PP Retail

Publications

For many years Pitcher Pharmacy has promoted the adoption of measurement processes used by the world’s best retailers – especially when it comes to analysing the productivity of your stock and the space allocated to it.

What is PP Retail?

Our services include the reporting of department/category performance at store level as well as producing Pharmacy Industry Averages to ensure our clients achieve maximum profitability.

Following in the footsteps of our highly successful web based accounting/management tool Bizlink IT, PP Retail now automates our productivity analysis by importing data over the internet, directly from the Pharmacy’s Point of Sale. Once this information is extracted, the pharmacy simply measures their store shelves by departmental linear metre measurements to gain instantaneous access to reporting of departmental performance.

Who is PP Retail for?

PP Retail is designed specifically for businesses who want a comprehensive online point of sale package for a small business price.
