Pinpointing the everyday tasks where a vial-filling robot delivers quick, measurable returns
By: Darin Gleason, U.S. Chain and Retail Sales Director, ScriptPro
Independent and community pharmacies juggle shrinking reimbursement, rising labor costs, and an ever-growing list of clinical and administrative duties. In that environment, any capital purchase must prove its value quickly. The welcome surprise is that a vial-filling robot can start paying its own way within a few months – sometimes sooner in high-volume stores – when it is aimed at the right parts of the workflow. Think of these spots as profit zones: places where a gain in speed, accuracy, or staff capacity turns directly into more revenue and potentially lower expenses.
