Ontario Pharmacies: Get 50% Off Your Digital Modernization

If you've been considering expanding into minor ailments assessments but hesitating on the technology investment, there's funding available to help.

‍

The Ontario Retail Modernization Project Grant from Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI) covers 50% of eligible technology costs—including first time MAPflow subscriptions—up to $5,000 per location. Please note that this funding only applies to NEW MAPflow subscriptions.

‍

What this means for your pharmacy for an independent Ontario pharmacy on a budget

Start minor ailments services with MAPflow’s Pharmacy subscription for $424 out of pocket (subscription cost $850, with $425 reimbursed from the Retail Modernization Project Grant). That's $35/month in year one. With just 15 assessments per month at $19 each, you'll generate ~$3,000 profit in your first year, not including the additional revenue from dispensing fees and OTC sales that result from your evidence-based product recommendations. 

‍

For multi-location Ontario pharmacy owners, these savings and return on investment can be applied to each store.

‍

The Application Process

The RMPG grant is straightforward:

• Apply before making your purchase
• Buy eligible technology (including MAPflow)
• Submit receipts for 50% reimbursement
• Maximum $5,000 grant per location

See the RMPG list of eligibility criteria and then start your application at the Ontario Centres of Excellence RMPG portal
