Case Study: Value Drug Mart achieves consolidated POS and improved inventory management with Magstar Inc's Total Retail solution

Value Drug Mart - Customer Case Study

Value Drug Mart, a network of more than 50 independently owned Value Drug Mart and Apple Drug pharmacies, faced an urgent POS and data problem: stores were running discontinued, incompatible POS hardware and software, preventing the distribution center (DC) from consolidating sales data and making informed replenishment decisions. After evaluating 21 systems, Value Drug Mart selected Magstar Inc’s Total Retail enterprise retail management solution to create a single, standardized POS environment.

Magstar Inc implemented the Total Retail solution and integrated it with Value Drug Mart’s DC, while the chain upgraded store hardware and networking to support the rollout. Despite difficult data conversions and customized store setups, the project delivered a uniform POS platform, giving the DC consolidated store sales visibility that improved inventory replenishment, made slow-moving merchandise easier to identify, and allowed new products to be introduced more quickly.
