Inventory Management for Pakistani Pharmacies: Batch, Expiry & DRAP

Pakistani pharmacies face inventory challenges most retailers don't: batch tracking, expiry date management, DRAP-friendly records, and controlled drug registers. FinovaOS gives you a batch tracking module alongside the standard inventory system so pharmacies can keep this information in one place.

Why Standard Inventory Software Falls Short for Pharmacies

• ✓Most SME software doesn't have a place to record batch numbers
• ✓No expiry visibility — expired stock sits on the shelf until noticed
• ✓No FIFO discipline — new stock gets sold before older stock
• ✓No dedicated register for controlled substances or serialised items
• ✓Weak audit trail when a supplier requests a recall

FinovaOS Batch Tracking Module

FinovaOS ships with a Batch Tracking module where you record each incoming batch — product, batch number, expiry date, and quantity. A separate Serial Tracking module handles serialised items where each unit has to be individually accounted for.

Expiry Visibility

The Batch dashboard flags every batch by expiry status: expired items in red, batches expiring within 30 days in amber, and healthy stock in green. Sort by urgency and act — clearance sale, supplier return, or write-off — before the loss hits your P&L.

FIFO Discipline

Because expiries are visible at a glance, staff can pick the oldest batch first. Pair it with the standard inventory module — every purchase invoice adds stock and every sales invoice deducts it — to keep quantities honest.

Records for DRAP and Recalls

When an inspector or supplier asks which batch went where, the Batch and Stock Movement reports give you a clean trail: what came in, what went out, and current on-hand. Keeps you well-prepared for DRAP inspections without a paper register.
