Reviews from pharmacies

As the pharmacist in charge, I used to be on call practically around the clock because everyone had my personal cell phone number and would call me even after 8 p.m. for trivial matters. With fonio, I finally have a real end to my workday again, since the AI assistant professionally screens all calls.

Since we started using fonio, we no longer have to worry about being reachable, because the AI answers every call immediately and handles the initial details. We receive clean transcripts of the conversations and can call back at specific times when we have time. This makes us appear much more professional to callers, and we no longer miss a single opportunity to build new supplier relationships.

Important information often ended up on illegible scraps of paper, or the voicemail box was simply full. fonio has put an end to the chaos by automatically and digitally recording caller names, callback numbers, and the reason for the call. The data is immediately available to the entire team, which greatly speeds up internal coordination.

Every day, we were held up by the same old standard questions about opening hours or prescription refills. We've trained fonio so that these questions can now be answered directly over the phone without a team member having to pick up the call.

What can the AI Phone Assistant do for pharmacies?

Answers standard questions

The AI phone assistant automatically answers the phone, takes down the caller's request, and answers standard questions. It is available 24/7, with no limits from opening hours or staff availability. Our AI Phone Assistant can answer calls at any time of day on weekdays, weekends, and holidays.

Smart prescription intake

The AI phone assistant can handle prescription intake over the phone from start to finish. During the call, the AI collects the patient's name, contact details, the prescribed or requested medication, and whether they prefer pickup or delivery, then forwards the order to the pharmacy team by email or through the connected system.

Appointment scheduling

The AI phone assistant books appointments for consultations, vaccinations, or medication reviews directly into the calendar. The AI collects the caller's contact details, checks in real time which time slots are open, and suggests options to the caller. Once the caller picks a time, the AI saves the appointment in the system automatically.

Forwards complex requests

Our AI Phone Assistant for pharmacies forwards complex requests whenever it cannot resolve them on its own. Complex requests include, for example, questions about health conditions or how a specific medication needs to be taken. If no pharmacist is available, the AI-powered phone assistant arranges a callback, and in an emergency it forwards the call directly to the emergency pharmacy service.

Call transcription

The AI phone assistant automatically turns pharmacy phone calls into text. The transcripts organize all important information clearly and make individual customer conversations easier to trace. On request, the AI phone assistant creates a short summary of each call and emails it to the pharmacy management.

Advantages of our AI Phone Assistant for pharmacies

The benefits of our AI phone assistant for pharmacies include the automation of administrative tasks (such as processing prescription orders or scheduling appointments), fast response times, and full GDPR compliance. All the essential benefits of our AI Phone Assistant for pharmacies are listed in detail below.

Less workload for the pharmacy team

The AI phone assistant takes pressure off the pharmacy team and gives pharmacists more time for core pharmaceutical work. The AI assistant handles frequent standard questions, so pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, and pharmacy assistants spend less time on the phone. Thanks to the AI phone assistant, the pharmacy team has more time for advising patients and customers, for sales, and for other pharmaceutical work in the store.

Fewer interruptions

Our AI phone assistant means fewer interruptions in daily pharmacy work, where a ringing phone often cuts into consultations and workflows. The AI assistant answers every call, responds to questions on behalf of the pharmacy team, and forwards only relevant matters to staff. The AI-based phone assistant handles everything else on its own.

24/7 phone availability

The AI phone assistant makes your pharmacy reachable by phone 24/7, which matters most during peak times or when you are short-staffed. With an AI-powered phone assistant, customers can get information, pre-order medication, and book appointments on weekends, at night, and on public holidays. With 24/7 availability, no call goes unanswered.

Fast response times

Our AI phone assistant responds fast, because it picks up every call immediately. The intelligent phone assistant can handle 15 calls simultaneously, so pharmacy customers never end up in a queue. Handling customer requests quickly makes your pharmacy more efficient and raises customer satisfaction through better service.

GDPR compliance

Our AI phone assistant is fully GDPR-compliant, so even sensitive health information is handled responsibly. Because we host entirely in the EU, health data and personal data stay protected. We only store the customer data a pharmacy strictly needs and delete it immediately on request.

Easy to set up

Our AI-based phone assistant is easy to implement: it is set up in minutes, can be configured individually for your pharmacy, and requires no in-depth IT knowledge. To set up the phone assistant for your pharmacy, simply choose a voice and language, customize the prompt, and forward your existing number to the AI number.

Integrates with internal systems

The AI phone assistant integrates with your internal systems, so it adapts to each pharmacy. Our virtual assistant can be connected to inventory management systems such as ABDATA, PHARMATECHNIK, or IXOS, as well as other CRM and ordering systems. Thanks to this integration, the AI phone assistant can retrieve information and document requests directly for the pharmacy.
