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.
:quality(80))
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.
:quality(80))
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?
Answering Standard Questions
The AI phone assistant automatically answers the phone and takes down the caller's request. It is available 24/7. There are no restrictions due to opening hours or the availability of pharmacy staff. Our AI Phone Assistant is able to answer calls at any time of day on weekdays, weekends, and holidays.
Intelligent Prescription Reception
The AI phone assistant can fully handle prescription intake over the phone. During the call, the AI collects the patient's name, contact information, the prescribed or requested medication, and the preferred pickup or delivery option, then forwards the order to the pharmacy team via email or the connected system.
Appointment Scheduling
Appointments for consultations, vaccinations, or medication reviews can be transferred directly to the calendar by the AI phone assistant. The AI collects the caller's contact information, analyzes in real time which time slots are available, and makes suggestions to the caller. Once an appointment is chosen, the AI compiles the data and automatically saves it in the system.
Forwarding for Complex Inquiries
Our AI Phone Assistant for pharmacies takes care of forwarding complex inquiries whenever it cannot resolve a request automatically. Complex inquiries include, for example, questions about health conditions or the necessary intake of specific medications. The AI-powered phone assistant arranges a callback if no pharmacist is currently available, or forwards the call directly to the emergency service if it is urgent.
Call Transcription
The AI phone assistant handles call transcription by automatically converting pharmacy phone calls into text. The transcripts help organize all important information clearly and improve traceability of individual customer conversations. On request, the AI phone assistant creates a short summary of each call and sends it via email 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.
Relief for the Pharmacy Team
The AI phone assistant relieves the pharmacy team, giving pharmacists more time for core pharmaceutical work. The AI assistant handles frequent standard inquiries, so pharmacists, PTAs, and PKAs spend less time on the phone. Thanks to the AI phone assistant, the pharmacy team has more room for advising patients and customers, for sales, and for other pharmaceutical work on site.
Fewer Interruptions
Our AI phone assistant means fewer interruptions in day-to-day pharmacy work, since a ringing phone often cuts into consultations or 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 inquiries independently, without any human intervention.
24/7 Phone Availability
The AI phone assistant enables 24/7 phone availability for pharmacies, which matters most during peak times or staff shortages. With an AI-powered phone assistant, customers can get information, pre-order medication, and book appointments on weekends, at night, and on public holidays. Thanks to 24/7 availability, no call is lost.
Fast Response Times
Our AI phone assistant has fast response times, since it picks up every call immediately. The intelligent phone assistant is able to handle 15 calls simultaneously, so no queue builds up for pharmacy customers. The fast processing of customer requests increases efficiency in pharmacy operations and boosts customer satisfaction through better service quality.
GDPR Compliance
Our AI phone assistant operates in full compliance with the GDPR, so that even sensitive health information is handled responsibly. We ensure protected processing of health data and personal data by hosting entirely in Germany and the EU. We store only the customer data that is strictly necessary for pharmacies and delete it immediately upon request.
Easy Implementation
Our AI-based phone assistant is easy to implement, as it is set up within minutes, individually configurable for the pharmacy, and requires no deep IT knowledge. To set up the phone assistant for pharmacies, you simply select a voice and language, customize the prompt, and forward the existing number to the AI number.
Integrates with Internal Systems
The AI phone assistant is integrable with internal systems, so it adapts individually to each pharmacy. Our virtual assistant can be connected with inventory management systems such as ABDATA and PHARMATECHNIK, or IXOS and other CRM and ordering systems. Thanks to this integration, the AI phone assistant can retrieve information and document requests directly for the pharmacy.
