NAVTEQ, the leading global provider of maps, traffic and location data enabling navigation, location-based services and mobile advertising around the world, announces an agreement with Fármacos Especializados, the leading Mexican firm in the distribution of specialized medicine, to provide map data and content for its location intelligence and business optimization needs.
Fármacos Especializados works hand-in-hand with the country’s leading health institutions, laboratories, insurance firms and corporations while distributing its products to a great number of pharmacies across Mexico. Its business units include Farmacias Especializadas and Fármacos Nacionales S.A. de C.V. (FANASA).
One of the principal needs of Fármacos Especializados is having geographical data to analyze the sales and products of the pharmaceutical industry. Information such as company growth, market share and points of purchase appear on a country map for geographical analysis. When combined with geographical data, such indicators offer an outlook of the company’s current position. This not only allows for a detailed analysis of the industry – it is also a way for the company to learn whether all market niches are being penetrated and improve access to them.
“We needed in-depth information on how our actions affect the pharmaceutical industry. In other words, we needed geographical data that could clearly show us our current market scope while revealing opportunities for extending this scope--one of our firm's priorities. We chose NAVTEQ map data for this solution because it can be delivered in any format and the quality and precision gives us peace of mind. Finally, it is important for us to rely on a group of experts who know how to integrate and customize geographical solutions," explained Dr. Carlos Flores Alcocer, vice-president of Strategic Planning and IT at Fármacos Especializados.
Fármacos Especializados will use the NAVTEQ data to define the map and implement geographical indicators in all areas of the company. Once the data has been gathered, new distribution routes will be defined and the delivery processes will be optimized to improve the use of resources while reducing costs.
During the initial phase, Fármacos Especializados will conduct an analysis on the location intelligence of its business and then use NAVTEQ maps to get the most detailed information available on the market. This will enable it to be more assertive when making decisions based on its Business Intelligence (BI) platform.
“Fármacos Especializados is a state-of-the-art company in Mexico and one of our main customers in the pharmaceutical sector. They continue to push the envelope in technology and medicine distribution logistics,” explains Javier Núñez Girón, Latin America Enterprise Director for NAVTEQ. “We are committed to providing the pharmaceutical industry in Mexico with high quality map data that’s scalable and can be integrated into any technology.
