Track batches, not just medicine names
Each purchase should record batch number, expiry date, and quantity. When you sell, the system deducts from the correct batch—FIFO-style—so audits and recalls are possible.
Set low-stock and expiry alerts
Configure minimum levels for high-turnover items. Dashboard notifications flag medicines expiring in 30/60/90 days and items below reorder point before patients ask.
Link prescriptions to pharmacy billing
When billing starts from the doctor's prescription, counter staff do not re-enter medicine names or dosages—fewer errors and faster checkout.
Reconcile stock with sales reports
Pharmacy revenue reports should tie to stock movement. Owners spot shrinkage, popular items, and margin by category without manual spreadsheets.
