On the occasion of Nigeria’s 65th Independence Day, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals unveiled its innovative B2B E-Commerce Platform alongside Scepter360 Pharma, marking a significant milestone in the advancement of the country’s healthcare landscape.
Although the comprehensive Scepter360 healthcare technology suite is still underway, these two operational solutions have been specifically crafted to address some of the most enduring challenges within Nigeria’s healthcare system.
The newly introduced B2B E-Commerce platform revolutionizes pharmaceutical procurement by digitizing the process for hospitals, pharmacies, and healthcare organizations. Users can explore customized product catalogs featuring contract-specific pricing, monitor inventory and delivery statuses in real time, manage accounts with role-based permissions and spending limits, analyze purchasing data, and securely place and approve bulk orders-streamlining operations and minimizing paperwork and delays.
By transitioning from traditional manual methods to automated digital workflows, this platform empowers healthcare providers to optimize efficiency, reduce operational expenses, and dedicate more attention to patient care.
At the launch event, Gerald Damasus, COO and Co-Founder of Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, remarked, “Celebrating Nigeria’s Independence Day reminds us not only of our rich heritage but also of our potential to innovate for the future. We are committed to creating a healthcare ecosystem free from inefficiency, fragmentation, and access barriers. Our goal is straightforward: equip healthcare professionals with the tools necessary to deliver exceptional care.”
Alongside the B2B platform, Arrowhead introduced Scepter360 Pharma, a cutting-edge solution designed to enhance medication availability and streamline supply chain operations across the African continent. By integrating advanced technology, data analytics, and logistics, this platform ensures that essential medicines reach healthcare providers promptly and reliably.
Scepter360 Pharma delivers impressive benefits, including up to 50% reduction in costs, an 80% decrease in stock shortages, and fosters sustainable revenue streams for healthcare institutions.
Looking forward, Arrowhead is set to launch the full Scepter360 Suite-a versatile, modular platform that will unify patient records, workforce scheduling, pharmacy inventory management, telehealth services, and public health data reporting. Unlike conventional systems built for ideal environments, Scepter360 is tailored to Africa’s unique challenges such as inconsistent internet connectivity, budget constraints, and rapidly expanding healthcare needs.
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals’ latest initiatives underscore its dedication to transforming healthcare technology in Africa by delivering practical, impactful solutions that enhance service quality and patient outcomes.
Healthcare providers are now invited to explore and utilize the Arrowhead B2B E-Commerce Platform.
