HMR receives daily transactional data about sales, purchases and stocks, per product, from pharmacy “panels” in Portugal, Spain and Ireland. This information, at the pharmacy level, gives decision makers in the healthcare industry unparalleled insight into the pharmaceutical market to understand customer behaviours and changing market dynamics. The new ThoughtSpot-powered solution will enhance HMR analysis capabilities, enabling the pharmaceutical professionals to support their daily and strategic decisions with the right information at the right time through the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning.
In the current market climate, certainty is at a premium as João Norte, HMR CEO explains, “The Covid-19 crisis continues to alter peoples’ typical behaviours around seeking medical care dramatically. This, in turn, affects sales of prescription drugs and other pharmaceutical products. Therefore, the most effective way to sense and make accurate demand predictions is by analysing actual point-of-sale data at the pharmacy level.”
Pharmaceutical industry ‘laggard’ in empowering frontline staff
According to Daniel Cuffley, regional VP Western Europe, ThoughtSpot, “A recent study we conducted with HBR revealed the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry to be one of the ‘laggards’ at empowering frontline staff with data (15%). We are thrilled to be partnering with HMR to provide a disruptive data analytics service in Europe to help the industry commercialise their products more effectively.”
