“The prescription load is going to continue increasing over the next five years—so I wanted to cap the number of people I would need to hire in order to establish cost controls. I can’t just hire another person every time the script count goes up. I saw automation as the way to fix my employment costs and have the capability to efficiently fill the growing script load.

“After installing ScriptPro, I was able to cut out all the over-time my employees were working, because it improved the efficiency of each person.

“The SP 200 is the one piece of machinery that I’ve owned in my lifetime that actually does what it’s supposed to do. I looked at other automation options but ScriptPro’s technology was up and working. A lot of people have come up with ideas for pharmacy that don’t work and I didn’t want to be part of an experiment.

“The SP 200 gave me relief by giving me time. I am a one-man show — the only pharmacist in my store—and I have to get the drugs out to my patients in a timely manner. The machine cuts down on the potential for errors too, so I am dispensing with confidence.”
