Start Free TrialWhy Pharmacies Struggle with Phone Calls
Pharmacies across Ireland and Europe face mounting pressure to manage high call volumes while maintaining service quality. During peak hours—morning rushes, lunch time, and after-work periods—staff are stretched thin juggling phone inquiries alongside dispensing medications, managing stock, and assisting customers in-store.
Missed calls represent lost revenue, as customers seeking prescription refills or medication advice turn to competitors. After-hours emergencies leave no one available to handle urgent inquiries, damaging customer trust and potentially impacting patient health outcomes. Traditional receptionists add significant overhead costs without solving the fundamental problem: they require salary, benefits, holiday cover, and training.
Many pharmacies struggle to afford dedicated phone staff, forcing pharmacists and technicians to interrupt critical tasks to answer calls. This context-switching reduces efficiency, increases errors in dispensing, and creates a poor customer experience.
Customers experience long wait times, missed callbacks, and inconsistent service quality depending on who answers the phone. The result is a cycle of declining customer satisfaction, lost prescription refills, and increased operational stress. Pharmacies need a solution that provides professional, instant responses without the cost and complexity of traditional staffing models.

Common Use Cases in Pharmacies
Prescription Refill Requests
Patients call to request refills on their regular medications. The AI agent checks the prescription validity, confirms medication availability, and either completes the refill or schedules it for pickup—all without pharmacist intervention for routine cases.
“Customer: 'Can I refill my diabetes medication?' AI: 'I can help with that. Checking your records... Your metformin is approved for 2 more refills. I'm preparing your prescription now—it'll be ready for pickup in 2 hours.'”
Medication Inquiries & Dosage Questions
Patients call with questions about their medications—side effects, interactions, or dosage timing. The AI provides accurate information for common queries and intelligently escalates complex pharmacokinetic questions to your pharmacist.
“Customer: 'Can I take my antibiotic with food?' AI: 'Yes, your amoxicillin should be taken with food to reduce stomach upset. Take one capsule every 8 hours with meals. Would you like me to note any other questions for your pharmacist?'”
After-Hours Emergency Inquiries
Outside your operating hours, patients call with urgent medication questions or emergency prescription needs. The AI provides guidance, captures their details, and schedules an urgent callback from your on-call pharmacist.
“Customer calls at 11 PM: 'I've run out of my heart medication.' AI: 'I understand this is urgent. I'm capturing your details now and alerting our on-call pharmacist. You'll receive a callback within 30 minutes.'”
Appointment & Consultation Scheduling
Patients book medication reviews, flu jabs, blood pressure checks, or travel vaccination consultations. The AI checks your calendar and confirms availability instantly, reducing manual scheduling work.
“Customer: 'I'd like to book a flu vaccination.' AI: 'I have appointments available tomorrow at 10 AM, 2 PM, or 3 PM. Which suits you best?'”
“Since implementing VoiceFleet, we've reclaimed our pharmacists' time and eliminated the frustration of missed calls during our busiest periods.
