The RxSafe 1800 system can also help to improve [workflow](https://info.rxsafe.com/pharmacy-design-improve-your-workflow-and-profit/) for your technicians and pharmacists alike. It can fill far more prescriptions per hour than a technician could do alone. The system can store virtually your entire pharmacy's oral solid inventory, and also saves invaluable floor space in your pharmacy so you can provide more profitable services, such as med sync. ## Stop expiration waste The RxSafe 1800 system also allows you to stop the [expiration waste](https://www.uspharmacist.com/article/the-collection-and-disposal-of-waste-medications) that most pharmacists are concerned about.

It also will alert you when it’s time for you to reorder medications so that you keep an adequate stock on hand for your customers. ## Contact us today [Pharmacy automation](https://info.rxsafe.com/optimizing-inventory-management-decreasing-errors-pharmacy-automation-case-study/) is the key to greater accuracy, reduced payroll costs, reduced losses and better inventory tracking controls.
