Random Thoughts (And Photos) from this Week’s Pharmacy Shows

It’s been a long 2 weeks since I’ve been in the office, but boy has it been time well spent.  For those of you who I had a pleasure to speak with at the recent Cardinal RBC and the AmerisourceBergen Thoughtspot shows in Las Vegas, you know I’ve been living in a hotel room for the last 2 weeks, but what a great 2 weeks it has been!  Since I’m still trying to adjust to east coast time, here are some brief, and random, thoughts about the last 2 weeks:

Congratulations to RMS customer, Topeka Pharmacy, for winning the 2015 GNP Pharmacy of the Year!  For the 2nd year in a row an RMS customer won the GNP Pharmacy of the Year award from AmerisourceBergen.  Way to go Jaime and team!!

Visiting the Grand Canyon is a blast!  I’ve been to Vegas dozens of times, but I’ve never taken the opportunity to visit the Grand Canyon.  I highly recommend it, and if you have the time, and nerve, flying over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter is absolutely the best way to appreciate one of the most beautiful and impressive areas in the world!  Here I am with one of our sales executives, Gary Labuzetta, enjoying a boat ride down the Colorado River at the bottom of the canyon.

Congratulations to RMS customer, Stultz Pharmacy, for winning GNP’s Community Care award!  This one is near and dear to our hearts, as one of our customers, in the face of disaster, quickly came up with an idea to continue serving his community and keep his doors open.   I’ll let you read the case study here.

Poker is fun!  For those of you who know me, I enjoy a little poker every now and again, and this trip to Las Vegas gave me the opportunity to spend a few minutes at the poker table.

Congratulations to RMS customer, Harry Race Pharmacy, for winning the 2014 GNP Pharmacy of the Year!  Last year, another RMS customer won the GNP Pharmacy of the Year (that’s 2 in a row!), and AmerisourceBergen prominently showed their appreciation to Dirk and Trish White and team with this display on the show floor.  

Curbside Pickup is a great way to serve your customers! Here’s Jazmine Cabo, our sales assistant, showing off our Curbside Pickup sign at the show.  This display was such a huge hit, we had people taking selfies with it!  The idea obviously is for stores without drive-thrus to gain a competitive advantage against big-box stores by offering curbside pickup.  Of course, you can’t just offer curbside pickup without having the technology to support it, which is where our EvolutionPOS mobile register comes in!  For a limited time, you can get this sign (without post) for FREE with the purchase of our EvolutionPOS mobile register!   Read more about it here!

That’s all I got for now.  Time to get some more coffee and get used to east coast time again!!
