Expired medicine is money you already paid for, sitting on the rack, about to become worthless. The single biggest reason chemists move to proper software is batch and expiry tracking — knowing exactly what expires when, and acting before it does.
Why expiry tracking is non-negotiable
Without it, expiry is discovered at the counter — too late to return to the supplier. With batch-and-expiry software, near-expiry stock is flagged weeks ahead so you can return or move it, and expired batches are blocked from being sold at all.
What the software does
- Every purchase recorded with batch number and expiry date
- Near-expiry alerts weeks in advance
- Expired stock blocked from billing automatically
- FEFO (first-expiry-first-out) suggestions at billing
- Batch-wise purchase and sales returns to suppliers
- Expiry and dead-stock reports for smarter purchasing
The bottom line
Tighter expiry control alone often saves more than the software costs — while keeping you compliant and your customers safe. Add salt-wise billing and GST, and the whole shop runs cleaner.
How early are near-expiry alerts?
Alert windows are configurable — commonly 30, 60 or 90 days before expiry — so you have time to return or sell the stock.
Does it support returns to the distributor by batch?
Yes, near-expiry or expired stock can be returned against the exact batch and supplier, keeping accounts accurate.
