Show HN: PharmA2A, an open protocol for pharmacy-to-supplier orders on A2A
github.comI'm a pharmacist in France and a nerd. I built an open source protocol based on A2A, Called PharmA2A. Why, because normally I order directly from more than hundred of suppliers, by phone mails or on the web forms. The idea is to automatise orders of selling and buying between pharmacies and their suppliers. Since 12 November, PharmA2A is live on GH. Is anyone of you is using A2A in real life ?
How would you get the suppliers to adopt this? Usually a lot of protocol adoption (outside of tech, but often in tech as well) is top down and mandated.
Yes you have right, usually protocol arrives from the top. here the supplier can receive an email with the pharmacy's command until he will build his agent. I have made an email bridge with the protocol to help them adopt this language. So we need only one pharmacy to begin, and that's what's I am doing in my own one. The supplier can plug his ERP when he will be ready.
hundred suppliers by phone and web forms, yeah that tracks with medical supply chaos Ive seen adjacent.
Yes! exact. in ten months. Almost 70 commands with supplier I have done in my own pharmacy. each one with a different canal.
