Delivery capability is an important issue, especially in these times. How do you maintain an overview? What about expired packs, discount contracts, not to mention the costs of subsequent deliveries by courier service?

If your pharmacy is still working with traditional push-pull columns, now may be the time to take a step towards automation. With an automated dispensing robot, achieving a higher delivery capacity is easier: With fewer medications in stock but a wider range, pharmacies can increase their ability to deliver and optimise their product range. This is possible because the medications no longer have to be sorted manually, and individual items no longer require additional effort. On the contrary, a pharmacy robot is always equally fast, regardless of whether you want to store several packs of one type or many different packs.

Repeat deliveries unnecessarily tie up time and money. Reducing this can be a goal with the introduction of a dispensing robot. “It reduced the workload by 30% and improved the speed of service. This means we do not have to hire more skilled staff and have control over the business. We now have a happier working environment because we have removed time pressures, and we are safe in the knowledge that we are providing quick and efficient service to our customers.” says Anish Majhu, Pharmacy Owner at Murray Pharmacy in East Kilbride, Scotland.

An automated dispensing robot saves valuable resources daily by increasing efficiency and delivery capacity. Our tip: Write down how many hours you spend daily organizing repeat deliveries and courier services and what other costs are involved, and compare these with the reference values of automated pharmacies. This will give you a good idea of whether a higher delivery capacity would also pay off for your pharmacy.
