“The previous owner of this store worked seven
days a week. The pharmacy has a high volume for
a small store and the place was absolute chaos.
There were no pharmacists to hire and there still
aren’t any.
“We bought the first SP 200 in
2001 and it took the chaos out
of the pharmacy immediately.
The robot filled over 60% of
our prescriptions on the first
day of operation. The manual
part of filling prescriptions is
gone—it gets the vials, counts,
labels, and just keeps pumping
along behind you with no
interruption.

“The decision to get ScriptPro was easy because
it’s so cost efficient. The robot pays for itself
in about three years based on the salary of a
pharmacist working five hours a day.
“As a company, ScriptPro is unbelievable! I have
never seen a company so organized. The follow up
is phenomenal from sales to installation
to training. I am planning to buy more from
ScriptPro for my other stores.”

UPDATE
Since 2001, Falk’s has purchased
a robot for each of its seven
retail stores. Bill Haugen, CFO,
says they wanted to standardize
all the stores from a process
standpoint. “Consistency in
every store is better for business
and better to serve our customers,” he said. “We rotate pharmacy staff often to cover
weekends and vacations. Having the standard
system allows us to better allocate employee
resources,” Bill added.
