Pelloway Pharmacy is a fictional regional retail pharmacy chain used for synthetic BI analysis. The company story is built around a portfolio of neighborhood pharmacy stores, the prescriptions they fill, the patients and prescribers behind those scripts, the payers and pharmacy-benefit plans that reimburse them, and the front-of-store retail that rounds out each location. Everything here is invented for analytics practice. No real pharmacy chain, retailer, drug manufacturer, payer, prescriber, or patient is represented, and every drug name is fabricated rather than tied to a real product.
Operating Profile
- Runs a community-pharmacy model: each store fills prescriptions, administers vaccines, runs therapy reviews, and sells a front-of-store assortment.
- Economics center on claim adjudication: every fill carries ingredient cost, dispensing fee, copay, and third-party reimbursement.
- High-volume chronic classes drive script counts and adherence economics, while acute classes turn over faster at thinner per-script value.
- Front-of-store is a monthly category sales snapshot, and the store and prescriber scorecards are monthly rollups of the dispensing detail.
- Adherence is a monthly quality-measure cohort panel tracking one chronic programme per enrolled patient, kept alongside dispensing rather than derived from it.
- Excludes real National Drug Codes, formularies, plan names, protected health information, labor scheduling, and full ledger.
Recent Business Events
- 1The fall cold-and-flu season is an executive focus because immunizations and respiratory fills lift sharply and pull store traffic with them.
- 2A push on generic dispensing and chronic-therapy adherence is reshaping per-script margin and the days-covered cohorts behind star ratings.
- 3Leadership wants one view connecting script volume, margin, adherence, payer reimbursement, inventory, and front-of-store performance.

Embedded Analytical Stories
Seasonal dispensing
Script volume, gross margin, and influenza doses all rise through the fall cold-and-flu season and ease in summer.
The generic lever
Generics are about 78 percent of fills at low ingredient cost, so the brand-generic mix drives per-script margin.
Chronic backbone
Cardiovascular, cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid, and mental-health classes dominate script volume and anchor the chronic side.
Payer behaviour
Plan type drives reimbursement, rejection, copay, and receivable days, separating Medicaid and Medicare from commercial.
Scorecard drillthrough
Store and prescriber scorecards are sums of the dispensing detail, so both trace back to individual fills.
Revenue gate
Only fills that reached the patient carry money, with an explicit dispensed flag separating returns and will-call waits.
