App da Farmácia
AI Powered digital agent for a group of pharmacies in Portugal
AI-powered WhatsApp assistant automating pharmacy operations and scaling digital customer care.
O desafio
App da Farmácia faced a growing operational burden as WhatsApp became a primary customer channel, with pharmacy teams overwhelmed by repetitive enquiries, manual order management, and prescription coordination.
The volume of digital interactions was scaling faster than the team’s capacity to respond, creating bottlenecks in customer service and putting pressure on pharmaceutical compliance.
The challenge was to modernise customer interactions through automation — without compromising the human oversight and regulatory rigour that pharmacy operations demand.
