McDermott predicts continued growth for Stocktaking.ie in the retail sector due to an increase in consumer sentiment and is targeting additional opportunities in the pharmacy sector.
“The use of generic drugs, reference pricing and (the) increased number of new pharmacy openings have resulted in pharmacies becoming much more aware of the importance of accurate, detailed and informative stocktaking reports in improving profit margins in both dispensary and frong of house stock items.”
“We are very excited by this expansion and are looking forward to welcoming new members to the team who are just as passionate about stocktaking as we are.”
