So, for instance, a pharmacy has 10 or 15 shops underneath their umbrella, these relationships develop as much as 1,500 pharmacies.

That’s what we’re attempting to alter, the remaining — that 10% to fifteen% or 10% to twenty% that if they will carry it into our platform.
So, there are two ways in which we have been attempting to enhance, one including the extra catalog to supply them not solely the prescribed drugs, the OTCs and stuff and offering the opposite technological instruments, whether or not the DIR charges and so forth and so forth. So, we need to empower them the know-how by way of the know-how in order that they will purchase extra by way of our platform.
