Top 3 Concerns About Making a Software Switch
1. Learning a new software product and teaching staff:
A large part of the pharmacy conversion process is software training, and we do this in 4 different steps:
- Prior to us being live on-site for pharmacy software conversion, you will have access to prerecorded, professionally edited training videos. This will help you and your staff get introduced to the system. The day prior to switching over to our software, our staff is on-site, live, and training all of your staff.
- Once the cutover to our system is complete, our staff will be there with you, running the store for a few days.
- While the videos are always accessible, we offer follow-up remote training at no cost to you.
2. Data and patient history in your current system:
You will have it all! Our pharmacy software conversion process is handled with care. We do not come on-site until you have signed off that your data is 100% complete. We provide a detailed checklist to help you review your data in our software, ensuring everything is correct and complete. The average conversion is a 6-8-week process that allows both you and Datascan Pharmacy Software to cover all bases and make sure your pharmacy is ready.
3. Cost to Convert:
We offer free software conversions to pharmacies that are established. Once you are ready to dig further into the possibility of making a switch, give us a call. We’d be happy to go over the details and answer any questions you have about pharmacy software conversion.
“Over the past 13 years, I have tried several of the bigger, more touted companies (McKesson PharmaServ, QS1, Rx30) and all of them were very disappointing. Through RxPride, I came across Datascan Pharmacy Software. I had never heard of them, but decided to make a call and send an email. I received a call from Kevin, Datascan Pharmacy Software’s owner, not some sales rep who works solely on commissions. Kevin listened to my concerns and expectations, and also made thoughtful suggestions. In other words, he took the time to understand what I really needed, instead of just pushing software on me.”

Our Process
There are many concerns that come with the thought of switching to a new pharmacy software system. Many owners would rather stay with a company that either has outdated software or needs to be servicing them well just to avoid making the change. Datascan Pharmacy Software has been doing data conversions and software training for decades. We have a methodical process, as outlined below. This is a careful process that is not rushed, and we have hundreds of clients who can testify we did not turn their businesses upside down. In fact, they were pleasantly surprised at how smooth the pharmacy software conversion went.
Datascan Pharmacy Software’s Proven Software Conversion Method for Pharmacies
- Once a signed proposal is received, our project manager reaches out for an introduction.
- The client receives our conversion packet, which includes multiple questionnaires and helpful information as they make this transition.
- The project manager coordinates with the client and our conversion company to pull the first set of data.
- Within 1-2 weeks, the client will receive a remote login to our pharmacy software with their data already there. They also receive a checklist and a walkthrough of our software. Using this information, they can check current migrated data in their system vs. what was in the old system and report any pharmacy software problems.
- During this time, the client receives login info to the back end of our site. This allows them to watch some tutorials and software training videos so they can start getting acquainted with our system.
- Any reported issues are repaired by our team of programmers and delivered as an additional data set(s) until kinks are worked out and all data is 100% good to go.
- Once the client signs off on the data as good and checklists have been followed, it’s time for the pharmacy software conversion. We then schedule a date for a live switch over with the client.
On-Site Schedule:
We will schedule 1-2 Datascan Pharmacy Software team members on-site during your change in software. This can be for 3-5 days, depending on client volume and if you are using Point of Sale.
First 30 Days: For updates to find out how we can make the software conversion experience better, our project manager will reach out to your pharmacy weekly. We ask questions to find out what you feel might be missing, anything that may be slowing your workflow down, and to address any other concerns you have. We then work as a team to enhance the overall software conversion phase for your pharmacy.
First 31-90: We will schedule an optimization training with you and your staff to go over all of the exciting features. These features help build star rating adherence and automate many of your pharmacy processes. This is a very exciting and informative instruction for pharmacies during the switch in software.
During this period, our project manager will continue to follow up with you every other week.

Conversion Client Testimonials
Discover why hundreds of independent pharmacies choose Datascan Pharmacy Software over the competition.
“Datascan Pharmacy Software did a great job handling our conversion from our previous vendor from start to finish! First they gave us detailed quotes on hardware, software, and install. The other 2 companies we considered only gave us bottom line numbers so we had no idea where the costs truly came from. After choosing Datascan Pharmacy Software they guided us through the conversion process and made sure we had all of our data from the previous vendor. All equipment was sent to the pharmacy prior to the install team coming out. We were up and running in less than a day. They stayed for a few days to do training on the system, which was very easy to pick up and learn. I was actually surprised at how smoothly everything went. I would definitely recommend Datascan Pharmacy Software and WinPharm to other pharmacies.”

Pharmacist/Owner Crawford Drug Dorchester MA
“When three separate Pharmacist owner friends of mine told me that Datascan Pharmacy Software was terrific, with the best support, I was very skeptical. I had been an Opus customer for 18 years, and I felt that I needed a change after the most recent series of mergers. Opus had become too big.
I spoke with Kevin, the owner of Datascan Pharmacy Software, about the data conversion. This, to me, was the most frightening part of a change to the new software. What I found was that every step of the process was very methodical and involved a lot of hand-holding. After I checked and rechecked the converted data numerous times and was sure it was correct, I was ready for my startup date with Datascan Pharmacy Software. Logan and Matt were at my store teaching my staff the new software and were ready to intercede in case of problems or if we just wanted to make some changes to the way our RX labels looked. Suffice it to say the conversion went very smoothly. I then proceeded to call Logan many times a day for a few weeks about little changes that needed to be made and many questions about the software. He was very congenial and promptly helped me each time without hesitation.
The topping on the cake was when I called Kevin (the owner) with a question at 6 PM one day. The call went to his voicemail, so I figured he was gone for the day. I was amazed when I received a return call from him about a half hour later while on my trip home from work. That is true dedication.
Dealing with Datascan Pharmacy Software is like dealing with a family, as opposed to dealing with a big, cold corporation. I can truly say that you will not get that kind of attention anywhere else, and I am a true believer. Make the move….you won’t be sorry.”

“After struggling for quite awhile with our previous software system, we decided to make a change to Datascan Pharmacy Software’s WinPharm software. It was one of the best decisions we could have made for our pharmacies. The thought of the conversion process can be daunting; however, Datascan Pharmacy Software stood with us throughout the entire conversion process. Their employees were there every step of the way to ensure not only a smooth conversion, but also a smooth implementation. Their implementation team stayed with us until all of our employees were more than comfortable. Other pharmacy software providers force you to fit into the mold of their system, which is not always beneficial in today’s pharmacy world. Datascan Pharmacy Software has been more than willing to help us mold and adapt our Winpharm software and Point-of-Sale software, in order to best fit our pharmacy and ever changing world we as pharmacies operate in.”

“About 3 years ago I bought a pharmacy in Manhattan, NY. At the time, the pharmacy was using Opus as their pharmacy software. I had been using Datascan Pharmacy Software for many years before. I raved about Datascan Pharmacy Software to the pharmacists that were working at the time, and they were all very hesitant to switch pharmacy software vendors. Today, all my pharmacists rave about how easy and up to date Datascan Pharmacy Software is… they don’t miss our old vendor at all. I want to take this opportunity to thank the owner, Kevin Minassian, and his entire team for making the transition from to Datascan Pharmacy Software so quick and easy. Everyone knows that there inevitably will be some sort of hiccup. What was so impressive with Datascan Pharmacy Software was their prompt and precise response to whatever was needed, to get the pharmacy up and running perfectly. I would and will always recommend any pharmacy owner to switch from what they are using to Datascan Pharmacy Software. Thank you Datascan Pharmacy Software for such a seamless transition to, in my opinion, the number one pharmacy software.”
Kenny Wolk,
Owner, Park West Pharmacy:
“When we were in the market for a new pharmacy system, I researched many different companies and Datascan Pharmacy Software consistently landed in the top 5 of customer satisfaction. I had demonstrations by several companies, and Datascan Pharmacy Software stood out, hands down. I really like the ability of the system to add workstations without the purchase of extra equipment, and the adaptability of the system, which is the main reason we decided on Datascan Pharmacy Software for our new pharmacy system.
We had Datascan Pharmacy Software installed in June of 2016 and have not looked back since. When our conversion day came, Datascan Pharmacy Software had staff (Logan and Matt) on site for the first week of hands-on training for the staff. They were patient and created an easy learning environment for everyone. The conversion went smoothly, and when Logan and Matt left at the end of the week, we were confident in our ability to navigate the system. Of course, as we worked more with the system, questions came up. Whenever we called Datascan Pharmacy Software, we were helped immediately. This help continues to be excellent to this day.
We are a tribal health facility so our pharmacy needs are very specialized. Datascan Pharmacy Software has been extremely helpful when we have needed changes to our system to accommodate our needs. The staff is pleasant, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. You will not regret changing to Datascan Pharmacy Software; we did, and we have not been happier.”
Michaele Bacoch,
PharmD, Pharmacy Manager, Washoe Tribe of Nevada Pharmacy:
“There are a few basic questions I ask myself when it comes to pharmacy software.
1. My staff and I already work hard. Is the pharmacy software going to enable us also to work smart?
2. Am I going to have to work around the pharmacy software, or will the software accommodate my needs and workflow?
3. Will my existing staff and new hires be easily trained and operational?
4. What is the quality of the provider’s help desk and support?
5. And the most dreaded one… Is the data conversion going to be accurate?
I am not naïve; I understand there is no perfect software for everyone. To the extent possible, my quest is nonetheless to check off ALL of the boxes.
Over the past 13 years, I have tried several of the bigger, more touted companies (McKesson PharmaServ, QS1, Rx30), and all of them were very disappointing. Through RxPride, I came across Datascan Pharmacy Software. I had never heard of them but decided to make a call and send an email. I received a call from Kevin, Datascan Pharmacy Software’s owner, not some sales rep who works solely on commissions. Kevin listened to my concerns and expectations and also made thoughtful suggestions. In other words, he took the time to understand what I really needed instead of just pushing software on me.
In fact, Kevin later amended Datascan Pharmacy Software’s software to accommodate my need regarding my “Long Term Care” business, even before I agreed to purchase their software. Kevin understood this enhancement would help his current pharmacy clients grow their businesses. I don’t know of any other software company that will deliver valuable enhancements before signing a client. With other companies, it often doesn’t even happen after installation!
The data conversion was seamless, and, again, Kevin and his staff didn’t rush us to get started with WinPharm until we were completely satisfied with the data. I’ve been using WinPharm for almost a year, and there are still functionalities my staff and I are learning about. That said, WinPharm has checked off all of my boxes so far. There is so much automation and capability built into this system. It has helped optimize my staff’s time and thus reduced my costs.
The most impressive thing about Datascan Pharmacy Software is that the owner and staff are willing to listen to a client’s specific needs, adapt, and keep up with industry changes. They will make appropriate updates in a timely manner. They get to know your specific business and your little quirks or needs and take care of you individually. The staff is very patient and communicative.
The bottom line is that the value and service that we, as independent pharmacies, provide to our customers is what Kevin and his staff provide to Datascan Pharmacy Software clients. They are exceptionally dedicated. I’ve received communication back from Kevin, Brian, Artie, Matt, Sarah, Logan, and other Datascan Pharmacy Software staff even after normal business hours and on the weekend when I wasn’t expecting anything until the next business day.
As I said before, there is no “perfect” software. However, Kevin himself and Brian, his Vice President, flew out to my store to personally address my issues, my needs and my wants. That is dedication! Again, Datascan Pharmacy Software’s relationship with their clients is akin to independent pharmacists’ connections with their patients. We understand one another.
In a heartbeat, I would recommend Datascan Pharmacy Software to anyone. This is the best pharmacy software experience I’ve had – from the initial sales call to the data conversion, implementation, training, and installation (thank you, Logan and Matt) to support and innovation (thank you, everyone at Datascan Pharmacy Software). The Software is very impressive and the staff even more so.
The only regret I have is that I didn’t switch sooner.”
