Near-expiry stock control for pharmacies and pharmaceutical distributors

Expiry loss is a planning failure, not an accident

Stock does not expire suddenly. It sits visible on a shelf for months while nobody holds a report that shows the risk in time to act.

Capture batch and expiry during the count

Adding batch number and expiry date to the count sheet costs a little more time and produces the single most valuable schedule in the whole engagement.

• Expired lines with recommended write-off value
• Lines expiring within three months
• Lines expiring within six months by branch
• Slow movers with a shelf life shorter than their sell-through rate

Turn the schedule into action

Near-expiry stock can be transferred to a faster-moving branch, discounted deliberately, or returned to the supplier where terms allow. All three options need lead time, which is exactly what the schedule buys you.
