Two of the many ways Countability UK carry out pharmacy stocktakes are monetary pharmacy counts and pharmacy scanning counts.

Procedure 1: Monetary pharmacy count

We count the stock as retail monetary values on calculators while also splitting the stock into different commodity groups. This is because each commodity group will have various different profit margins and in some cases different levels of VAT.

After the physical count has been completed we then input all the retail figures into our tailor made software program which then takes out the vat element, or not as the case maybe, and then the many profit margins from all the different commodity groups, to leave us with nett figures of each group, subtotals of standard, zero and dispensary etc through to a final nett holding figure.

We will then print off, on site, all the paperwork our client needs. So, this means the client has everything they need to complete or assist there accountant, bank or insurance broker etc in their work, before we leave, without having to wait for weeks for the stocktaking paperwork to arrive in the post. We can also include and show a stock write-off figure on the summary/breakdown sheet.

Procedure 2: Pharmacy scanning count

We have again developed a software system which can incorporate any of our clients needs whilst containing all the most up to date prices from all the most recognised trade lists. To start we can either obtain a file from the customer with all the stock item codes on it or we would use our own comprehensive product list once this has been agreed, we would then scan all the stock items.

When completed we can then download the information back into the clients system or provide pharmacy stock reports in many different ways.
