Evaluating the digital pharmacy: measuring success across metrics

To evaluate the digital pharmacy's performance, we established key performance indicators (KPIs) across business and customer domains:


  • Sales metrics: Monitored prescriptions filled and conversion rates to gauge user engagement and effectiveness of the platform.

  • Operational metrics: Analyzed same-day fill rates and first call resolution rates as indicators of our operational efficiency.

  • Customer experience metrics: Used Customer Satisfaction and Net Promoter Scores, along with attrition rates, to assess user satisfaction.


These metrics provided a comprehensive view of our success in terms of market engagement, operational smoothness, and customer satisfaction.
