Mike Nabolsi, owner of Warriors Pharmacy in Detroit, Michigan, knows firsthand how critical controlled substance compliance is for success. Before implementing C2 Keep, his pharmacy’s workflow felt disjointed, and it seemed like a key piece of the puzzle was missing. He found himself at a crossroads. On one hand, he wanted to adopt new tools to improve operations; on the other, he was cautious not to overwhelm his already busy staff.
That all changed when Mike received an email from Liberty Software, his pharmacy management system, introducing C2 Keep. After conducting his own research and participating in a personal demo with C2 Keep CEO Roland Achenjang, Mike was confident he had found the right solution to meet his controlled substance compliance needs. Today, Warriors Pharmacy benefits from streamlined record keeping, smooth integration with existing systems, exceptional customer support, and most importantly, peace of mind.

Warriors Pharmacy Seeks a Solution
Before adopting C2 Keep, Warriors Pharmacy managed its E222 forms, inventory records, and dispensing logs separately. This fragmented approach made controlled substance compliance both time-consuming and vulnerable to human error. For Mike and his team, the pressure was constant as one small oversight could result in hefty fines, license suspension, or worse, patient harm. He knew their compliance processes needed an overhaul but struggled to find the right solution.
At the same time, Mike was wary of the disruption that often comes with changing long-standing workflows. “When you add anything new into your operation or workflow, it feels like adding an additional tedious task,” he explains. He was concerned not just about the complexity of onboarding a new system, but also about placing more strain on his busy staff. What Mike needed was a tool that could streamline controlled substance compliance and boost efficiency without piling on extra work. But did such a solution even exist?
A Simple Yet Effective Solution
Mike's Introduction to C2 Keep
Mike first discovered C2 Keep through an email from his pharmacy management system, Liberty Software. Right away, he saw how the platform could address his biggest pain points with controlled substance compliance, so he scheduled a demo. From there, everything started to click. The onboarding process was seamless, and before long, Mike was already noticing meaningful improvements in his workflow.
What impressed him most was C2 Keep’s robust record-keeping capabilities. With its perpetual inventory management, tracking controlled substances in real time became effortless without having to manually update logbooks. This level of transparency gave Mike newfound peace of mind, knowing that their inventory and data were not only accurate but also secure. “It’s like having a safe for your controlled substance records,” he shared. “It makes it more comfortable to dispense them at the pharmacy.”
And for Mike, this was just the beginning.
A Controlled Substance Compliance Gamechanger
C2 Keep Integrates With Existing Workflows
One of the most powerful features of C2 Keep is its ability to integrate directly with pharmacy management systems and wholesalers. This connectivity is what truly unlocks the platform’s full potential for automation. For Mike and his team, it means a more streamlined, less burdensome approach to controlled substance compliance.
Take auditing, for example. With C2 Keep, generating DEA-compliant reports takes just seconds. “All we have to do is verify the number because it’s automatically integrated with our software,” Mike explains. The platform also pulls purchasing data directly from their wholesalers, updating inventory in real time. This level of automation dramatically improves both accuracy and preparedness across their workflows.
For Warriors Pharmacy, C2 Keep was able to take three previously disconnected areas of the pharmacy and combine them into one: E222 filing, inventory management, and perpetual log maintenance. Now, Mike can seamlessly handle it all in one place using C2 Keep’s interface. The result? Greater operational efficiency, no more data silos, and a reduced risk of human error. “It’s like a one-stop shop for your controlled substances,” Mike says.
More Than Just a Business Relationship
C2 Keep Genuinely Cares
What’s a great product without great support? At C2 Keep, we understand that offering powerful software is only part of the equation. That’s why we place such a strong emphasis on building personal relationships with our users, something Mike has experienced firsthand through direct communication with our CEO. “Roland is very passionate about the product, which is refreshing,” Mike shares. “He actually loves the product and believes in it as well.” C2 Keep has worked closely with Mike and his staff to ensure a smooth onboarding experience, and that level of support didn’t stop once the system was up and running.
Even after implementation, Roland continued to collaborate with Mike, fine-tuning the platform to better serve Warriors Pharmacy’s controlled substance compliance needs. Just like the pharmacies we support, C2 Keep is constantly growing and evolving, always looking for ways to adapt and improve. Whether it’s integrating with a new wholesaler or optimizing a workflow, the team is always one step ahead. “Anytime we had to integrate with a new wholesaler, Roland had that information ready for me before I even asked,” Mike recalls. Even when everything is running smoothly, C2 Keep stays engaged by checking in regularly, offering support, and gathering feedback to make the product even better.
Confidence is Key
The True Benefit of C2 Keep
While it’s easy to highlight the many external benefits C2 Keep brings to Warriors Pharmacy, the most meaningful impact happens behind the scenes. For Mike and his staff, the greatest value lies in the peace of mind the platform provides when managing controlled substance compliance. That peace of mind begins with simplicity. “The ease of use with C2 Keep is just great. It makes everything so simple,” Mike explains.
Rather than adding complexity to an already demanding workflow, C2 Keep streamlines and simplifies it. With more control and visibility than ever before, Mike can confidently manage compliance, knowing he is doing the right thing for his patients and community. When all of C2 Keep’s benefits are combined, they result in something rare in healthcare: a calm, stress-free environment. In a field where every detail matters, that kind of clarity is truly invaluable.
Conclusion
Looking at the big picture, C2 Keep has transformed the way Mike operates his pharmacy and will continue to shape how he runs it moving forward. The impact has been so significant that Mike shares, “I don’t see myself running a pharmacy without C2 Keep.” He’s become a strong advocate for the platform, even helping colleagues navigate their own C2 Keep implementations. “I’ve already recommended it to my colleagues, and I’ve actually helped other pharmacies with their questions on C2 Keep,” he says. With streamlined record-keeping, seamless integration, and outstanding customer support, Warriors Pharmacy has gained the confidence and peace of mind needed to manage controlled substance compliance with ease.
More than just a tool for today, C2 Keep is helping pharmacies prepare for the future. As healthcare demands grow and more pharmacies close in the wake of Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) practices, the pressure increases on those still standing. Pharmacies are being called to serve more patients while also expanding their role in frontline care. In this evolving landscape, adopting smart, time-saving technology like C2 Keep isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. By streamlining controlled substance compliance workflows, pharmacies can reclaim valuable time to focus on what matters most: caring for their communities.
