| dc.description.abstract | This project is aimed at developing an Electronic Pharmaceutical Distribution System for Cornerstone pharmaceuticals that will cover and enable pharmaceutical agents get access to pharmaceutical distribution channels and be able to manage and make delivery arrangements, as well as view current distribution status, check for available drugs, store information on drugs and customers, manage distribution of the drugs and enable online sales. iPharm, which is the developed online pharmaceutical system, addresses the problem of delayed services, shortage of essential medicines, failure to access the appropriate drugs, very high costs in distribution of drugs as well as lack of proper accountability of drugs, and inefficiency in the distribution system by enabling rapid matching of the drug supply with the high demand through online sales, proper accountability of drugs and drug distribution. The system was developed using the waterfall model of the system development life cycle critically looking at each phase of development until the system was completed. The research methodology used was a mixture of qualitative and quantitative approaches which called for data collection tools such as questionnaires, observation guides and internet journals as well as Microsoft excel and SPSS for data analysis | en_US |
