Expiry write-offs quietly eat into an independent pharmacy's margin. Stock is ordered in bulk for a better unit price, demand shifts, and slower-moving items sit on the shelf until they are no longer sellable.
Lifeline HMS tracks every item by batch and expiry date, and surfaces the ones at risk before they turn into a loss.
Batch-Level Tracking
Every item received is logged against its batch and expiry date. Inventory counts update automatically as sales and stock receipts happen, so the system reflects what's actually on the shelf without a manual recount.
Expiry Alerts and FEFO
- Configurable alerts at 30, 60 or 90 days before a batch expires
- First-Expiry-First-Out guidance built into the dispensing flow, so staff sell the soonest-expiring batch by default
- Slow-moving item reports to catch overstocking before it becomes an expiry problem
Multi-Location Pharmacies
Pharmacies with more than one store can see stock levels across all locations and transfer inventory between them before a batch expires at one store while another is running low on the same item.
