What is visit and tour planning software?

Medical reps cover dozens of doctors and pharmacies, and good coverage depends on planning: who to see, on which day, in what order. Visit planning software replaces the paper or Excel tour programme with plans that live next to the visits themselves.

In RxRep, reps plan visits for any day or week, then send the plan to their manager for approval. On the day, the plan becomes their to-do list. Managers see who is on track today, and can open any rep's day to compare the planned route with the GPS route they actually took. Out-of-station tours, with their own approval and expense claims, sit alongside.

Why do pharma teams need visit planning?

  • Tour programmes in Excel are out of date by Tuesday
  • Important doctors get missed while easy ones get visited twice
  • Reps zig-zag across the city instead of following a sensible route
  • Managers can't tell during the day who is on track
  • Approvals by phone and WhatsApp leave no record
