Automated dispensing system brings to your pharmacy more efficient way of storing, dispensing faster and more comfortable, higher prestige, and most importantly, satisfied customers.
What are the advantages of automation?
Expenses
Main advantage: optimized pricing structure
Automated solution means not only less work, but also simpler tasks. While previously a lot of time was dedicated to inventory management, today a big part of these operations is performed automatically and more effectively.
Advantages:
- Easier storage
- Less capital on stock
- High inventory turnover
- High stock availability
- Consistent maintenance costs - up to 40% lower costs per pack
Intelligent space usage:
With automated Rowa systems the available space can be used much more efficiently. In expensive areas of big cities it is a great advantage to have a possibility to create a stock in less expensive parts of the building, such as basement, or upper floors for instance. Even in these situations the medications are supplied to a sales floor very quickly and reliably by means of custom made conveyor technology.
Staff
Main advantage: more time for consultation with customer thanks to less workload of staffu
Thanks to an automatic storage you don't have to leave a customer. It means that you have more time for really important things such as giving advice and pharmaceutical care. Thanks to this attention paid to each customer the probability of additional sales rises.
An average interaction between pharmacist and customer lasts only 3.5 minutes. Without storage and dispensing system you need 126 seconds, which is 60% of this time, to find and bring a medicament. Then there is not much time left for consultation. With Rowa systems it is totally different; no going away from customer nor hectic looking for a product, but a lot of time for an intensive consultation and giving advice.
Bridging staff shortages
It is expected, that experienced employees will be missed in the coming years. Such staff shortages can be partially compensated by a Rowa system. Personnel can be used for value-adding activities, back work and stock management can be done by the Rowa.
An automated stock management means less stress and less stock activities for the employees. With a Rowa, you will be also more attractive as an employer.
