Tellica Partners with MegaFactory to Build Smart Pharmacy Model... "ESL and AI-Based Operational Innovation" View original image

MegaFactory is a large-scale warehouse-style pharmacy, often referred to as the "Costco of pharmacies." Tellica's ESLs are currently installed at its Seongnam location. Both companies aim to improve traditional pharmacy operations and establish a system that provides customers with more accurate information through digital transformation into smart pharmacies.


By installing ESLs, product prices and information are managed digitally, reducing the workload for pharmacists who previously had to manually replace paper price tags. Price, inventory, and promotion information can be updated in real time from a central server, significantly improving store operation efficiency. MegaFactory explained that Tellica's ESL solution has reduced the time required to update information for each display and has greatly enhanced operational efficiency.


Major areas of the store feature multi-vision signage to provide information on over-the-counter medicines and seasonal promotions. An open innovation initiative is also underway, utilizing an active artificial intelligence (AI) analytics solution supplied by Tellica to verify inventory management and content effectiveness based on daily sales data. Through this, the store is able to simultaneously assess the effectiveness of promotions and inventory adequacy, further optimizing operational efficiency.



Jung Dooseon, CEO of MegaFactory, stated, "This project is not just about introducing new technology, but marks the first step toward opening a next-generation pharmacy model. By building a data-driven operational system, we will create an environment where pharmacists can focus on their core work and lead the digital innovation of pharmacies in Korea."
