Pharmacy inventory software

# Pharmacy inventory software that stops waste.

Stock is a pharmacy's biggest investment and its biggest risk. poso pharmacy inventory software keeps every batch, expiry date and movement under control, so less money expires on the shelf and fewer customers leave empty-handed.

**Short answer:**
poso pharmacy inventory software tracks stock in real time by product, batch and location. It records expiry dates on receipt, sells first-expiry-first-out, flags batches expiring in the next 90 days, converts between packs and units, generates reorder lists from minimum levels, supports full and cycle stock counts and values stock at cost. Every sale and delivery updates stock automatically.

## The numbers that matter

| Measure | What it tells you | Where poso shows it |
|---|---|---|
| Near-expiry stock | Money at risk in the next 90 days | Home dashboard |
| Expired stock on hand | Money already lost, and a compliance risk | Home dashboard |
| Items below reorder level | Sales you are about to miss | Home dashboard, reorder list |
| Stock value at cost | How much cash sits on your shelves | Inventory valuation report |
| Stock turnover | How fast stock sells | Sales and stock reports |
| Count variances | Losses from errors, theft or unrecorded write-offs | Stock count results |

## What you get

### Batch and expiry tracking

Every batch with its expiry date, sold earliest-expiry first.

### Reorder rules

Minimum and maximum per product; poso drafts purchase orders.

### Packs and units

Buy cartons, stock tablets, sell boxes or strips, all from one stock figure.

### Stock counts

Full counts or a few products at a time, with variances posted automatically.

### Storage areas

Shelves, dispensary, cold chain and store room, counted and moved separately.

### Full history

Every movement with date, person and reason.

## What changes in the first months

- Expired stock is found weeks or months before expiry, while it can still be sold, moved or returned.
- Fast movers are reordered on time instead of when someone notices the empty shelf.
- Slow movers stop being reordered.
- Stock counts take less time, and differences can be traced to a movement and a person.
- You know what your stock is worth, which matters for cash flow, loans and insurance.
