From supplier to shelf: lots, expiry dates and costs under control
Clinics, pharmacies and medical suppliers work with lots, expiry dates and thousands of items. Business Central links purchasing, inventory, equipment and finance. Patient records stay in your medical system, while Business Central handles the business side.
In healthcare, stock records mean traceability
An expired medicine on the shelf, a lot that must be recalled, a consumable missing exactly when it is needed — all of them start with incomplete records. When every lot is recorded from receipt to sale or consumption, you know where it is and when it expires.
Challenges
Key Challenges for Clinics, Pharmacies, and Distributors
Common situations in private clinics, pharmacy chains and medical suppliers.
- Products expire on the shelf because expiry dates are not tracked in time
- When a lot is recalled, it is hard to find out quickly where it went
- Consumables either run out or pile up
- Expensive medical equipment has no clear record of costs and maintenance
- The results of each department or branch are not visible
- The medical system and accounting are not connected
