc.

Just a mouse click away:

  • Any map location and related sales graphics are fully synchronized simultaneously.
  • Choice of different client groups and segments.
  • Instant drill-down from market-wide view through to the level of one single client, e.g. physician, and back again.

  • Instant movement between geographic horizons and from one region to another, large or small area coverage.
  • Separate window opens to show detailed information of a location (e.g.list physicians in a selected hospital and related CRM-information).

Main benefits are:

  • Visual, automatically adapting regional sales planning information.
  • All business critical information in one view at the same time.

  • Specific sources of information fully tailored to any need.

Technical issues:
PharmaMap framework includes a generic user interface comprising extensive functionality. By using this framework, the development time for a user interface is reduced. The user interface can either be browser-based or a more traditional Windows client. In general, functionality based on visualization and simple analysis is available in the browser interface, and the more advanced functionality in the Windows client. Both interface frameworks use the same component. Furthermore, PharmaMap is available for both the J2EE and .NET platforms.
