The pharmacy business is no exception. Any amount of time you spend counting pills and auditing inventory, costs you. You may think there is no easy solution to these labor-intensive tasks. At RxSafe, the solution is automation, done with today’s technology, and not relying on so-called “robots” that have been in the industry for 25-30 years. The [RxSafe 1800](https://info.rxsafe.com/solutions/rxsafe-1800/) offers automation that reduces the need for your employees to do tedious but vital tasks such as counting pills and conducting regular audits. Those simple tasks, which take little skill, do not make the most of your employees' time or training. The RxSafe 1800 uses top-of-the-line technology that ensures both speed and accuracy. This offers you a return on investment that you may have to experience to believe.  ![](https://info.rxsafe.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/FTE-hours-278x300.jpg?width=278&name=FTE-hours-278x300.jpg) “Our primary goals for making this automation investment were to increase our [workflow and inventory management](https://info.rxsafe.com/effects-of-robotic-pharmacy-workflow-automation-technology-on-retail-pharmacy-safety-and-security/) efficiency so we could free up staff to spend more time and attention on clinical services and other revenue generating activities,” says Eric Black, R.Ph., owner of the [Medicine Shoppe](http://www.mtvernonhealth.com) in Vernon, Ill.

It provides accurate on-hand information, so you always know your exact, on-hand inventory for each stock bottle. There’s no need to do inventory audits or daily cycle counts. No more last-minute ordering or waiting until it's too late to reorder. Of course, inventory tracking isn't just about ordering. You can also identify any inventory that is about to expire or missing due to theft or human error. Because the RxSafe 1800 does your auditing for you, you also don't have to worry about simple mistakes that can lead to bigger problems down the line. **Remote Inventory Tracking** The RxSafe system doesn't just track your inventory, it offers remote stock management as well. This system keeps track of inventory numbers and expiration dates in as many locations as you desire. Why pay for multiple individuals in a variety of locations to count and audit when you don't have to? Human mistakes that invariably happen can be virtually eliminated with the RxSafe 1800. **The Most Secure System Around** Your employees don't need to waste time being constantly vigilant managing stock on multiple shelving units or worried about continuously monitoring a [vial-filling robot](https://info.rxsafe.com/pharmacy-alternative-to-vial-filling-robots/) with an open cassette system. The RxSafe 1800 uses closed, locked storage in one secure workstation. It also uses a weighing system to ensure that drug contents are always accurate. All user activity is tracked by the RxSafe system. You can always feel secure with the RxSafe 1800. **Proven ROI** The RxSafe 1800 has a proven return-on-investment. Our customers have realized savings of more than 19% in FTE hours. Couple that with RxSafe’s inventory management system, and you can see a positive return on investment (ROI) in as little as 12 months. Imagine a pharmacy automation system that [pays for itself](https://info.rxsafe.com/dare-to-compare/) in about a year, but keeps working just as hard on day 366 as it did on day one.
