Case Study: a leading retail pharmacy company saves $1 million with First Advantage’s instant oral fluid drug screening solution

Leading Retail Pharmacy Saves $1 Million with Instant Oral Fluid Employee Drug Screen Solution

The customer, a leading retail pharmacy company, faced challenges with its outdated, lab-based urine drug testing process, which was slow, administratively burdensome, and costly. The lengthy process of scheduling lab appointments and waiting for results created significant delays in hiring, hindering the company's growth objectives. They partnered with their long-standing vendor, First Advantage, to find a more efficient solution.

First Advantage implemented its instant oral fluid drug screening solution, OralTox, which provided results in minutes instead of days. This streamlined the administrative process by using a web application for ordering, conducting, and reviewing tests. The solution saved the company more than $1 million annually in screening costs, dramatically accelerated time-to-hire, and optimized corporate logistics by leveraging the company's own supply chain for device distribution.
