Because of this spike, pharmacies need to process a large number of digital requests fast and precisely. Delays may result in unhappy customers, lost revenue, and even compliance problems if your pharmacy lacks automation or finds it difficult to process these orders quickly. Throughout the order lifecycle, generative AI customer support agents guarantee efficient processing, instant confirmations, and smooth communication.

In today’s always on world, customers don’t just ask questions during business hours. They seek support at night, during weekends, and across channels like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, web chat, or SMS.
