Pros The RX filling is so fast and seamless. It is very simple to find what you need and do it. Cons There seems to be a LOT going on the screen at one time Review Source AK Alan K. Pharmacist/owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product with great support" January 22, 2017 5.0 I bought Pioneer in 2013 after using QS1 for 20 years. The system did not transfer the competitive prices from QS1 that I had set into the old software, and I had difficulty in maintaining a good margin on low priced generics as well as maintaining continuity on pricing, especially generics. After muddling through it for 3 years and doing the best we can, and voicing my frustrations on this site, Pioneer called me and said they wanted my issues resolved and volunteered to send a rep to my store for the better part of 3 days. Customer support representative was exceptional in his willingness and ability to explain and resolve my issues. I was able to get better control over my generic pricing and he also led us to a multitude of other issues to better utilize what Pioneer offered the independent pharmacy. My staff loves it. It does a great job managing our profit/loss issues (with the DIR exceptions) and I may be able to save money by d/cing other programs that Pioneer can handle. My biggest recommendation would be that if you aren't happy with the product, ask them to fix it. don't give up until you get results. It can do a lot more than you think it can. the on site training is somewhat limited. I wish they would have spent more energy into pointing out things at time of installation (perhaps a checklist, provided by current users, would help). I am a bit old school and Pioneer is a highly technical software so the learning curve was a bit steep for me. I would recommend this software over QS1 and am very happy with the service they provided. Pros it can do just about anything once you figure out how to work it. Cons it is technical and a bit convoluted so may require some serious training. the learning curve might be a bit steep.

Specifically, Nour advised PioneerRx of the following problems: There are too many statuses; many more than the essential will call, filling que, in-take que, rejection que and on order. 75% of the data entry screen is blank and all of the essential and a significant amount of non-essential information is shown in a small font on the other 25% of the screen. It is unorganized, not in the same format as the prescription is laid out. The data entry itself is more difficult than Supreme Royal Pharmacy Software which allows the user to browse with a tab button through a prescription. Nour was told PioneerRx integrates with PK Software, but it does not. Nour was told QR Code could be printed, but it cannot. Textphone notification must be manually turned on for each individual patient which is a significant amount of extra work collecting carrier date on each patient. Escripts do not auto-populate adding more work for the Pharmacy. Review Source BB Brandee B. Pharmacy Director Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love this software! It is intuitive, functional and I have access to any information I might need." April 9, 2018 5.0 Functionality, and improved workflow, reporting and tracking. Pros Almost everything! Any data that I need to report out is available and can be customized in a usable format. Pioneer's processes and workflows have decreased our processing times and added the accountability of always knowing where a prescription is at in the workflow. The checking process, the interfaces, and the functionality is top of the line and continually improving. Pioneer offers many features that help us compete with the chains (provider lookup, insurance lookup, driver's license scanning, data submission to immunization registries, sync fill, loyalty plans, etc.). Additionally, they continually add new features or make changes to improve the system. The customer support is amazing! I have not had any issue that couldn't be resolved. Either a solution was already available, or a solution was developed to meet the need. I have never received this kind of responsiveness from any other software vendor. It feels like a partnership. Cons I would like to see more detailed training on new functionality. I am always made aware of new features, but sometimes struggle to completely understand all of the steps needed to implement the new features--without calling in to the support line.

Cons Cost is pretty high. But it's good for it's value. Review Source MH Mike H. Pharmacist/Owner Used the software for: ### "QS1 to Pioneer conversion" March 20, 2014 5.0 Anytime you change the initial days are not easy.....as was the case when we changed our pharmacy software from QS1 to Pioneer. It was not easy....but when is change easy???? IT NEVER IS!!! The main thing is 7 months later I am so happy I made the change. There are a lot of reasons why I like Pioneer better now after scratching the surface of it. The reporting features are way easier to use and the I-pad delivery pad for signatures is awesome. At our check station on rx's it lets you know if you have a ndc issue and one click later it reverses the claim puts the rx under the correct ndc that you are now using and prints a new label in a matter of 5 seconds....impressive! The general filling functions are easy to use just hard to change your ways when you are used to looking at a rx a little differently in qs1. Pioneer allows you to create facilities and attach people to them in easy fashion and does a great job of tracking those people in and out with dates and up to actual times of discharge time if you want to go to that point. At the end of the day and you have 5 rx's going to 5 different people at the same facility,..... all you do is print a one page report that charges the rx's to those 5 separate accounts all at the same time and places a delivery signature on those rx's when it is brought back and scanned in. BUT #1 TO ME IS THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE.......we actually have just one main person we all call here at the pharmacy at Pioneer and she know our store very well and the people working in it and she also know "Holcomb Pharmacy" ....she knows we have 3 Nursing homes, 1 blister pack facility, and the way our pharmacy operates. Therefore when you call your assigned a contact person that person already has a great idea of how they need to help you, and help they do. I can't say enough about their customer service, it is the difference maker when it comes down to it. All systems can do the general functions of filling rx's but its all those little things that each independent pharmacy is that makes running a pharmacy a challenge. Pioneer takes the time to work one on one with you to make your life easier. I am very satisfied and happy with the change. Last week I asked my primary data entry person and my primary pharmacist what they thought after 7 months and both of them replied that they "would not want to go back." GREAT SYSTEM AND GREAT PEOPLE BEHIND IT SUPPORTING YOU.AT PIONEER RX!!! Review Source JK Jonathan K. Certified Pharmacy Technician Used the software for: 2+ years ### "PionnerRx makes filling prescriptions and running a pharmacy a breeze" March 6, 2018 5.0 Pros I love how intuitive the software is--I had no trouble becoming familiar with it. The features are what truly sets Pioneer apart from the rest. Patient profiles can contain a tremendous amount of information and notations that makes filling prescriptions both easier and quicker. Documentation is customizable from the broadest scope of a particular third party plan all the way down to individual fills of each prescription. Managing inventory is a breeze thanks to the abundance of reporting available. I can't imagine not using Pioneer. Cons Honestly, with the weekly updates from Pioneer, there is little room for improvement. They take customer input very seriously and are incredibly prompt in resolving issues or answering questions. Review Source JS Julie S. Pharmacist Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and learn. " March 26, 2018 5.0 Pros I like how easy it is to use and learn. Can quickly pick up where to find stuff the system does pretty much all I need to perform most tasks I want Pioneer to do. Also Pioneer's eligibility check is so easy and convenient. One of my favorite features. Also love Pioneer's delivery app on the Ipad. Easy to deliver medications and have a list in one place and have an ability to pay while on delivery. Cons It would be really nice to be able to submit an automatic text if there is a problem with a prescription, such as it needs a prior authorization. Also a text to show prescriptions are ready, along with the price of prescription would be a neat feature, so people aren't surprised when they get here for the total price. Review Source WB Whitney B. Owner/Pharmacist Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My experience with PioneerRx has been phenomenal from day one. " April 6, 2018 5.0 Pros PioneerRx's ease of use is what sets it apart from other pharmacy softwares. A brand new user can be up and running almost immediately. I specifically like that PioneerRx is great for compounding or hybrid pharmacies, I don't need another software to dispense my compounds. Their support & customer service is quick to respond and very knowledgeable. I used PioneerRx as an employee at 2 pharmacies, when it was time to select Rx software for my own pharmacy, PioneerRx was the easy winner. Cons 1\. The alert for non-matched/incorrect item in the check screen is inadequate 2. The reports can be difficult to manage, there are lots of reports to choose from, but not always the exact one you want. Review Source KP Kate P. Pharmacy Manager/Pharmacist Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pioneer Rx continues to exceed my expectations at every turn. There is always a way to do something!" March 8, 2018 5.0 It has streamlined my workflow and simplified my life! Pros I love the logic in all the processes. Everything makes sense to me. It does synchronization wonderfully and the interface with my compliance packaging (Medicine-On-Time) is seamless. I have much better control of inventory and there is an easy way to order expensive items just before I need them so I don't have all that inventory sitting on the shelf. I love the CoverMyMeds link and I also really like that I can very quickly fax a copy of a rejection directly to the prescriber without having to print it out. Support is quick and painless, reporting is exceptional. I use the link to coupons all the time which makes my customers very happy. Review Source TD TERRI D. PHARMACIST Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Switching software is always challenging , but this switch was worth it!" March 12, 2018 5.0 Pros I love the comprehensive reports. I love the ability to easily fax transfers. I love the ease of identifying where prescriptions are in the workflow at a glance. I also like being able to see the POS receipt for each completed prescription. The sync program is the best I've seen. It makes it really easy to convert patients and keep all their maintenance meds together. Customer support is convenient and top notch. Cons It is a bit of a challenge getting started. An extra day with trainers would be helpful in the beginning. We switched from 20 years of QS1 and it took a little time to adjust to the different logic. Overall, the system is heads and shoulders above our previous system. Review Source ML Matt L. Pharmacist Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pioneer is a great software for our pharmacy. Very powerful and lots of customization" July 6, 2018 5.0 Easy to navigate Pros Once familiar with the software, the options are pretty much endless for what you can do. Love the ability to leave critical comments that are easy for the next shift to follow up with once the patient calls back. Good workflow. Easy to find or track down any old RX, i.e. ability to search by name, drug, dispensing date, MD, etc. Generally user friendly. Cons Slightly larger buttons, i.e. click to call, or edit patient profile. Ability to add ins from the "edit RX screen", Click to call feature for Check screen. Integrations with other softwares, i.e. to get a patient signature via email/text. Ability to track anyone who alters an RX critical comments. Review Source CJ Caroline J. Pharmacist/ manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User friendly pharmacy software that has lots of extra functions!" October 10, 2017 4.0 Pros This software is much more user friendly than other pharmacy software I've used and I've had experience with 3 other brands. If there is a report you need, Pioneer can generate just about any report you need. There are other functions such as faxing such reports, merging patients, and ease of "batching" refills to be run. Other software I have used made it difficult to edit prescriptions that had been processed. Editing prescriptions is so easy with Pioneer. Cons It can be a bit difficult to navigate at first, until you get used to it. I had to make a lot of changes to make the software look and function how I wanted it to. Review Source CC Christina C. CPhT Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Educational, Helpful Customer Service Rep., & Awesome" July 10, 2018 5.0 Pros Pioneer is a great software to use. It has so many options available to pharmacies to utilize with their patients needs and several ways to keep up with the state standards. Staying compliant with star-rating is also easy with the notifications that are alerted during the filling process. It makes filling prescriptions easier and more efficient. Cons There is not really any thing I could recommend as far as changing because the software is that great. Review Source TP Teresa P. pharmacy tech Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Mobley Drugs" August 9, 2018 5.0 The numerous tabs that we can choose from are great. The tabs are organized in a way that makes it easy to find what you need. The patient tabs, items tab (Rx and Otc), immunization tab, etc, have a lot of choices to choose from that makes my job easier. The types of reports that you can choose to run are very helpful and I use the reports daily. Pioneer Rx is very user friendly and is the best pharmacy system I have ever used. Pros Pioneer Rx provides an abundant amount of information, reports, and ease to find what you need. Cons I think one thing that could make the system better is if it was easier to customize a report that is not available from the already established reports. Review Source LH Letetia H. Pharmacist Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pioneer is the best pharmacy software I've used to date" April 9, 2018 5.0 Pros I love how often they update the software and how many different functions it can perform. It would be much harder to maintain our medication sync program without this software. Customer support is always promptly available. Cons Sometimes there are software glitches after an update, but they are usually fixed quickly. Also, it would be great if making your own reports was more user friendly. Review Source JJ Jared J. Pharmacist in charge Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have been incredibly happy with our switch to pioneer, I can't imagine what life was like before." June 22, 2018 5.0 Pros I love the ease with which to do everything. I have a saying about pioneer, "if you can dream it you can do it". Pioneer has made life so easy for us here at the pharmacy. I especially love the sync program, it has been the best thing for our workflow Cons I have been extremely happy with pioneer, I can't think of anything that I would want to change right now. Review Source vA victoria A. pharmacy tech Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "very easy to use" May 16, 2018 5.0 Pros The service is great everytime there is an issue a represenitive gets in touch with the pharmacy manager very quikly. Its very simple to use I started using the software and in a few days I had the system pretty much down, and it was a bit different from what I use to work on i like this very much! Cons when editing scripts it would be better if there were just a save button to prevent from waisting so much paper Review Source TI Tamer I. Pharmacist/ owner Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I couldn't Imagine starting my pharmacy without the help of Pioneer, They held my hand from day one." May 29, 2018 5.0 Pros I love the training they offer for new Techs and i LOVE the support system they have in place. My account manager knows all my staff and she is there always for me. I remember the first couple of weeks how they assigned a person just for me to help me out. #priceless Cons I would like to see automated report printed (old will call, cycle counts...) rather than manual printing. Review Source TG Theresa G. Pharmacy Technician Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pretty easy to use" June 6, 2018 4.0 Pros I like that you have to scan the label and medications when filling. Definitely prevents any sort of error Cons I wish that the patient name would be in alphabetical order in the pending doctor call back/print queue automatically. Review Source MM Matthew M. Pharmacy Specialist Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ease of use is excellent." March 27, 2018 5.0 Pros Care Goals, point of sale, and Fedex integration are fantastic. We also love the integration with our IVR telephone system and overall professional design of the software. Cons As an HIV specialty pharmacy, we would love to see Transgender patient profile options to better serve our patient population. Review Source CD Chris D. Staff Pharmacist Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best clinical dispensing software on the market. " July 20, 2017 5.0 Workflow optimization, clinical patients, etc... Pros Changes with the time. Patient profile allows for great customization and clinical additions. I also like all of the workflow optimization. Cons The dual billing for NYS EPIC is not intuitive. The add ons need to be customized to the workflow properly. Review Source KD Kevin D. Pharmacist Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "System is a breeze to operate." April 5, 2018 5.0 Pros Ease of use and the many functions that it is capable of doing. Only wish I had more time to investigate what it can actually do. Pioneer is constantly upgrading the software to make it more user friendly and willing to seek advice from users on ways that it can be more efficient and easier to use. Cons Doesn't have any major flaws that I have noticed. Usually if there is an issue it is eventually corrected by Pioneer. Review Source BR Bruce R. Owner Retail Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Nice.."
