The situation
Disconnected branch systems and manual after-sales work
A large retail pharmacy chain needed to modernize fragmented legacy systems across HQ and multiple branches — without disrupting daily operations or retraining staff.
Multiple outdated systems handled product registrations, inventory, and staff management in silos, making branch communication slow and unreliable.
The after-sales workflow was predominantly manual, creating bottlenecks as order volume grew.
Any system overhaul had to preserve familiar user interfaces to avoid disruption and additional training costs.

Key Questions
Can we modernise without making every branch learn a new interface?
UX continuity was a core requirement. The resulting transformation required no additional staff training.
How can headquarters and branches share information reliably?
A centralised SharePoint-based platform replaced fragmented systems and enabled real-time communication across headquarters and branches.
Can we reduce manual after-sales work while keeping operations running?
A web-based after-sales system connected to the supply chain, supported by sprint-by-sprint updates and advance client notification.
The project approach
Change the underlying systems while preserving familiar interfaces
Product registration, inventory and staff management were spread across outdated systems. The solution combined a unified web-based architecture with familiar user interfaces. Delivery also included security penetration testing and modules for data integrity and reliability; on-site collaboration in Melbourne supported rollout.
A phased digital transformation replacing legacy systems with a unified, web-based platform built on modern architecture — maintaining UX continuity throughout.
