Print8 February 2017
Nationwide retailer CarePlus Pharmacy has teamed up with MarketHub Technologies to become the first retail chain in Ireland, pharmacy or otherwise, to introduce digital shelf labelling.
With the new resource, CarePlus Community Pharmacists will have the ability to manage their products and pricing digitally, with on-shelf pricing linked directly to their POS systems.
Electronic labelling allows retailers to ensure pricing accuracy while making collection, analysis and action on data easy, improving sales and increasing efficiency. Consumers also reap the benefit of clear and real-time pricing, reducing the risk of overcharging.
The last two years have seen CarePlus grow significantly, with the rollout of a franchise-based retail pharmacy promoting community-based independence with the system and structure and system normally associated with larger multinational retail chains. The company operates 35 pharmacies and plans to open a further 30 this year.
Speaking at the launch of the new partnership, CarePlus CEO John Carroll said that Ireland’s pharmacy sector has become a competitive one. “As a group,” he said, “our focus is to empower our pharmacists and their employees to become best in class within their locality.
“Implementing digital shelf labels across our network will enable our stores to be as productive with their time as possible, allowing them to focus their attention on customers and care,” he said.
