This year, the Company introduced an innovative mobile replenishment cart.
This cart helps team members like Melanie Sipe, service clerk in Denver,
to become more efficient at restocking store aisles. Products can be stored
neatly in the stockroom on these carts and rolled directly out onto the selling
floor for easier placement on store shelves. The carts are organized by aisle,
saving even more time. Walgreens estimates these carts save 2.5 hours per
week in the average store, which upon chainwide rollout, is expected to
translate to $11 million in workload efficiencies. The Company recently
expanded an internal campaign encouraging team members to submit more
ideas, like the mobile stocking cart, designed to help reduce expenses
or grow revenue.
