Why personal care matters for a pharmacy

Prescription margins are regulated. The lever for profit is OTC, personal care and diagnostics, all margin-accretive.

Veira reports per-segment margin in real time and flags slow OTC SKUs for return-to-supplier.

Prefer this running automatically, on every sale, with no manual entry?

Worked examples

Standard chemist mix

Rx 50%·22 + OTC 30%·30 + PC 20%·40 = ~28% blended
