Flu season often means more customers and fewer staff — how automation supports pharmacies

Flu season often means more customers and fewer staff — how automation supports pharmacies

Every flu season brings challenges for healthcare — and for local pharmacies. Demand for pain relievers, cold remedies and vitamins spikes while teams must still provide thorough advice to ill patients.


A growing shortage of skilled workers intensifies the pressure. Automation offers smart ways to reduce workload while safeguarding quality of care.

Pharmacy during flu season — automation in action

Staff shortages: a double challenge

Patient volumes rise quickly while many pharmacies lack enough qualified staff. The result: overworked teams, longer waits and lower perceived service quality — risking both satisfaction and employee health.

Automated systems as relief

CareApo24 — a 24/7 terminal purpose-built for pharmacies — enables OTC purchases independent of opening hours. By handling standard requests, it frees time for complex consultations.

Self-service terminal in a pharmacy — available 24/7

Advantages of automation during flu season

  • Efficient routine handling: High-demand items (cough syrup, fever reducers, nasal sprays) are dispensed quickly and easily.
  • 24/7 availability: Customers can get products outside normal hours — helpful for emergencies and late-night needs.
  • Shorter waits: The terminal handles simple purchases so staff can focus on 1:1 advice.
