### "Intuitive Program with Great Features! "

November 9, 2018

5.0

Datascan is great because if there is a bug or if something doesn't work, the team addresses the problem quickly. They are responsive to input and feature requests for things that are specific to your pharmacy. It reflects the mindset that we have at our pharmacy - not a big operation where you are just a number, but an environment where the software people know you, your setup, and your needs.

Pros

It is evident that this software is made with the mindset of a pharmacist and the flow of a retail pharmacy. New features are consistently being unveiled that allow the program to evolve with the ever changing world of pharmacy, healthcare, and technology. The med sync is intuitive and the workflow delivery functions are a big help with our setup.

Cons

Sometimes there are bugs or features that may not work as imagined. But those are usually addressed within reason.

### "Best in the West if not the entire USA!"

October 18, 2024

5.0

Regardless of your issue or need, you call and anyone who answers (in less than 3 rings) can and will help address any and all concerns. Seriously, it is that good. I love that if there is an issue they will put me through to one of the actual programmers! Come on who does that?! I have even been able to talk to \[sensitive content hidden\] and he made sure I was taken care of and satisfied.

Pros

They respond! Simple and easy to work with. It is actually a pleasure to call and know they not only take care of us immediately (no wait!!) but you can tell they care and want us to succeed.

Cons

I wish I could say something I least like, if for anything their benefit, but I cannot say anything.

### "WinPharm Review"

June 7, 2024

4.0

Customer Service is great. Overall satisfied, but definitely could use upgrading to be on the same level as Pioneer Rx. Would like to see the MedSync program improved, QR Code on Rx Prescription bottle labels, etc. Would also like to see more integration with other programs.

Pros

Customer Service is always great. Short hold times and always helpful.

Cons

MedSync and mobile app. Also, 340B setup overestimates gross margin. Should be able to customize and make more user friendly.

### "A very happy customer"

October 15, 2024

5.0

We switched from another system and it was always very hard to reach someone for help when we had questions. Winpharm is a much easier software and the support is so much more helpful.

Pros

It's very easy to use and we're always able to reach someone if we have questions or need help with something.

Cons

I can't think of anything that we don't like. We've been using the software for many years

### "Exactly what an independent pharmacy needs."

October 16, 2024

5.0

Overall experience was excellent. No question was left unanswered, and we are extremely happy with the reduction in cost.

Pros

Winpharm was very easy to learn, the training staff was helpful and knowledgeable. The simple process of filling a prescription is quick and efficient. Help desk staff has immediate response rates and if a question needed more research they connected back in less than 24 hours,

Cons

Took a little extra time to connect with all the nuances of the program,

### "Wish we switched sooner!"

November 3, 2022

4.0

Experience has been excellent. Very pleased with my decision. Customer service is TOP NOTCH. With my old software vendor, I was used to calling customer service and leaving a message that may have never been returned. DataScan's representatives are extremely knowledgeable and remote in to your system to fix the problem on the spot.

Pros

After switching from our previous software vendor, and after this "old dog" learning new tricks, I realized how much faster and easier it is to process prescriptions. Processing prescriptions is a breeze and it has freed up more time for other tasks during the day. The POS is easy to use and the mobile delivery option is of great use. There are MANY more functions of the software that we haven't even utilized yet.

Cons

We had implemented the new software about a year before DataScan went through a change in platform and programming. We had some difficulties with delivery/POS/dispensing system integration and communication, however, customer support was excellent in helping us to hammer out issues during the process. Most issues have been resolved and the system is working smoothly again.

Reason for choosing Datascan Pharmacy Software

Independent family business, just like mine. We independents strive to give the best service, why wouldn't I trust an independent software company for my processing needs? Customer service is the best.

Five out of five stars! They rock! Great product that they are always developing and making better.

Pros

It works, it is straightforward and their help/support team is readily available. This is an excellent software. We use it for processing and as an advanced POS. I highly recommend it.

Cons

I can't think of anything. This software simply works and it doesn't break down on you.

### "Switching software in a pandemic "

March 22, 2021

5.0

Great reporting capabilities, ease of use of the program overall, very user friendly

Pros

Having switched to Datascan in a pandemic year, the software made it much easier for us to coordinate prompt delivery and shipping of maintenance fills, especially of pediatric compounds. Many of our families with young children, either temporarily or permanently moved away during COVID, and being able to forecast and anticipate their prescription needs by clicking on "View Daily Rx Log" has tremendously helped. I also find the Patient Notes and E-Rx annotations extremely valuable in the context of filling compounded prescriptions that do not always come through clearly via e-prescribing. Adding and creating compounds \[in Datascan’s software\] is a breeze!

Cons

At first I thought the system froze too often but then realized that some of computers were still operating on Windows 7! PLEASE upgrade to Windows 10 Pro before you do anything

### "Winpharm is a great system!"

November 4, 2022

5.0

Winpharm is a smaller company that delivers big. I love that I have a relationship with them, and know their employees well. Additionally, they are quick to respond to problems, are readily available to answer phones and emails, and are always available to hear from me.. the customer!

Pros

I enjoy the software, the support staff, and the company as a whole. Their features and updates are first-class and relatively easy to operate, and operate quickly and efficiently.

Cons

There aren't any real cons. All systems have flaws, bugs, and errors. Winpharm works quickly to correct errors and does so in a very competent manner.

The simplicity of the software allows for much faster processing time of prescriptions. Very user friendly system that can be customized to the needs of the pharmacy. The support team is great as well and really work with the pharmacy to resolve any issues or make improvements to the software.

Cons

Reason for choosing Datascan Pharmacy Software

The biggest reason for us switching to WinPharm was the ability to have a robust software that could be customized to match our workflow. We have a very unique business model and their willingness to work with us was huge.

March 27, 2021

Great integration with vaccine reporting which is really coming in handy right now during the COVID-19 pandemic

Pros

Very customizable to your business, the IT team is always willing to work with you and help you implement features of the software. Very powerful software that can really do a lot and provides options that are useful weather you are filling 100 scripts a day or 1000.

Cons

Sometimes too many clicks. i.e. I always get tripped up when typing a new script for e-prescribe, the software will alert you that their is an older RX with refills still, or that the script is too soon to fill, or both.

November 5, 2014

5.0

I am extremely satisfied with our choice of Winpharm as our pharmacy software vendor. I have been a pharmacist for 30 years and used to work as a relief "travelling" pharmacist for many different companies. I have had experience with almost all the big vendors out there. When I decided to open my own independent pharmacy over 3 years ago, I found Winpharm to be my number one choice after comparing multiple other vendors. I was able to talk with the company president, Kevin, who devoted his personal time to make sure all of my questions were answered. Being on the west coast, in Oregon, I was concerned about the long distance and difference in time zones, however those concerns never even came up. We have gotten excellent customer service and every issue is usually resolved in one phone call. I am forever grateful for choosing Winpharm/Datascan! Not only do we save money every month, we can and will add new services as our business continues to grow, including the POS system and other options that will help streamline our workflow and paperwork. The Winpharm software program is the most user-friendly system I have ever used, being window's based. I also love the ease of billing 3rd party insurance and a simple procedure to coordinate benefits for patients with more than one insurance. It was easy to learn how to use and also easy to train technicians to be self-sufficient in a short time. If I were starting over today, I wouldn't change anything and continue to be completely satisfied with Winpharm!

Pros

the ease of the keys and how to ring sales and maintain sales inventory and product sold.

Cons

The credit card takes too long to process on 1 register and the receipt is very slow in printing. Also, to be able to shut receipt off at any given time, and to add gift receipt.
