Bidafarma
Migration of B2B portal serving the pharmacist network
No. 1 company in Andalusia, the result of the union of 12 pharmaceutical cooperatives, mainly Andalusian, and operating throughout the country except Aragon, Levante and Catalonia, competing with the other leader in the sector, Cofares.
OBJECTIVES
Bidafarma has developed in Liferay a public and private portal through which it provides services to more than 9,000 pharmacists. They log in daily to place orders, consult stock, delivery notes and invoices, make bank transactions and returns, or request promotions offered by the company in collaboration with pharmaceutical laboratories. The need arose to migrate the portal to the latest version of Liferay, while maintaining the manufacturer’s support. To carry out the Project, it relies on its trusted partner, atSistemas.
RESULTS
- Secure and scalable portal infrastructure
- Direct manufacturer support for any security, technical or functional issues
- New look of the portal and better user experience, thanks to this project and to the consulting and UX/UI services carried out in the previous months by atSistemas
- Potential cost savings as this is an infrastructure that could be used for other functions, such as the Intranet itself.
- Better efficiency by creating a single communication hub with Bidafarma’s ERP
.
More cost savings by creating a more efficient infrastructure.
.
THE SOLUTION
- Supply of Liferay DXP 7.2 licences
- Service of migration of the Liferay 6.2 portal infrastructure to Liferay DXP 7.2: customisation, modularization according to the OSGi (Open Services Gateway initiative) standard, go-live strategy and migration of the Bidafarma App
- Infrastructure deployment services
- After analysing the code, a refactoring of the portlets was proposed to improve the integration with Bidafarma’s SAP ERP.
