Timey ＜215A＞ announced on the 3rd that Iwabuchi Pharmaceutical will start using the skimabite service “Timey” operated by the company from 2024/9.

Iwabuchi Pharmaceutical is a general pharmaceutical trading company that celebrated 110 years since its establishment in 2024/3.

Now, with the aim of achieving more stable human resource matching, Iwabuchi Pharmaceutical will begin introducing “Timey” in 2024/9. The main tasks include picking within the distribution center operated by the company, refilling products, and cleaning up cardboard. They cut out tasks that can be handled immediately without expertise or technology related to medical care, and are requested from workers. Thus, it aims to reduce the workload of employees and existing employees, prepare an environment where they can concentrate on work requiring expertise and technology, and contribute to improving the working environment and productivity at the site.

Recently, the shortage of human resources at manufacturing and supply sites for pharmaceuticals and medical devices has become serious.

In order to contribute to the resolution of these industry issues, Timey will strengthen skimabite dissemination activities at pharmaceutical/medical device manufacturing and supply sites from around the spring of 2024. First, we will utilize our know-how in the logistics industry, which is one of the main industries that utilize Timey, and promote introduction at the center of pharmaceutical/medical device wholesale companies, led by Iwabuchi Pharmaceutical, which was introduced this time. Usage spread rapidly by supporting thorough extraction of operations that do not require specialized knowledge or technology, and the number of people recruiting skimabites related to pharmaceuticals and medical devices listed on Timey expanded about 3.3 times compared to the same month last year in 2024/7.
