Applexus Technologies Launches COVID-19 Vaccine Scheduling Solution for Ingles Markets, Inc.
May 18, 2021
SEATTLE - May 18, 2021 - (Newswire.com)
Applexus Technologies has been chosen by Ingles Markets, Incorporated to implement a major scheduling advancement that will modernize its operations and enable on-demand, real-time scheduling for COVID-19 vaccines.
Shortly after COVID-19 vaccines were approved, Ingles started creating an innovative tool designed to replace its previous registration system. To develop a full-feature vaccine scheduling tool, the company partnered with Applexus Technologies for consulting and design expertise. Ingles initially built their COVID-19 vaccine registration tool as a method to assess local demand for the vaccine and allow their pharmacy teams to contact customers to schedule appointments, but the company quickly determined that an automated, customer-facing tool was needed.
The Applexus Vaccine Appointment module is developed on the Applexus SimpleRetail platform which is available on the SAP Store and provides Pharmacies a highly scalable solution for appointment-based scheduling. SimpleRetail's rules-based appointment scheduling engine provides customers an online portal to efficiently find open appointments and self-schedule. The pharmacy-facing solution enables pharmacies to automate daily appointment management.
The solution is now live and thousands of customers have scheduled their COVID-19 appointments using the SimpleRetail solution.
Sam Mathew, CEO at Applexus, says, "The SimpleRetail platform was designed to support the ever-evolving digital shopping experience in the wake of COVID-19. Enabling online self-service appointment scheduling is a great extension of the SimpleRetail model. We are pleased to continue to partner with Ingles Markets on their multi-year digital transformation journey with SAP and SimpleRetail. Most importantly, we are happy to contribute to the fight against COVID-19 and save lives by helping people get vaccinated."
Ron Freeman, Chief Financial Officer for Ingles Markets, says, "Our pharmacies continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of our customers. Our innovative scheduling tool serves our customers today for the COVID-19 vaccine and has the capacity to continue to meet our patients' future needs as demand expands for other routine vaccines and clinical services."

How Hong Kong New Wave directors hijacked martial arts and crime films to make art
It is easy to misremember the Hong Kong New Wave of the late 1970s and 80s. Nearly five decades after its inception, that iconic chapter in the city’s cinema history is generally thought of as a socially inclined art-house movement that addressed everyday issues – a stark contrast to the martial arts films that dominated the local box office at the time. While partially true, viewing New Wave films merely as local iterations of 1960s and 70s rarefied European art-house cinema misses the mark....

VisitGuernsey launches new men’s mental health initiative
Over a quarter of men across the UK are hesitant to discuss their mental health with family or friends, fearing that their loved ones won’t be able to support them. One in five men also hide away from these key conversations, with a third (35 per cent) trying and failing to start a conversation for fear of not knowing how or when to approach the topic. The findings come from the latest research from VisitGuernsey* – the Channel Island that welcomes more than 150,000 visitors from the UK a year, famous for its natural spaces, slower way of living and well-being focussed lifestyle – who have identified that talking about mental health can be daunting, and for many, the fear of burdening family and friends remains a significant barrier to seeking help.
