AUGUST 2019 NACDS TSE SHOW PREVIEW
Similasan Similasan is best known for its gentle remedies that provide temporary, symptomatic relief from ailments of the eyes, ears, nose, head and chest. Yann Pigeaire, vice president of marketing at Similasan, based in Highlands Ranch, Colo., said success of the brand, which originated in Switzerland in 1980, is due to the company’s ongoing focus and commitment to provide natural alternatives for common eye, ear, head and chest issues. At NACDS TSE, Similasan will introduce SeaRinse Ear Cleansing Spray. “The minerals found in sea water have special properties that help cleanse ear wax, and the spray action helps flush trapped water or debris from the ear,” Pigeaire said. “The spray can clean ears deeper than a cotton swab without harming them, and it’s easy to use.”
Suncayr Officials at Mississauga, Ontario-based Suncayr said they are adding excitement to the sun care aisle with SPOTMYUV, which uses a patented skin mimicking technology that helps people remember to reapply sunscreen. Derek Jouppi, COO, said after a successful launch in Australia in 2018, the company decided to bring the product to the United States, where it will be making its premiere at the show. “We are excited to introduce this new product to retailers interested in providing a groundbreaking sun care innovation to the millions of Americans who use sunscreen,” Jouppi said. “SPOTMYUV is the perfect complement to the sun care aisle. It is unique in that these stickers work with every kind of broad-spectrum sunscreen on the market and stay on all day long through multiple sunscreen applications, swim and sweat. Plus, they won’t leave a tan line on your skin.”

The Compliance Team The Compliance Team provides accreditation services to a number of different healthcare providers, including pharmacies. The Medicare-approved company is best known for its proprietary certification program, Exemplary Provider Accreditation. It also is recognized as the first for-profit, certified woman-owned and nurse-led national healthcare accreditation organization. Sandra Canally, founder and CEO of the Spring House, Pa.-based company, said her team specializes in helping companies enhance the quality of patient care and services they offer. “We act as a thirdparty quality validator and streamline their operations and standardize processes,” Canally said. “Our goal is to simplify healthcare accreditation and turn the entire process into a more reliable and consumerfriendly approach.” At NACDS TSE, The Compliance Team will be talking to attendees about its day-today business challenges and ways in which the company can help pharmacists expand their role to better serve the patient and, at the same time, enhance its bottom line.
Supplylogix Supplylogix’s predictive intelligence tools help pharmacies to better manage their inventory, improve profitability, optimize replenishment and minimize potential losses from unsalable returns. Nathan Chapman, vice president and general manager of the Las Colinas, Texasbased company, said the new enhanced SelfService Tooling feature, available to Pinpoint Transfer customers, puts even more inventory control in the hands of administrative users by automating generic product indicator updates on a daily feed from Medi-Span to ensure their transfer exclusion list is consistently restricting the proper medications by NDC code. Chapman said this new feature also gives administrators the ability to access information needed to identify and delete pending invoices created in error instantaneously, thus eliminating help desk wait times by allowing real-time corrections. Supplylogix officials said they will continue helping pharmacies unlock valuable insights hidden within their existing data, empowering them to make more analytically driven inventory decisions.
RelayHealth Pharmacy Solutions With more than three decades of retail pharmacy technology experience, RelayHealth officials said they have helped more than 55,000 U.S. pharmacies increase profitability, enhance operational efficiency, improve compliance and streamline pharmacy operations. Scott Genone, vice president and general manager, said the company achieves this by leveraging a diverse array of solution configurations to meet customer needs with a $0 IT investment, as well as with immediate reimbursement and audit protection benefits when services are enabled. At the show, RelayHealth is introducing Savings SeekerRx, a pharmacy-friendly program that delivers prescription savings for cash-paying patients and carries additional branded drug discounts for registered users.
