Built for pharmacies and chemists
Pharmacy POS & Inventory Software
In a pharmacy, stock has a deadline. A product that sits three months too long is not slow-moving inventory, it is a write-off — and the batch it belonged to needs to be traceable long after it was sold. Owwel tracks stock as dated batches rather than a single running count.
What usually goes wrong in pharmacies and chemists
These are the gaps that quietly cost money every month. Each one has a direct answer below.
Product expires on the shelf before anyone notices it was close
No batch-level record of what was dispensed, only a total quantity
Older stock sits behind newer deliveries and is sold last
Cost of expired stock is never counted against real profit
How Owwel handles it
Every batch dated and costed
Stock arrives as a batch with its own expiry date and unit cost. The movement ledger records which batch each sale drew from, so a recall or a query has a real answer rather than an estimate.
Warned before it expires, not after
Anything expiring within thirty days is flagged, and the Batches view lets you filter to exactly that window so short-dated stock can be pushed while it still has value.
Oldest stock sells first, automatically
Sales consume the oldest available batch first, so newer deliveries stop burying older ones at the back of the shelf without anyone deciding to let that happen.
Write-offs that hit the books
Record expired or damaged stock as a write-off with a reason. It reduces inventory and appears as a real cost in your reports, so shrinkage is measured rather than absorbed silently.
