Nearly two-thirds of the U.S. population lives within three miles of a Walgreens. Now the drugstore chain’s more than 7,600 stores are getting even more convenient with new smart phone enhancements in the hands of many Walgreens customers nationwide. Walgreens newest mobile feature, Refill by Scan, already accounts for more than half of all prescription refills ordered through Walgreens mobile applications – less than four months after becoming available for both iPhone and Android platforms.
Using a smart phone’s camera, Refill by Scan enables users to scan the barcode printed on a prescription label to seamlessly order a refill in seconds. The new, innovative technology was launched on the Walgreens mobile application in 2010 and has been available for both Android and iPhone users since November.
“Our customers have enthusiastically adopted our mobile applications and we’re continuing to bring innovative technology to our online and mobile platforms to enhance the customer experience,” said Sona Chawla, Walgreens President of E-commerce.
