Challenges

As the chain scaled, performance varied widely across stores and regions. The pharmacy leadership team needed a consistent, measurable way to align retail execution with patient loyalty outcomes and manufacturer partnership goals.

• Inconsistent shelf visibility and merchandising execution: Premium shelf placements and end-cap compliance varied store-to-store.
• Fragmented patient loyalty connection: Manufacturer brands struggled to plug into the chain’s loyalty ecosystem in a measurable way.
• Low campaign adoption at store level: Seasonal and therapeutic awareness campaigns lacked consistent participation and tracking.
• Generic substitution outcomes were uneven: Authorized generics and preferred biosimilars were not consistently prioritized.
• Training completion gaps: Store staff had limited incentive to complete product and therapy education modules.
• Manual partner programs slowed payouts: Disconnected tracking created delays, disputes, and weak partner confidence.

Personas involved

• Retail Pharmacy Store Staff: Execute shelf plans, educate patients, support substitution conversations, and drive campaign participation.
• Store & Regional Managers: Monitor performance, enforce merchandising compliance, and run store-wide initiatives.
• Pharmacy Operations Teams: Maintain PMS workflows, ensure consistent execution, and support multi-branch programs.
• Marketing & Loyalty Teams: Manage patient loyalty rules, campaigns, and omnichannel engagement.
• Category & Trade Marketing Teams: Oversee shelf visibility, end-caps, and in-store promotional execution.
• Program Admin / Super Admin: Configure rewards, validate performance, manage budgets, and oversee tiering and approvals in Loyalife.
