Software for pharma distributors

Pharma distributors treat batch and expiry tracking as a legal requirement, identify near-expiry stock early enough to return it, keep Schedule H and H1 records, and watch retailer credit and outstanding balances constantly. Free goods and schemes complicate every invoice.

What breaks generic software here

The specifics a vendor demo will gloss over unless you raise them.

  • Batch and expiry tracking is a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have
  • Near-expiry stock has to be identified early enough to return it
  • Schedule H and H1 drugs carry their own record-keeping obligations
  • Retailer credit periods and outstanding balances need constant visibility
  • Free goods and scheme discounts complicate every invoice
