BRINGING BACK

FLEXIBILITY WITH

GOLDEN TOTE

In today's challenging environment, pharmacy contractors are actively
seeking ways to enhance efficiency and expand capacity without
incurring additional overhead costs. Many have turned to the adoption of
in-store robotics, a solution that demands substantial upfront investment,
ongoing maintenance expenses, and service contracts reaching into the
tens of thousands of pounds. With this in mind, the spatial requirements
make this option unattainable for numerous contractors.

In this landscape, Golden Tote stands out as the exclusive solution that delivers
in-store efficiency and reduces stock holding, all without the need for any upfront
investment. In the current state of the pharmacy industry, Golden Tote's relevance is
more important than ever.

Did you know?
For a pharmacy dispensing an average of 12k items per
month, you would expect to see a total of 40hrs of capacity
released back into the dispensary. Members would also expect
to see an overall reduction in stock holding of up to 45%!

The future of pharmacy is changing and, operational efficiencies have never been so important.
