Innovation - Ernesto Olmedo

Our principle commitments are, above all, to guarantee maximum quality and the best service in distribution. To achieve this, we have always depended on state-of-the-art technology throughout our company’s history, which has allowed us to be on the cutting-edge of the industry and meet our goals.

Amongst the main achievements in our advances in innovation are:

2008

We were pioneers in Andalusia in incorporating an automated vertical storage system for pharmaceutical products, an innovation which optimised lot traceability and preparation for picking. This completely automated system manages orders, guarantees maximum safety and control and increases speed and agility.

2009

We made strides towards our goal of providing our clients with the best service by creating our own e-commerce website. In addition to service via telephone, we offer the possibility to place orders using our e-commerce website to provide a more convenient option for our users.

2014

We increased the size of our facilities by adding a training room in which we could hold variety of courses, talks and conferences so that we could contribute to the training of veterinary technicians and veterinarians, amongst other professionals.

2015

We took another step forward: in agreement with our supplier of biological products and as a model for the rest of the country, we worked together on a project with the objective of ensuring the entire cold chain is maintained unbroken and ensuring the maximum traceability of products, from the source to the destination.

To do so, the shipments that leave our suppliers’ facilities are prepared in positive temperature cold rooms with a thermometer regulating maximum and minimum temperatures. Upon receiving the products, we verify temperature variables and reject, under the initial terms of the agreement, those packages which are not within the agreed-upon range. Immediately thereafter, we register the reception of biological products in our new vertical cold storage system, the only one in the province, which manages the traceability of all lots of products individually. Once we prepare our clients’ orders, packages are transported in our refrigerated vans which are prepared for transporting biological products at a maximum temperature of 8 degrees Celsius within 48 hours.

2016

Times are changing and technology advances in leaps and bounds. We have the pleasure of presenting our new online store which uses one of the newest, most comprehensive platforms available today. Our website has also been redesigned to make it easier to use and more intuitive for visitors. Our clients’ convenience when placing orders has always been one of our objectives.

“At Grupo Olmedo we are certain that new technology and resources have been and will continue to be one of our greatest competitive advantages. As difficult as it may be, we are always willing to take on new challenges in innovation.”
