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

ChemPro’s pharmacy network faced rising energy costs, with refrigeration for vital medications and day-to-day operations driving heavy demand. As they explained, "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."

Zembl stepped in with a tailored multisite energy agreement. By consolidating contracts across all locations, we secured competitive rates and simplified account management, delivering approximately $116,000* in annual savings.

The switch was seamless. As ChemPro put it, "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."

With streamlined billing, reduced admin, and expert support, ChemPro can now focus on running their pharmacies with confidence their energy needs are under control.

*Savings are estimates only and are based on comparing the customer’s previous energy rates with the new rates arranged through Zembl, using the customer’s historical usage data. Actual savings may vary depending on changes to energy usage, future rates, and other factors outside of Zembl’s control. Past savings are not a guarantee of future outcomes.
