Large pharmacies · Parapharmacies · Pharmacies in shopping centers
A complete cycle during the closing time, a second passage between two flows. Your team remains at the counter, and your customers enter the store from the opening to the closing time.
When all is said and done, the cleaning is still up to you.
Counter, prescriptions, orders, receipt of the vials, pharmacy, scheduling. And cleaning. On paper, one task among many others. In reality, the one that we put off, because it's the only one for which no one demands the result before it's too late.
You open at 8:30. You close at 20:00. Between these two, hundreds of passages, two deliveries from the dispatcher, the bags that are dragged to the storage room, the rainy days when the entrance marks in ten minutes. On several hundred square meters, the floor absorbs all this.
So someone passes the broom between two customers, or the contractor works late at night on a surface that is too large for the time allotted. The result depends on who is there that day.
No one does their job poorly. There is just one task too many on an already full list.
A normal day
From 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., this is what really happens in a large workshop. You will recognize every line.
What if all of this was already done
when do you arrive in the morning?
The moment of reckoning
You can't see that on a dashboard.
You can tell on a Tuesday at 4:20 PM.
A customer is waiting her turn at the counter. She looks at the floor, the traces of footsteps that leave the entrance. She says nothing; she picks up her prescription and leaves. You will never know if she will return, or if she will go to the pharmacy across the street.
Or else it's the visit of the host of your group. He arrives at 9 a.m.: everything is impeccable. You know very well that at 6 p.m. the situation would be different, and that it's just a matter of luck.
No one will send you an invoice for that. And that's the whole trick: you pay for that cost without ever seeing it happen.
What it really costs
In a pharmacy, cleanliness counts double: it is the one thing that tells you that the place is serious. Your customer doesn't distinguish between the floor and the counter; he judges the whole thing. A wet mark, a dull tile, and the impression is made before he even reaches the counter. You redesigned the layout last year. He looks down at the floor.
The cleaning department doesn't have a dedicated team: it's just one more line, stuck between the counter, the orders, and the schedule. Every additional step becomes an arbitration, and between a customer to serve and a floor to clean, it's always the floor that waits. Your preparers aren't there for that, and everyone knows it.
It depends on who is there, the time of day, and the time the provider had that evening. The outcome changes from day to day. Your regular customers see it, and a mystery customer will eventually fall on the wrong day.
The solution
A full shift during the closing hours, so that the pharmacy is clean before your arrival. Then a second shift during the day, among the customers, to maintain the level until the evening. You set the pace once; it maintains it every day, including on Saturdays when there is no preparer present.
The night cycle is over when you arrive. You open the door on a clean floor, without having to choose between receiving orders and cleaning up.
The second passage takes place during the day, with customers present. The robot detects people, slows down, and avoids the display cases, strollers, and bins. This includes the waiting area and the area around the counter.
Task reports and precise tracking: you know what was cleaned, when, and in which area. No need to ask or find out the next morning.
How he works
A Korben technician takes a first tour of the workshop with the robot. He learns about your paths, obstacles, and prohibited areas (reserved area, preparation area, robot area).
During the closure, he cleans the entire sales area. The work is finished before the arrival of the team.
In the area you have chosen, customers are present. It detects, slows down, and bypasses: no signage, no area to close.
Treated areas, schedules, duration. You can check at a glance what has been done, without having to double-check behind them.
Arbitration
In the large-scale retail sector, at Intermarché Express Villeurbanne, manual washing accounted for 3 hours and 45 minutes per day. At a large pharmacy, that time is taken by your team or paid to a contractor. Before asking if you can afford it, take a look at what manual washing already costs you.
Funding
No hidden formulas or lengthy quotes: there are only two setups, starting from €14 excluding VAT per day, and the right one mostly depends on how you prefer to incur the expense.
The robot is financed over 60 months. You pay nothing for installation and the expense is covered by the operating costs, spread over five years. This is the most common setup.
Depending on the model chosen for your surface area. 60-month financing.
You buy the counting robot. Add to that a monthly fee for usage and access to the Korben service (monitoring, updates, support), with no commitment to a fixed term.
Depending on the model chosen for your area, the details of the purchase price and the service monthly payment are given to you during the diagnosis.
The exact amount depends on your area.
It is given to you during the diagnosis.
The cleaning range
To choose, we start from your plan, not from the technical specifications: sales area, width of aisles, type of floor, opening hours. This is the entire scope of the diagnosis. Note: the range is designed for areas of at least 100 m².
The large-area format: wide aisles, long open shopping areas, shopping centers.
The autonomous scrubber drier for very large areas and logistics.
The compact format: narrow aisles, display cases, the edge of the counter.
The agile format for hard-to-reach areas and warehouses.
