APCI Pharmacy Retail Operations (PRO) logo

With shrinking margins, rising costs, and increasing complexity, independent pharmacy owners need more than data; they need direction. APCI’s Pharmacy Retail Operations (PRO) program provides financial insight, operational support, and strategic solutions tailored to the realities of pharmacy ownership.

Through financial analysis, benchmarking, and consultant support, PRO helps pharmacy owners identify hidden inefficiencies, understand performance gaps, and act on opportunities that can strengthen long-term value. By combining practical tools with pharmacy-specific expertise, PRO helps pharmacies build stronger, more profitable, and more sustainable businesses.

Financial Analysis and
Benchmarking

At the foundation of PRO’s services is the Financial and Industry Benchmark Analysis (FIBA), a comprehensive review of financial performance and operational efficiency, presented alongside peer and industry benchmarks.

This industry-leading report enables pharmacy owners to:

  • Identify strengths and weaknesses across key performance indicators
  • Assess alignment with best practices in staffing, payroll, and inventory
  • Use comparative data to guide decision-making and goal setting
  • Build a clearer, more actionable financial picture of the business

This analysis serves as a strategic starting point for business improvement and growth.

OneQ Performance
Opportunities

APCI PRO members also have access to OneQ, APCI’s proprietary platform designed to help independent pharmacies identify actionable opportunities across purchasing, prescription data, clinical services, and claims reconciliation.

OneQ complements the broader PRO approach by helping members move from analysis to action. The platform gives pharmacies a practical way to review opportunities that may support smarter purchasing decisions, stronger reimbursement oversight, and improved pharmacy performance.

Through OneQ, PRO members can review potential opportunities related to inventory returns, discounted generics, inventory exchanges, NPI reviews, DAW reviews, NDC reviews, clinical opportunities, and more.

  • Purchasing Opportunities
    Identify opportunities that may help your pharmacy make smarter buying decisions and better manage purchasing performance.
  • Prescription Data Reviews
    Evaluate key prescription data points, including NPI, DAW, and NDC review opportunities.
  • Clinical Service Opportunities
    Review clinical opportunities that may support expanded patient care services and improved pharmacy performance.
  • ResolveRx Claims Reconciliation
    Track payments, identify potential issues, and manage reimbursement follow-up through APCI’s ResolveRx process.

Used regularly, OneQ helps PRO members better connect financial and operational insight with practical next steps that can strengthen the business side of the pharmacy.
