while one is at it
Since you're here
While one is at it signals doing something additional because you're already engaged in a related task.
The logic is efficiency—since you're already there or already doing that, you might as well handle this too: I'm going to the store—while I'm at it, I'll pick up your prescription.
Sometimes suggests opportunism or afterthought: While you're at it, grab me a coffee.
