Pharmacy POS for South Africa

Pharmacies in South Africa, licensed by SAHPRA and the South African Pharmacy Council, buy medicines in batches with different expiry dates. Each delivery is entered with its batch and expiry, the till sells the batch that expires first, and expired stock is blocked from sale.

Search by brand or generic name, see what expires in the next 30 to 180 days and its value, and reorder from what actually sells.

✓Batch and expiry on every delivery
✓First-expiry, first-out; expired stock blocked
✓Expiry report with value at risk
✓Prescription-only items flagged
