The Pain Points Behind Proqol’s Field Challenges
As Proqol Healthcare scaled its operations, several process inefficiencies began to impact field efficiency and reporting accuracy.
1. Field visit planning was not clearly structured, making it difficult for managers to track coverage and ensure doctors were being visited effectively.
2. Daily Call Reports were not always consistent, making it harder to get a clear and reliable view of field activities and performance.
3. Sales data from distributors was not fully consolidated, limiting visibility into product performance and actual market demand.
4. Tracking product samples and promotional inputs was not streamlined, leading to challenges in maintaining accurate records and accountability.
5. Pharma teams did not always have a clear view of market trends, making it difficult to understand what was working and take quick decisions.
The Approach to Overcoming These Challenges
To address these challenges, SANeForce introduced a set of customized solutions tailored to Proqol Healthcare’s field operations.
Implemented Solutions
✨ Tour Plan (TP) - Structured Field Visit Planning
With Tour Plan (TP), medical reps can plan and organize their field visits in advance, ensuring better coverage and prioritization of doctors. Managers gain visibility into schedules and approvals, making it easier to monitor field movements and ensure efficient territory management.
✨ Daily Call Reporting (DCR) - Structured Doctor Visit Reporting
DCR allows medical reps to capture doctor visit details in a consistent and structured format, improving the quality of field data. Managers and admins get real-time access to reports, making performance tracking more reliable and reducing delays in reporting.
✨ Secondary Sales – Better Market Visibility
The Secondary Sales module consolidates distributor-level sales data, giving medical reps better context on product movement in their territories. For managers, this improves visibility into demand patterns and supports quicker, data-driven decisions.
✨ SAN ZEN E-Detailing – Digital Doctor Engagement
With SAN ZEN E-Detailing, medical reps can present product information digitally during doctor visits, making interactions more flexible and engaging. It also allows managers to ensure updated and consistent communication across the field.
✨ Sample & Input Management – Tracking Promotional Materials and Samples
This feature enables medical reps to easily record the distribution of samples and promotional inputs. Managers and admins benefit from improved tracking, better inventory control, and more accurate records for accountability.
Planned Enhancements yet to be implemented
✨ RCPA – Enhanced Market Visibility
With RCPA, medical reps will be able to capture insights on prescriptions, competitor brands, and treatment trends during field visits. This will help managers understand market shifts, identify fast-moving brands, and align strategies with actual demand.
✨ Automated Expense Management – Simplified Expense Tracking
With automated expense management, medical reps will be able to record and submit expenses more easily, reducing manual effort. Managers and admins will benefit from faster approvals, better tracking, and improved control over field-related expenses.
