The leaders of family-owned Schnuck

convenience and value.
Therefore, when Schnucks’ pharmacies became
increasingly busy processing
an ever-growing volume
of scripts while facing
a pharmacist shortage,
management turned to
dispensing robotics. These
new state-of-the-art tools have helped

ScriptPro Robotic Prescription Dispensing
Systems perform the time consuming and
tedious tasks of counting, filling and labeling
prescriptions, allowing pharmacy staff to
spend time with customers.
“Given the shortage of pharmacists, we
searched for ways to increase the productivity
of our existing pharmacy teams while
maintaining high levels of customer service.
We purchased the SP 200 because it does it
all—count, dispense and label prescriptions.
The time we used to spend retrieving product
from the shelf has been greatly reduced and
the staff now has more time to interface
with customers. As our
productivity has increased,
so has our script volume.
Robotics has offered a real
win-win situation for us and
for our customers.”
Don Lafata, Pharmacy
Supervisor, Schnucks
“The SP 200 has improved our service levels
by literally cutting the number of steps we
must take in half. Before, much of our time
was devoted to running to the shelf for a
stock bottle, counting out the drug and
returning the bottle. Now, with the help of
robotics, we can serve more customers faster
and more efficiently. I can’t see working
without the SP 200.”
