Find out how Weldricks automated Rotas 9 months in advance

Overview

Weldricks Pharmacy have 63 pharmacies, with over 600 trained pharmacy staff.

Challenges

Weldricks wanted a system they could use for their rota planning that was ‘live’. This would enable any changes to be seen immediately by branches.

This would also support with any shift changes and contacting Locums about vacant shifts in a simple and efficient manner.

  • Leave - Manage leave requests on one platform and allow staff access to their own schedule through the mobile app
  • Reports - Improve performance by accessing detailed insights through the Locate a Locum Reports module
