Octabiz
For pharmacies

Know every batch and every expiry date on your shelves

Octabiz for pharmacy inventory teams lets independent pharmacies record a batch number and expiry date for every delivery, and receiving will not save a delivery without them. Set a product to first expiry, first out and sales take the batch that expires soonest. You get an alert before a batch expires and a reorder when stock runs low.
