Inventory Management for Pharmacy Store in India

Pharmacies have unique needs: expiry tracking, batch numbers, and regulatory compliance.

Pharmacy-Specific Challenges

• Expiry dates – Medicines expire; you must sell before that
• Batch tracking – Know which batch a product came from
• Cold chain – Some items need temperature control
• Regulatory – Drug license, record-keeping requirements
• High SKU count – Thousands of products

Best Practices

1. FIFO – First in, first out. Sell oldest stock first
2. Expiry alerts – Get notified before products expire
3. Fast-mover focus – Track OTC and common prescriptions
4. Supplier terms – Return expired/defective stock
5. Digital records – Replace manual registers
