Case Study: Taking the Stress Out of Annual Inventory for an Independent Pharmacy in Gilbert
For an independent pharmacy in Gilbert, the annual inventory count is much more than a bookkeeping task, it's a critical compliance and financial necessity. It requires absolute accuracy, attention to regulated products, and a team that can adapt on the fly. We were brought in to handle their annual physical count.
The Challenge: Counting Pills and Powder Without Stopping the Store
This wasn't a job for just any inventory team. The pharmacy needed the count done quickly, but without disturbing the pharmacists or their patients. They faced three major hurdles:
- Regulation: All counts had to satisfy strict compliance rules, especially for controlled substances.
- Different Types of Counting: We couldn't just scan everything. Some specialty compounds needed to be weighed precisely, not just counted. This requires a specific set of tools and training.
- Working Together: We needed to collaborate directly with the pharmacist to ensure zero errors on high-value items and controlled drugs. The process had to be seamless and quiet, they are a customer-first business.
A big, impersonal inventory company would likely send too many people, interrupt the workflow, and potentially lack the flexibility to handle the specialized weighing required.
Our Solution: Small Team, Big Flexibility
Our small, experienced team based right here in the Phoenix area provided the focused attention and adaptability this job demanded. We believe expertise means knowing when to ditch the standard checklist and use a different tool.
Here's how we handled it:
- Quiet Planning: We met with the lead pharmacist beforehand to map out the store and agree on the best, least disruptive times to work.
- Adapting Our Tools: We brought in high-precision digital scales specifically for compounds, liquids, and partial bottle, the products where a simple scan is not enough. This saved the pharmacy time and ensured financial accuracy.
- Pharmacist Partnership: We conducted the count of all controlled substances side-by-side with the licensed pharmacist. This ensured immediate sign-off and guaranteed compliance for those critical, regulated items.
- Clear Reporting: We delivered a final report that clearly documented the inventory using both scanning data and the data from our precision weighing, providing a complete picture for their auditors.
The Result: An Accurate Count, Delivered with Trust
The Gilbert pharmacy got what they needed: a reliable, compliant, and detailed annual inventory count:
- The count was finished on time, providing them with the data for their accouting reports and tax filings.
- Because we worked carefully and collaboratively, the pharmacy's day-to-day operations and patient service were never disrupted.
- The management team felt secure knowing their specialized and high-value inventory was handled by professionals who understood pharmacy-specific rules, not just retail rules.
“We can't afford errors, especially with regulated inventory. Zenbaki didn't just count the items; they worked with us, bringing the right equipment to weigh the compounds. It was a partnership, not just a service.”
