Superdrug save £500k in first 6 months

Overview

Superdrug has over 200 pharmacies across the UK, with over 1000 trained staff and a bank of over 4000 flexible workers.

Challenges

Superdrug had problems around managing their rotas and scheduling bank staff into vacant shifts. They also had standards that needed to be met when it came to the payment of permanent and flexible workers. As with most healthcare providers Superdrug wanted to ensure their estate met professional compliance standards at all times.

As well as staff challenges Superdrug were keen to give their permanent employees and bank staff a great user experience through easy to use technology (software).

Solution

Locate a Locum worked collaboratively with Superdrug to implement an end to end workforce management solution. Together we identified key goals to create a digital solution that solves all Superdrug’s pain points.

With a small team at Head office Superdrug can now:

• Schedule permanent and bank staff into shifts through a live rota
