Independent Pharmacies Expand and "Right-Size" by Saving Steps, Earning New Income | 2008-12-01 | Microsoft |
| When two partners built a chain of four pharmacies near Kansas City, Missouri, time demands rose as fast as square footage. The largest store offered 10,000 SKUs to 900 customers a day. But every pharmacy's albatross - accurately invoicing insurance companies and reconciling piecemeal payments - took up to 20 hours of staff time per store each month. Then nursing homes and customers had to be invoiced for the remainders. To tame the paperwork, partners selected Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System, Nova Libra Pharmacy POS, and Speed Script's Pharmacy Management System. Task times shrunk, billing accuracy hit nearly 100 percent, and customers praised faster lines. But an unexpected bonus appeared. | |||

Appointment Scheduling: The Moment of Truth | 2008-11-24 | |
| As companies continue to streamline their supply chain an area often forgotten about is the Shipping or Receiving Department even though this Department is critical to the successful flow through of products through the supply chain. Too often an organization will align their supply and demand, but not provide the critical inventory prioritization rules for their shipping and receiving departments leaving the right product delayed from its final end point and often causing downstream out-of-stock and lost sales opportunities. Additionally, often during buying and sourcing activities "Actual" shipping and receiving capacity are ignored. This dangerous practice floods shipping and receiving facilities during peak times and leaves critical inventory on the outside looking in.
