Portugal: Implementing GS1 Standards to increase efficiencies at a retail pharmacy’s warehouse
MC is a Portuguese retailer that offers its customers an OTC (Over The Counter) Pharmacy service called Wells.
Body
Retailer MC has seen a 50% reduction in time spent receiving a case of products at its warehouse, and a 99% reduction in labelling errors, since introducing a labelling solution on cases and pallets based on GS1 standards.
The particularities of the OTC supply chain regarding product identification, unit of purchase, supplier’s technological maturity and constitution of logistic units such as pallets, lead to great inefficiencies and high levels of operational errors and rejection of orders.
