Overview

We partnered with a leading US pharmacy chain to build a mobile app that lets customers manage prescriptions, schedule pick-ups, and track refill reminders — all without visiting a branch. The result was a 40% reduction in in-store wait times, a 3x jump in app engagement, and a 4.7-star rating on launch day.

Situation

The Challenge

Customers at this pharmacy chain had to visit in person to manage prescriptions, request refills, and check pick-up status. Long queues during peak hours and a lack of digital communication meant customers were frequently frustrated. The pharmacy had no mobile presence, losing engagement to competitors with digital-first experiences.

Task

The Mission

CGS built a full-featured pharmacy mobile app that allowed customers to manage prescriptions, schedule pick-ups, and receive refill reminders — eliminating unnecessary branch visits and dramatically reducing in-store queue times.

  • Build iOS & Android pharmacy app
  • Implement prescription management system
  • Enable pick-up scheduling & reminders
  • Integrate push notifications for refill alerts
  • Connect to pharmacy backend & inventory system
Action

The Execution

1
Discovery

Mapped prescription management workflows and customer pain points in-store.

2
Design

Designed a 3-tap checkout flow with clear prescription status visibility.

3
Development

Integrated with dispensing system and built push notification engine.

4
Launch

Launched on iOS & Android with in-store digital queue kiosk integration.

We integrated directly with the pharmacy's dispensing and inventory system to provide real-time prescription status. The app used push notifications for refill reminders and pick-up alerts, driving repeat engagement. A digital queue system was built into the in-store kiosks so customers could check in remotely and receive an estimated wait time. The checkout flow was streamlined to 3 taps from launch to confirmed pick-up.

Result

The Impact

In-store wait times dropped by 40% within the first month as prescription pick-ups shifted to the digital queue system. Daily active app usage tripled compared to the previous online portal. The app earned a 4.7-star rating on launch day and maintained it through the first quarter. Refill reminder push notifications drove a measurable increase in repeat prescription completions.
