For pharmacies: nearest expiry sold first, cycle counts that do not stop selling, and supplier quotes side by side.
Dashing for pharmacies is the cashier, stock and books for a pharmacy that sells over the counter: every delivery is a batch with its expiry date, the nearest expiry sells first, a card warns before stock is lost, a cycle count posts its difference to the books on approval, and supplier prices are compared before ordering. It is not a clinical pharmacy system: no drug database and no prescriptions.
The shelf that expires
Every delivery from a supplier is recorded as a batch with its expiry date. At the sale the till suggests the batch closest to expiry, and an expired one is flagged and can only be sold with an explicit confirmation, recorded under the name of whoever gave it. The home screen carries a card counting what expires within 30 days, the window can be changed in Settings, and the morning brief reports how many units are expired or close to it.
Counting and paying
- A cycle count counts the shelf item by item while selling continues; the difference is posted on approval, and the count works on the total quantity of the item, not per branch
- Quote requests to several suppliers compared side by side, and a scorecard per supplier: on-time percentage and fill percentage
- Partial receiving of a purchase order, with the payable booked for what arrived
- Payables aging at 30, 60 and 90 days, and the list of what is due this week
- The cashier works offline; sales are saved on the device and uploaded when the connection returns
What it does not do
Not a pharmacy management system: no drug database, no prescriptions and no reporting to the Ministry of Health or the syndicate. The cycle count works on the item total, not per branch.
Common questions
Does it suit a pharmacy with two branches?
Yes: each branch keeps its own stock and batches and its own drawer; transfers move stock between branches, and profit is shown per branch. The cycle count works on the item total, not per branch.
Does it block the sale of an expired medicine?
It flags the medicine and asks for an explicit confirmation, recorded under the name of whoever gave it; there is no hard block.
Does the cashier work during an internet outage?
Yes; sales are saved on the device and uploaded automatically, each with a unique key. What needs a connection: the financial reports, the morning brief, Dash.
