Smart Purchasing for Reliable Medicine Supply
Helping Pharmacies Keep the Medicines They Need
For pharmacies, keeping essential medicines in stock starts with making the right purchasing decisions. PillTech, a Cambodian health technology company supporting medicine supply to pharmacies, must balance product availability with the risk of holding too much inventory — a trade‑off that leaves little room for error.
Together with Hystra and Sanofi’s Global Health Unit, Causal Foundry has developed AI‑powered software that helps PillTech anticipate demand, plan replenishment, and decide how much to order.
AI for better decisions
A Clearer Picture of Demand and Inventory
Our software brings demand forecasts, stock information and purchasing recommendations into the tools PillTech’s pharmacies already use. This gives PillTech a clear, ready‑to‑use picture for deciding what to order and when.
Our demand forecasts look beyond recent sales. They learn from what pharmacies request, including recorded demand that could not be fulfilled. This matters because, in this way, the system helps PillTech anticipate needs that completed deliveries alone might not reveal. The system also takes changing demand patterns and infrequently ordered products into account, allowing PillTech to see beyond main trends.
But forecasting is only the first step. Our software then turns that information into purchasing recommendations that incorporate current stock, incoming deliveries and estimated delivery times to calculate how much additional inventory is needed. The system also flags unusual changes in demand, using indicators to help buyers distinguish temporary spikes from patterns that may require closer attention.
Ultimately, the final say belongs to those who know the local market best. PillTech’s purchasing team remains in control of every order, with their deep knowledge of local suppliers, customers and conditions.
