DIRECT ANSWER
How can NostraData support a pharmacy's online product availability?
With the pharmacy's authorisation and an agreed data pathway, NostraData stock-on-hand data can help project current pharmacy products, prices and availability into an online store. The feed still needs identity checks, freshness controls, conflict review and an owner-controlled switch before publication.
PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
How to approach it
Record pharmacy authority
The pharmacy confirms that its data may be used for the defined online-store purpose.
Map the pharmacy location
The source location must match the correct Pharmacia pharmacy record before any inventory is applied.
Reconcile product identities
Barcode, supplier and catalogue evidence are reviewed conservatively so one product cannot absorb another pack or variant.
Publish only ready inventory
Unsafe, stale or unresolved rows stay out of the patient-facing experience.
OWNER CHECKLIST
What to confirm
- Signed data authority
- Correct pharmacy mapping
- Feed date and source
- Product conflict review
- Stock visibility approval
COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions pharmacy owners ask
Does Pharmacia replace the pharmacy's dispensing system?
No. The integration supports the online catalogue and inventory experience; it does not replace dispensing software.
Is every source row published automatically?
No. Rows with missing, stale or conflicting identity evidence should remain private for review.
Can the pharmacy pause public stock?
Yes. Public inventory should remain owner-controlled.
