It's simple.

Add stock to e-CASS Web, and the next time someone orders that item, e-CASS will take it from the Excess Stock, and you can send dispatch notes to make sure the stock is transferred โ€“ whether from another of your branches or within your own.

Members can get Excess Stock added to their e-CASS Web from today!

From volatile prices, long lists of out-of-stocks, MDS, discount schemes & price tiers, there are too many moving parts to ordering for dispensers to play with.

That's why we're working with Dispex to make things simpler.

๐ˆ๐ง๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐œ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ƒ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐ฑ ๐ญ๐ž๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ:
Preloaded templates to ensure you get the best possible price, according to your wholesaler discounts and MDS schemes - all bespoke to you.

These have been developed by Dispex, bringing their knowledge of dispensing doctors onto e-CASS, to automate more parts of your ordering.

Not all wholesalers offer the same discount on the same product. So, using the Dispex Template, branded products are be automatically directed to the right wholesaler for your dispensary.

Less errors and you get the best savings - every time.

You can find out more about how e-CASS and Dispex slot together over in our article in the latest Dispex Gazette!

How Focus Chemist โ€œchanged their purchasing patternsโ€ for the better ๐Ÿ‘‡

26/11/2025

๐Ÿ’Šโš ๏ธThere's nothing worse than delivery delays letting down patients.
Being able to tell them exactly when they can pick stuff up โ€œis crucialโ€, John says.

John told us he used to worry about losing patients because of not knowing when stock would arrive.

Before joining Cambrian, they had no idea. Their system said stock was available, but it often wasnโ€™t. They had to order, then hope.

Not anymore thankfully.

He can see availability from every one of his suppliers on e-CASS Web, and is able to let patients know when their prescription will be ready.

It's nice to hear from John that using e-CASS is improving patient experience. His patients now know, if there's medication available in the market - John will have it.

Why is finding the cheapest price so complex?

For Olayemi at Grand Health Pharmacy , ordering took too much time and headspace.

Whether bouncing around PMR tabs, searching multiple portals or having suppliers ring the pharmacy, it all made a simple decision to get the cheapest price, far too complicated.

That's why they use e-CASS instead.

"For us, it's easier to just log on to e-CASS Web and see all the items in one place."

๐Ÿ’ท They can see whether an item is profitable before they order
๐Ÿ”” Get stock alerts to notify them when medicine they need is available, and
๐ŸคHave Richard to chat through their profit reports and make changes to their settings.

Simple and transparent, helping you free time for patients.
