Moment Smith Drug Company is a pharmaceuti- cal wholesaler that provides dozens of programs and services to deliver healthi- er business and patient outcomes. The company strives to be first in service and first in customer commitment by staffing each of its distribution centers with peo- ple who have only one goal: to make sure their customers receive service like no other. The company's personal relation- ships and fast resolutions have continued to provide satisfaction numbers that are among the highest in the industry. Every day, the staff at Smith Drug works to create a "Wow!" moment for their customers. A few of these customers have taken the time to share what makes Smith Drug Company different. "Our previous wholesaler was having supply issues. There were multiple short- ages; Smith Drug was able to get us what we need in a timely fashion. A hurricane came through our area. Our rep delivered our order in his vehicle when delivery trucks couldn't, making sure we had what we needed to stay open and serve customers." – Paige Hamilton, PharmD, R.Ph., Realo Discount Drugs, North Carolina "My rep was willing to meet with me at 10 o'clock at night to get me started. Whenever you call them, they are there for you with personal- ized service. Their service makes you a better pharmacist; they are a partner to help you get what you want out of your business." – Semir Dhakuk, R.Ph., Zephryhills Community Pharmacy, Florida "We needed an emergency delivery for a patient and they got it to us. Everyone at Smith works to make sure we are able to take care of our patients. We have done better financially with Smith and gotten great service. They have kept their word with us and that is golden." – Steve Hebel, R.Ph., Executive Director, Corum Health Services, Missouri "The difference between Smith Drug and some of the other distributors is that they are looking for ways for me to succeed. Their emphasis is on our success." – Jane Snyder, R.Ph., Blountville Drug Company, Tennessee "Our goals are aligned. Even though Smith Drug is a large company, it's a very personal relationship. I feel like they hold the same values and principles." – Josh Harrison, PharmD, Clinchfield Drug Company, Tennessee For more information, visit booth #1251 or go to www.smithdrug.com.

Faster Rx Retrieval Means Pharmacy Savings The HangUp bag prescription organization and retrieval system, used in thousands of pharmacies worldwide, offers users 25 per- cent faster retrieval time compared with traditional bin or drawer systems. That adds up to significant labor savings since pharmacy clerks can handle more transac- tions in less time, while also helping to eliminate errors caused by unclear labels. As a result, increasing numbers of chain, independent and online pharma- cies – including the top 10 chains – are streamlining their prescription organiza- tion and retrieval process with the patent- ed HangUp system. The HangUp bag-and-rack system simplifies the process from filled pre- scription to patient delivery, while reduc- ing costly errors. Pharmacists just place prescriptions and patient information sheets into clear, durable HangUp bags and hook the bags onto the easy-access HangUp rack. When patients arrive or shipments are being prepared, clerks can find prescriptions easily and retrieve them quickly, saving time for all involved, while minimizing errors and confusion. The HangUp storage and retrieval system has helped companies organize and streamline their material handling for over 45 years. Monaco, LLC, of Bethel, Connecticut, proud- ly guarantees your satisfaction, and offers prompt shipping with friendly customer service. See-through HangUp bags are heavy-duty, reusable and available in 18 sizes, giving your pharmacies reduced expenses for behind-the-counter opera- tions, when compared to disposable, sin- gle-use paper supplies. HangUp bags are durable and the patented handle ensures years of re-use. A wide variety of sturdy, economical HangUp Rack Systems are available to accommodate existing spaces or to replace the inefficient bin storage spaces within your prescription handling areas. Among the available options are wall- mounted multi-tier racks and freestand- ing racks. In the never- ending pursuit of efficiency and cost reductions, the HangUp prescrip- tion storage and retrieval system offers sub- stantial savings incentive for chain drug stores. When clerks can locate the correct prescriptions and present them to cus- tomers faster, without having to rummage through bins or drawers, the bottom-line impact can be as clear as a HangUp bag.
