Numan, the fast-growing online male health clinic, has become the 10th large business this year to deploy cutting-edge specialist software developed by Bristol-based health tech firm Invatech.
Numan was founded in 2019 with a mission to help men take action when it comes to their health and wellbeing. 
It provides medication for 175,000 patients via its Cardiff-based fulfilment operation for the most common male health concerns, such as hair loss and erectile dysfunction, with a team of clinicians who can create personalised treatment plans online.
By using Invatech’s Titan Enterprise software, it expects to benefit from 20% efficiency savings while supporting its ambitious growth plans with improved safety and scalability in processing medications.
Numan director of Pharmacy Operations Andrew Caple said: “Our findings show that three quarters of men will not visit a doctor when they have a health concern, and we therefore recognise that the online market provides a great opportunity to tackle these problems.
“As expected, we are experiencing significant growth and we needed fulfilment software which could support our current operations and future ambitions.
“We’re therefore delighted to have Titan on board and are already impressed by the impact it is having. With the increase in efficiency and safety, it’s the perfect partner for the next stage in our growth.”
Invatech Health created Titan two years ago a cutting edge Patient Medication Record (PMR) system. It has since become the first PMR in more than a decade to gain NHS accreditation.
An innovative, cloud-based system that manages end-to-end workflow within pharmacies, it releases valuable pharmacist time – which they can devote to patient care – while giving them more control over their business.
Titan Enterprise is designed to allow large scale operations connect their internal systems and processes to their dispensing workflow to create new efficiencies and grow at scale.
The brainchild of former community pharmacist-turned-tech pioneer and Invatech Health CEO Tariq Muhammad, Titan is now making waves among innovative sector start-ups that are using automation, apps and robotics to change the way medication is delivered to patients.
Earlier this year, Invatech Health received a further £950,000 loan from Innovate UK under a programme to support game-changing innovations in the UK’s SME community.
The Numan contract comes after Invatech secured 100 new contracts for its Titan Professional patient medication record (PMR) system with community pharmacies around the UK at last month’s Pharmacy Show in Birmingham.
Mr Muhammad said: “We’re delighted with the progress of our business in 2021, as we continue to make waves across our two key sectors – innovative online businesses and community pharmacy.
“Both Numan and ourselves are at the forefront of tech innovation in the pharmacy sector, so this new relationship is a natural partnership.
“We look forward to supporting their growth and playing our part in helping men to receive the medication they need to treat a variety of health conditions.”
He said it was “extremely satisfying” to see Titan helping change the healthcare sector in a number of ways.
“Among our community pharmacy customers, efficiency savings are freeing up time to help them refocus their efforts, away from back office tasks and out front with patient care. That can only be a good thing for their businesses and for the wider NHS.
“Meanwhile our Enterprise clients are revolutionising the way that patients can access medications online, with increased safety. So it’s been a good year for everyone at Invatech Health and we look forward to continuing the pharmacy revolution in 2022.”
