Wenger's public website was developed by the BCD WebSmart consulting team. This site allows customers to access products and information and uses flash which communicates with the back end using XML. The link on the bottom of the page that says “HTML” will take you to the “HTML version” of the site which is similar except served in HTML. The XML used by flash is interpreted to generate HTML instead. This site is primarily for users who don’t have flash or who don’t like flash. Read more »

uniPHARM recently implemented a major internal ERP package with the objective of improving the organizations ability to service shareholders and customers. Most of these customers are pharmacies that order pharmaceuticals and consumer products directly from uniPHARM. Previously, these orders were processed via an Electronic Order Book (EOB) package. This required each pharmacy to install and configure this software on a local PC. Orders were transmitted via e-mail resulting in a variety of problems associated with such an old, unreliable system. This system did not provide uniPHARM’s clients with real time data, validation, pricing or order confirmation. It was also unable to provide alternative products if requested brands were unavailable.
