Giving you the edge across multiple stores

Running multiple pharmacies can be a real challenge, to say the least.

To make successful business decisions and maximise your profits, you need timely, relevant information about all your stores.

That’s why we’ve developed the minfos® multiStore module.

The result of more than three years of extensive industry research and development, minfos® multiStore is a revolutionary, centralised POS management and business tool that enables you to easily keep track of the profit, products, staff and performance of all your pharmacies on a daily, or even hourly basis – from a single location.

Specifically designed in Australia for Australian pharmacies, minfos® multiStore can unlock hidden profits within your business by improving the individual and overall productivity, gross profitability and efficiency of all your pharmacy sites.

In fact, minfos® multiStore provides all the information successful entrepreneurs look for to keep costs down and profits up.

Once you’ve installed minfos® multiStore across your stores, you’ll wonder how you ever ran your businesses without it.

From a single computer, located at the pharmacy manager’s store, home or head office, the minfos® multiStore system transmits and collates information from all pharmacy sites via an Internet connection, providing individual or combined store results.

It allows you to quickly and easily update vital information and data at all sites – separately or simultaneously – including product changes and additions, retail pricing updates and promotions, and changes to departments and suppliers.

This gives you full control over your business, helping you to better manage your gross profit, stock and staff, giving you a competitive advantage in an ever-changing open market.

If you already use minfos® software in your pharmacies, conversion to minfos® multiStore is a breeze. And if you’re new to the minfos® system, you’re sure to be impressed by the system’s intuitive operability and powerful functionality.

With minfos® multiStore you can:

• Implement zone pricing for one or multiple stores. The Zone Pricing function allows multiple mark-ups or markdowns for groups of stores, per store or by product – for all or selected stores. Prices are transmitted to stores as an update for a supplier, rather than being applied directly to a product’s retail price. This saves time, provides the ability to control prices, ensures uniformity and allows the maximisation of gross profit potential across multiple stores.

• Run multiple store promotions. This facility can centralise buying/promotions and pricing downloads, eliminating the burden on individual stores to negotiate with suppliers and conduct in-store data entry, giving store staff more time to service customers. Stores can still also run site-specific promotions. This allows you to maintain stock levels across your stores.

• Track the profit, products, staff and performance of multiple pharmacies from one location.

• Optimise stock levels across all your stores. minfos® multiStore lets you instantly view stock-on-hand for all stores, pricing information, product information/updates, purchase order information and stock transfers. It provides superior buying knowledge, which can extend to centralised electronic stock transfer and order management – helping you to maximise supplier deals and profits.

• Generate detailed individual or combined business reports at the touch of a button, providing a valuable insight into all key aspects of your operations, including hourly, daily, weekly or annual sales; best and worst selling lines; product purchasing; till takings; staff sales; top selling staff; department sales, staff product; staff contribution; optimum stock; pricing policy sales, class and company sales; negative stock; gross profit; IEU sales; stock turn; brand sales; stock holdings; location sales and gross sales.

• Run end-of-day reports. minfos® multiStore runs reports automatically every night as part of the end-of-day process, including store, staff performance and inventory-management reports.
