Pharmapick (blue line) outperforms open shelving (orange line) in cost-effectiveness, automation, inventory management, safety, space usability, and staff productivity. Though Pharmapick’s initial investment is higher, its lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over ten years provides greater long-term benefits.
Open shelving has a minimal upfront cost but lacks automation, safety, and efficiency, making Pharmapick the superior choice for modern Central Pharmacy operations focused on safety and productivity.
