Case Study: Grupo JOMI
Ricoh and Grupo JOMI co-created smart and efficient workspaces tailored to the needs of the Salvadoran company, offering computer management, process automation, and printing services. This collaboration has become an example of digital transformation in the pharmaceutical and consumer goods sector.
History and Context
GRUPO JOMI is a Salvadoran company with a regional presence that manufactures, distributes, and markets pharmaceutical and consumer products. Its history in the country began in 1986, with the vision of Don Oscar and Doña Mirian, who, with great sacrifice and hard work, acquired the Guadalupe pharmacy, which already represented Tetracycline 250 MK, a highly demanded and recognized medication in the country. Almost 40 years later, GRUPO JOMI has become a solid company with around 500 employees and a chain of more than 40 pharmacies (Farmacias La Vida). It is a source of pride for El Salvador.Business Challenge
The renowned pharmaceutical company GRUPO JOMI had identified a critical challenge in its billing process. To ensure that its new ERP system would function optimally in its 36 pharmacies distributed throughout the country, it was essential to make a significant investment in modernizing the technological tools used at the points of sale.
Following an analysis by the Ricoh team, it was determined that the current computers at the cash registers did not meet the standards required to support the advanced functionalities of the new ERP. Therefore, it was of utmost importance to provide each of the pharmacies, as well as the central laboratory, with modern and efficient equipment. This includes computers, but in addition to this, the need for ticket printers that are not only fast but also offer quality and durability in the printing of each ticket was identified.
Ricoh Solution
Ricoh presented a comprehensive solution to the customer, wich includes Device Management as a Service (Ricoh DaaS) with 38 DELL computers (Ricoh LATAM partner, Titanium Partner). Complementing this, the ticket and label printing process for pharmacies was automated with thermal printers and smart multifunction devices from Ricoh for higher quality copies and prints and greater agility in document digitization in the workplace.
This technological upgrade guarantees the capacity and quality necessary for the optimal functioning of cash registers in all branches, speeding up the issuance of invoices at points of sale.
The office printing equipment is not only modern but also offers versatility and speed, enabling efficient document management from the cloud.
This investment not only optimizes processes but also raises the level of customer service, maintaining customer loyalty.
Results (Benefits of the customer)
