ABOUT THE CLIENT
Dentopharma is a dental supplies company with 17 years of operations in Tanzania, specializing in importing and distributing dental products, including consumables, instruments, and equipment designed for restorative and preventative dentistry. ​​

Currently, the company serves a diverse clientele, with approximately 70% of its business focused on public sector hospitals and facilities, encompassing both regional and national healthcare institutions. In addition to public sector collaborations, Dentopharma actively works with private dental clinics and facilities to meet their dental product needs. However, it's worth noting that the dental market in Tanzania faces stagnation and intense competition. Convincing new customers in this environment is a considerable challenge.​​

Aligned with their expansion strategy, Dentopharma is preparing to extend its network by incorporating hospitals and clinics through the introduction of digital health solutions. This forward-thinking approach includes equipping dental laboratories with state-of-the-art machinery like milling machines and press furnaces to enhance efficiency. Furthermore, the company is at the forefront of introducing digital procurement systems, tailored specifically for dental supplies and emphasizing centralized procurement and reporting systems. Importantly, Dentopharma's long-term vision is not confined to dentistry but aims to broaden the application of these IT solutions across diverse healthcare domains, emphasizing their commitment to evolving healthcare landscapes​. https://www.dentistindar.co.tz/index.php/dentopharma

THE PROBLEM STATEMENT
Dentopharma is undergoing a transformation by introducing innovative digital health solutions to support cosmetic and aesthetic dentistry while improving operational efficiency. The challenge it faces pertains to its go-to-market strategy. Dentopharma needs to effectively onboard other dentists and dental facilities onto this new digital approach, particularly through utilizing equipped dental labs. Moreover, it seeks guidance on converting a substantial customer base swiftly after the initial product launch. To ensure the success of this shift in focus and provide value to the dental community, Dentopharma aims to address these critical issues in its go-to-market strategy.​

THE OPPORTUNITY
A team of volunteers experienced in developing effective strategies tailored to the dental industry and digital health solutions is needed to assist Dentopharma in Tanzania. The clients require volunteers with expertise in sales and marketing to attract, acquire, and retain dental professionals as customers, and familiar with planning and executing product launches to guide Dentopharma in gaining market traction quickly.​

The following need to be taken into consideration:​
a) The go-to-market strategy is still under development​
b) Dentopharma sponsors three staff members from local hospitals in Tanzania to undergo dental digital lab training in Turkey. These hospitals have expressed their commitment to piloting the new digital strategy and products.​
c) Dentopharma is committed to further investing in engaging more dentists and facilities in the new digital approach after the initial launch.​

A team of volunteers will work with the Dentopharma Team, BHS Volunteer Engagement Manager (Skeeter Makau), and BHS Client Engagement Manager (Mecklina I. Hornung) for the duration of 6 – 9 months. The expected level of effort is an average of one (1) hour per week for the project's duration.​

The following deliverables make up the scope of this project:​
1. A Go-to-Market Strategy Framework is developed for efficient customer onboarding and rapid adoption at Dentopharma.​
2. Valuable insights and expertise in dental industry sales and marketing provided and documented.​
3. Guidance in planning and executing product launches for rapid market traction in digital dental solutions provided and documented.​
