Need:
A
national retail pharmacy chain with more than
5,000 stores acquired a competitor with
623 locations. The retailer needed resources to
convert the pharmacies over to their brand. To remain
profitable, the deadline for the store conversions was
six months.
-
Retail locations were located across
12 states
-
Non-Compliant products required the
liquidation of 30% of the acquired merchandise
-
A team was required to
build, move, and tag fixtures and signage
Solution:
RGIS auditors had worked with the client before, performing pharmacy and
wall-to-wall inventories. The client was excited to expand the
partnership.
Training began immediately for crew managers and product specialists. The training focused on the customer’s
floor plan and
tagging standards.
Teams were
mobilized in a timely fashion, and the
conversions began.
Results:
Resource allocation adjustments were made thanks to
daily reporting. This attention to detail allowed the project to be completed
on time and within budget.
