Walgreens

Established over a century ago, Walgreens has since grown into a national corporation with over 5,000 stores. America's top selling drugstore, ahead of competitors CVS and Rite Aid, Walgreens serves 4 million customers daily and fills 490 million prescriptions every year Priding itself on innovation and technology, Walgreens was the first drug store chain to use child resistant prescription containers and the first drugstore chain to use satellite technology to connect its pharmacy systems.

As the nation’s leading drugstore in sales, earnings growth, same-store sales increases,prescription drug market share, and prescription sales per store, and first on the list ofGlobal Most Admired Companies in the food and drugstore category, Walgreens' position as the market leader is perhaps its greatest strength. Its next closest rival, CVS, trailed Walgreens in sales by nearly $7 billion annually and Walgreens outsells number three Rite Aid by over $30 billion. The average Walgreens store fills about 256 prescriptions daily, compared to the average 100 prescriptions filled by independent pharmacies and the average 180 prescriptions filled by other chain pharmacy. But all this could not be done without the help of technology when Walgreens first began everything had to be done by hand from counting pills to doing prescription and with all the technology with our time today all that work has been cut in ten giving the company more time to service more customers in a faster time which mean more customers more gross profit. With that being said it sure to say that Walgreens has done there part with technology because if you make one customer happy by helping them get what that need faster that will bring you more customers down the road. Technology is something that will never stop we will always try to find a faster way to do things.
