RowBotic

Physical AI for pharmacy operations

Turn your existing pharmacy shelves into intelligent shelves.

RowBotic connects your existing pharmacy software to the physical shelf with AI-assisted receiving, barcode intelligence and Pick-to-Light.

No ERP replacement. No pharmacy rebuild.

Stock, synced in real time with your billing system.

Stock-outs, expiry losses, and end-of-day surprises usually come down to one thing: nobody has a live, physical count of what's actually on the shelf. RowBotic keeps that count and syncs it to your billing system in real time — not the other way around.

Real-time sync

Physical stock and your billing system, always in sync.

Pick-to-Light

The shelf lights up. The product is picked.

Pick-to-Light

One lit bin. One correct pick. Every time.

Waiting for a pick request

Event sequence

  1. pos.product_selected
  2. pick.requested
  3. location.resolved
  4. device.light_on
  5. pick.confirmed
  6. pos.sale_completed
  7. inventory.synced

The light activates when a pick is requested — not after the sale closes. A completed sale updates stock; it does not initiate picking.

AI receiving

Supplier documents become review-ready inventory data.

AI receiving

From paper to structured data, automatically.

AI proposes a match; a person reviews and confirms before anything is received into stock. Every confirmed invoice improves future matching.

Integrations

Keep the system your pharmacy already uses.

Integrations

An add-on to what you already have, not a replacement.

Domain logic is never coupled to a vendor's tables. RowBotic never writes to production ERP tables outside documented, vendor-supported mechanisms.

Physical location intelligence

More than a stock count — a product ↔ location graph.

Every product mapped to a real, physical address.

Lots

— LOT A123 → exp. 2027-01

— LOT B384 → exp. 2027-08

This graph unlocks:

  • — Picking & replenishment
  • — Cycle counting
  • — Expiry workflows & FEFO
  • — Discrepancy handling
  • — Multi-location stock

Stock audit

Walk every gondola. Know exactly what's really there.

Stock audit

Point, confirm, move on to the next bin.

How it works

  1. 1Choose a gondola or row to audit
  2. 2The app guides you product by product
  3. 3Shows the quantity currently on record
  4. 4Confirm it or adjust the real count
  5. 5Differences are logged for investigation

Every confirmed count updates stock in real time — no need to wait for a full inventory close to know what's actually on the shelf.

WMS at pharmacy scale

A warehouse management system, right-sized for your pharmacy.

No community pharmacy buys a WMS — not because the problem doesn't exist, but because nothing in that market is priced or scoped for a single storefront. RowBotic brings the same core primitives down to that scale.

WMS at pharmacy scale

The same primitives, at the scale of one storefront.

Enterprise WMS

Manhattan, SAP EWM, Blue Yonder, Infor, Körber

  • — Built for distribution centers and 3PLs
  • — Multi-year implementations
  • — Dedicated integration teams
  • — Six/seven-figure budgets

RowBotic

Pharmacy-scale WMS core

  • — Built for a single store or small chain
  • — Deployed on existing shelving in days
  • — Layered on your current POS/ERP
  • — Priced per store, not per distribution network

Brownfield installation

Retrofit hardware for conventional pharmacy shelves.

RowBotic Grid Light installs directly on existing shelving — no structural work, no dedicated space, no full robotics capex. Larger operations can connect industrial Pick-to-Light hardware through the same abstraction.

Pilot program

Run a measured pilot in your pharmacy.

We instrument the pilot from day one — baseline search times, pick times and location accuracy — so results are measured, not assumed. No ERP replacement, no structural installation required.
