Opes RxStock

Batch, expiry and margin control for retail and hospital pharmacies

Request a demonstration

Expired medicine is a pharmacy's most avoidable loss. It is bought with real money, sits in plain sight for months, and becomes worthless on a date that was printed on the box the whole time. Most pharmacies discover the problem during a stock count, which is far too late to act on it.

Opes RxStock tracks stock at the batch, not the product. Every pack knows its expiry, the counter always dispenses the batch expiring first, and the alerts arrive early enough that near-expiry stock can still be sold, returned or transferred.

What Opes RxStock does

Batch and expiry tracking

Stock held per batch with its own expiry date, so quantity on hand is always split by how long it has left.

First-expiry-first-out

The counter is directed to the batch expiring soonest, which removes the single largest cause of avoidable write-off.

Staged expiry alerts

Alerts at ninety, sixty and thirty days, early enough to run a promotion, transfer stock or negotiate a supplier return.

Controlled substances

Restricted lines require prescription capture and authorised staff, with a register that satisfies inspection.

Margin and fast movers

Margin per line and movement per month, so shelf space follows what sells rather than what was ordered last year.

Branch transfers

Move near-expiry stock to a branch where it turns faster, tracked as a transfer rather than a mystery adjustment.

Who it is for

Retail and community pharmacies, hospital and clinic pharmacies, pharmaceutical wholesalers and distributors, and pharmacy chains managing stock across branches in Cameroon.

How it works

1

Stock received

Goods received per batch with expiry date, supplier and cost. Short-dated deliveries are flagged at receipt, before they are accepted.

2

Shelved by expiry

Stock is arranged and recorded so the batch expiring soonest is the one presented at the counter.

3

Dispensed

The sale takes from the earliest-expiring batch. Controlled lines capture the prescription and the dispensing staff member.

4

Alerted

Near-expiry alerts fire at ninety, sixty and thirty days, with the value at risk, so action is possible while it is still worth taking.

5

Resolved

Near-expiry stock is promoted, transferred or returned to the supplier; anything genuinely expired is written off with authorisation and a record.

Common questions

How is this different from PHARMIS?

PHARMIS is the full pharmacy information system inside a hospital, connected to prescribing and patient records. Opes RxStock is the standalone stock, expiry and counter system for a retail or community pharmacy. Both can be run together where a hospital also operates an outward-facing pharmacy.

Will it stop staff selling an old batch by accident?

The counter is directed to the correct batch at the point of sale, so first-expiry-first-out stops depending on which box is nearest the assistant's hand.

Can it handle supplier returns?

Yes. Near-expiry stock eligible for return under your supplier agreement is identified early and tracked through the return, so the credit is actually claimed.

Does it work across several branches?

Yes. Stock and expiry are visible per branch, and transfers let you move short-dated stock to the branch that will sell it fastest instead of writing it off.
