Pharma Warehouse

Client Background

Our client is a well-established pharmaceutical wholesale company based in London, UK, employing over 100+ staff. Founded in 1942, the company has decades of experience supplying medicines across global markets. Despite its strong heritage, rapid industry changes, strict compliance requirements, and high operational volume made modernisation essential for continued growth.

The Challenge

Before adopting our solution, the company relied heavily on manual warehouse processes, which caused significant inefficiencies:

  • Manual counting of medicines during inbound and outbound operations
  • Heavy reliance on paperwork and manual data entry
  • Back-office operations handled in India, increasing delays and risk of errors
  • High rate of human mistakes
  • Time-consuming picking, packing, and verification
  • Revenue loss due to excessive manpower and slow processes
  • Difficulty tracking inventory accurately
  • Regulatory compliance challenges
  • Inability to detect counterfeit or falsified medicines effectively

These issues resulted in slower operations, lost revenue opportunities, regulatory risks, and operational bottlenecks.

Goals & Objectives

The client approached us with a clear mission to modernise their warehouse operations:

  • Digitise and automate the entire warehouse workflow
  • Implement FMD-compliant systems to prevent counterfeit medicines
  • Eliminate manual processes and paperwork
  • Reduce counting and packing time significantly

  • Improve tracking and visibility of every product
