Mission
ADV-Care’s mission is to improve the lives of our customers by providing a convenient and secure way to buy prescription medication at the best possible price.
Vision
ADV-Care aims to be the pharmacy of choice for people seeking a trustworthy alternative and the best value for conveniently filling prescriptions to treat their chronic conditions.
Company Overview
A group of engineers and pharmacists came together to found ADV-Care Pharmacy Inc in 1998. These pioneers saw the potential in emerging internet technology and knew it could be harnessed to provide patients with a convenient, safe way to order their medication and receive it in their own offices, homes or travel destinations.
Our History
1999
ADV-Care Pharmacy Inc. worked to develop its first website using IBM Net.Commerce software (now known as WebSphere), a robust and proven enterprise-level platform. We created a rigorous process to authenticate patients and their prescribing physicians, as well as a fully automated and integrated front-end (website) and back-end order fulfilment process, in order to guarantee utmost safety and speed. ADV-Care is Canada’s first-ever digital pharmacy.
2000
ADV-Care obtained its accreditation licensing from the Ontario College of pharmacists and launched its website later that year, becoming the world’s first-ever online pharmacy. ADV-Care was also the first pharmacy to publish Canadian prescription prices online, which we do to this day. This allows patients to compare the cost of their medications with that of local pharmacies.
2000 - 2001
During 2000 and 2001 the company continued developing its processes and developed a fully automated integrated front end (website) and back end filling process that guarantees the safety of filling a prescription on the internet and tracking its processing stages until medication is received by the customer.
2003
A number of employee and private groups signed up for an exclusive service arrangement that saved their medication costs. While by this time various competitors had begun to establish online pharmacies, ADV-Care remained a leader in the field.
2003 - 2007
ADV-Care continued to expand its market and engage in continuous improvement. We implemented new patient safety features and services, such as automated refill reminders, an automatic drug interaction check for every new order, online order tracking, and even speedier processing times.
2007
The company moved its operations to a new address as part of continuing expansion, and further expanded into wholesale business.
2011
ADV-Care launched its app to provide cross-platform access across all devices. The ADV Care app completes our spectrum of all-device coverage, with each portal acting as a synchronized customer access point for information on our server.
2019
ADV-Care implemented new and improved fulfilment technology for cold-chain medication such as insulin thanks to a new type of temperature-controlled and monitored packaging that keeps medication safe.
