This blog is not about all the medicine shops in BBSR (Bhubaneswar- Capital of Odisha) & also this is not any sponsored advertisements as well.This is just experiences I gained over last few days from below three shops mainly.
It is a recent experience of mine due to regular visits to procure medicines for my wife.
I visited three shops normally and reasons are very simple.
>First and foremost is the flat discount or point system they provide ,
>Then secondly the availability of my drugs &
>Lastly the effective supply chain for getting an unavailable product with committed period of time.
#ApolloPharmacy:-
When we had our first baby my wife used to buy cerelac and other stuffs like diapers and lactogen etc from Apollo pharmacy. as they offered her straight 5% discount on purchase,Later on perhaps they improvised a system where they give us a card which will collect points on my every purchase.
In each FMCG(Fast Moving Consumer Goods e.g. Milk powder ,cerelac,farex,horlix,soap, etc..) product purchase,customer will get 5% discount and that will be stored as a redeemable cash points in every next purchase, But, for medicines, they provide straight 10% discount ,again in the same way(redeemable in next purchases).Service in this shop is quite good and the way they respond to customer is also quite satisfactory till now.I am talking here mainly about the Damanaa Shop.Recently got the news that they are going to open a new shop in KIIT square.Their supply chain system is also good what I observe. If I request some drug's name without giving the money also, they bring those medicines on time and called me for reminding to but it.
MedPlus:-
This is also a new shop opened recently, near to the St. Xavier School Chandrashekharpur (actual location - Kanan Vihar Phase 2 & address link is http://www.medplusindia.com/locations.jsp?selectlocations=&displaystate=0&cities=Select+City&neighbour=Select+Locality).Unlike Apollo they deduct the discounts in each purchase itself and they keep your record by your mobile number only.That is in a way quite attractive to many people who are always suspicious to the point system.But the only demerit in their shop is excessive manpower and less work(what I feel sometimes).You will see 2 people just looking for recieved goods rather than attending to the crowded customers,I feel there is lot of improvisation needed in the customer-handling approach.Always feel chaotic when I entered that shop,
# Ompharmacy:-
I visited this shop just only once in recent times. It is in Kalinga Hospital Square ( address link-)
But it is said to be the 24 X 7 open shop.One critical medicine was not available neither in Apollo nor in Medplus was purchased from this shop in night at around 10:30 PM.Even after buying we had a doubt by not seeing the I.P. after the main composition name of the drug.We called them at 11:30 PM and alas ! they responded very politely, They cleared our doubt within seconds .That is the reason they have been mentioned here,.
Overall I am quite satisfied customer . Lets hope these pharmacy will improve from their current status.My verdict::Apollo is the best medicine shop experience I have obtained.
