America’s second-largest pharmacy retailer
leverages Zebra software and hardware solutions to modernize
operations and elevate the customer experience
Zebra Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a leading digital
solution provider enabling businesses to intelligently connect
data, assets, and people, today announced that the Walgreens Boots
Alliance has optimized its operations with Zebra Workcloud
Actionable Intelligence software to save millions of dollars by
enhancing operational compliance and the company’s ability to
identify and combat shrink.
Walgreens, a Chicago-based international pharmacy retailer,
selected Zebra’s Modern Store framework to improve asset
protection, better equip employees with technology, and optimize
operational visibility in their network of 8,000 locations across
50 states. As an essential retailer carrying critical healthcare
products and prescription medications, Walgreens needed an
intuitive analytics solution to uncover issues and resolve areas of
loss in real time.
“Recognizing the advantages of today's digital technologies, we
implemented Zebra’s leading-edge software and hardware solutions to
streamline our operations and better support our employees and
customers,” said Tim Bailey, Senior Manager, Asset Protection
Solutions, Walgreens Boots Alliance. “The integration of Zebra's
solutions has yielded positive outcomes, empowering our business
with tools to enhance associate engagement, improve inventory
accuracy, and elevate the customer experience.”
In addition to Workcloud Actionable Intelligence, Walgreens is
using Workcloud Task Management and Workcloud Demand Intelligence
software to reduce total retail loss, enhance task management, and
optimize inventory. Moreover, Walgreens is leveraging Zebra’s
modular software compatibility with Zebra’s hardware. Most of the
workforce and task management features are integrated with Zebra
TC52 mobile computers and wearables, working in concert with
Zebra’s DS3608/MP7000 scanners and ZT610/ZT620 printers.
“Walgreens is enhancing its business processes with Zebra's
comprehensive Workcloud Software suite and hardware solutions,”
said Suresh Menon, Senior Vice President and General Manager,
Software Solutions, Zebra Technologies. “We are committed to
helping retailers like Walgreens work in new ways with technology
to modernize operations, increase accountability and visibility,
and equip associates with actionable intelligence for better
business outcomes and savings.”
The deployment of Zebra’s Workcloud Actionable Intelligence
resulted in a net gain of millions of dollars over five years and
has benefited 20,000 associates companywide, including asset
protection, store operations, pharmacy managers and inventory
specialists. Workcloud Actionable Intelligence further enabled
Walgreens to tackle phantom inventory, shelf gaps, fraud detection,
and high shrink rates from markdown non-compliance, reducing waste
by 27%.
