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.
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

| 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 |

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.

Pharmacy inventory questions
What is pharmacy inventory management software?
Software that records every medicine you buy, store and sell, by batch and expiry date, so you always know what you have, what is expiring and what to reorder. poso combines it with the till and accounts.
How does poso reduce expired medicines?
It records expiry dates on receipt, sells the earliest-expiring batch first and shows batches expiring in the next 90 days, so you can act before they expire.
Can poso calculate reorder quantities?
Yes. Set a minimum and maximum per product; poso suggests the quantity that brings stock back to the maximum and drafts the purchase order.
How often should a pharmacy count stock?
A full count once or twice a year, and short cycle counts of high-value or fast-moving items every week or month. See how to do a stock take.
