Understanding the environment
FRED is only as reliable as the technology around it.
FRED supports the operational technology used by many Australian pharmacies. Podium IT supports the wider technology environment and works alongside the software vendor where application-specific input is needed.
- FRED dispensing, office and POS environments
- Pharmacy workstations, servers and networking
- Backup, recovery and cyber security
- Vendor-aware support and escalation
What Podium IT supports
One first point of contact for managed clients.
When a managed client has a FRED problem, they can contact Podium IT first. We diagnose whether the cause sits with the application, device, server, network, integration or user access; resolve what we can; and coordinate with the software vendor when their input is required.
That ongoing involvement helps us learn each environment, identify recurring causes and reduce avoidable vendor calls and disruption for practice staff.
