You found 60 units of short-dated insulin at month-end. The expiry was on the system. Nobody looked.
Drug expiry management is a daily operational discipline that manual checks don't scale across multi-store pharmacy estates. Pulse Pharma tracks every batch's days-to-expiry continuously — surfacing near-expiry windows in time to transfer, return, or mark-down rather than write off.
The cost of not catching this.
Avoidable margin loss
A 50-store pharmacy chain writing off an average of $800/store/month in expired stock is losing $480,000/year in margin that proactive rotation would have saved. FEFO enforcement is the fix — visibility is the prerequisite.
Regulatory exposure
Dispensing an expired medication — even inadvertently — is a regulatory incident in every jurisdiction Pulse supports. A pharmacist who dispensed a short-dated product because the system didn't flag it still bears the licence risk.
Recall readiness gap
When a regulator issues a batch recall, your response time depends on knowing exactly where every lot is. If your expiry records are imprecise, your recall scope is imprecise — and overscoping a recall is almost as expensive as missing it.
How Pulse catches it.
FEFO enforcement
Pulse Pharma tracks stock on a First Expiry, First Out basis. Batches within your configurable warning window (30-day default, adjustable per product class) appear in the near-expiry alert queue — not at the counter.
Controlled substance expiry flags
Near-expiry narcotics require witnessed disposal in most jurisdictions. Pulse surfaces the disposal queue with the correct regulatory procedure (per DHA / SFDA / CDSCO / PPB jurisdiction) so the pharmacist prepares in advance.
Cross-store transfer opportunity
"Which stores have near-expiry stock that Store 12 could absorb before its next order?" — Pulse can surface redistribution opportunities across your estate before write-off is the only option.
