Farmacity Improves In-Store Operations with Zebra Workcloud Task Management

Pharma retailer automates task assignments and streamlines communications

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. – Nov. 13, 2023 –Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a leading digital solution provider enabling businesses to intelligently connect data, assets, and people, today announced that Farmacity, the largest pharma retailer in Argentina, selected Zebra’s Workcloud Task Management, formerly Reflexis Task Management, to increase staff effectiveness and productivity at its stores.

After facing the challenges brought by the pandemic, Farmacity realized the need to increase real-time visibility into the activities happening across its stores and ensure consistent processes and task completion to drive workers’ attention on customer service and satisfaction. The retailer deployed Workcloud Task Management to digitize and automate assignments related to updating special offers and promotions as well as conduct systematic audits and check stock availability.

“Zebra’s Workcloud software solutions enable our business to accelerate processes such as on-site inspections, audit trails and promotion updates, which free our staff to focus on customer-facing activities,” said Matías Argüello, Continuous Improvement Manager, Farmacity. “Zebra Workcloud Task Management empowers our front-line staff to quickly scan their daily activities and prioritize them while managers have immediate information on what tasks are completed and by whom.”

The right assignment and schedule of periodic walks help Farmacity increase loss control and inventory accuracy. Real-time visibility into operations gives the pharma retailer the confidence that tasks are completed uniformly and on time, while alerting front-line workers when supportive actions are needed to get the right resources in the right place.

The new system also streamlines the process for corporate-to-store communication and allows managers to drive better messaging, helping their teams execute their projects efficiently and with greater accountability.

“Our vision for Zebra’s software portfolio is to be the destination solution for front-line worker optimization,” said Alejandro Prosperi, Vice President and General Manager, south of Latin America, Zebra Technologies. “We are proud to be working with innovative retailers like Farmacity to help them elevate execution in every store and transform their collective team’s performance to gain the competitive advantage of a superior customer experience.”

Farmacity has implemented technologies that are part of the Zebra’s visionary Modern Store framework, which helps retailers meet their goals for associates, inventory and customer experience.
