About Chempro

‍

Chempro operates a network of pharmacies across Australia, serving communities in the retail healthcare sector. As a pharmacy group, their operations are energy-intensive, requiring constant refrigeration for vital medications alongside standard retail energy needs including lighting, computers, and specialised pharmaceutical equipment. The business faces unique energy challenges due to the critical nature of maintaining proper storage conditions for medications while managing the operational costs across multiple locations.

How Zembl helped

‍

Zembl's energy procurement process began with a comprehensive consultation to understand ChemPro's specific business requirements across their pharmacy network. Our team recognised the unique energy demands of the pharmaceutical retail sector, particularly the critical refrigeration needs for medication storage.

‍

Leveraging our market expertise, Zembl analysed energy options from our panel of trusted retailers to secure a competitive energy solution tailored to ChemPro's multisite operations. We facilitated a smooth transition to a SME multisite agreement, which delivered substantial cost savings of approximately $116,000 per annum.

‍

The multisite agreement provided ChemPro with significant benefits beyond cost reduction. By consolidating their energy management under one agreement, we eliminated the complexity of managing separate contracts across multiple locations. This streamlined approach delivered improved account management, clearer billing processes, and simplified administration across their pharmacy network.

‍

ChemPro highlighted the impact of rising energy costs on their operations: "With our group of pharmacies and the use of many refrigeration for vital medications along with the day to day cost of running a pharmacy with lighting, computers and machinery, the stores have definitely felt the pinch of rising energy prices over the years. It is significant for my industry as I work in retail and healthcare."

‍

The results speak for themselves. ChemPro expressed their satisfaction with the entire process: "We've had nothing but a fantastic experience with Zembl! The transition across our many stores was smooth and stress-free, and we couldn't be happier with the savings and the clear, consistent billing. It's made a real difference for us, and we're genuinely thrilled with how everything has gone."

Through Zembl's expert procurement and ongoing support, ChemPro now benefits from competitive energy rates, simplified account management, and the peace of mind that comes with having energy experts monitoring their needs across all locations.
