Farmacia La Quintana is a pharmacy in Montmeló, a town of about 9,000 residents in the Vallès Oriental region a few miles from Barcelona. It offers prescription dispensing, dermopharmacy, orthopedic products, and nutrition advice, serving its patients through a small team where every shift matters.
The challenge: split shifts, absences, and time records in a pharmacy
Managing a pharmacy's working hours means coordinating morning and afternoon shifts, occasional changes, vacation, leave, and busier periods without losing sight of counter coverage.
Spanish employers must also keep a daily record of each employee's working time, retain it for four years, and make it available in the event of an inspection. For a small pharmacy, doing this on paper or in spreadsheets can create an unnecessary administrative burden.
Oriol already divides his day between patient care and running the business. Adding more manual work to reconcile time entries, shifts, and absences was not a practical option.
The solution: straightforward compliance from day one
Oriol found what he needed in TalentoHQ: a tool his team could use without complex training that would also help him keep employment administration in order.
“It is an intuitive, easy-to-use application for small businesses that want to comply with current regulations.”

Digital time tracking aligned with Spanish requirements
Each team member records their start and finish time from an approved device. The records remain digitized, organized by person, and available whenever Oriol needs to review them or prepare documentation.
Shifts that reflect the pharmacy's daily routine
Morning and afternoon schedules are organized in a clear calendar. Oriol can check coverage, make adjustments, and keep the team informed without depending on scattered messages or changes written on paper.
Vacation and absences under control
With a team of three employees, every absence has an effect. Managing vacation and leave in an orderly way helps the pharmacy anticipate coverage needs and avoid conflicts during busier weeks.
The plan described in this Spanish customer story includes the time-tracking tools the pharmacy needs from €55 per year for five users.
Direct support during setup
The software itself was not the only thing that made a difference for Oriol. The assistance he received when questions arose during the initial setup mattered as well.
“The personalized support was excellent: attentive service and highly effective answers.”
The TalentoHQ team responded directly and quickly, with communication suited to a small business that needs to resolve questions without lengthy processes or generic replies.
The results: organized without added complexity
Since Farmacia La Quintana started using TalentoHQ, its working-time records have been digitized, shifts are easy to review, and vacation is handled more systematically. The documentation is centralized and available for internal review or a possible inspection.
Time that could have been spent reconciling schedules manually can now go toward what matters most: caring for patients and continuing to develop the pharmacy.
“I would recommend the company without hesitation.”
In summary
Farmacia La Quintana replaced manual time, shift, and absence processes with organized digital records, without adding unnecessary complexity and with pricing designed for a small team.
