Batch & Expiry Tracking

Know what's about to expire before it becomes a loss.

Batch-level expiry tracking across branches and products, with alerts before stock expires — so shrinkage from expired inventory doesn't stay invisible.

Capabilities

Visibility before stock becomes a write-off.

Batch-level tracking

Track stock by batch, not just by item, so different expiry dates on the same product are visible separately.

Expiry alerts

Get notified as stock approaches its expiry date, with enough lead time to discount, transfer or sell it first.

Tracked across every branch

Batch and expiry data follows stock across branches, not just at a single location.

Expiry loss visibility

See how much stock is expiring, by item, category or branch, instead of finding out at the next physical count.

Tied to receiving

Batch and expiry details are captured when stock is received, not added as a separate manual step later.

Older-stock visibility

Surface older batches so staff can sell or use them first, reducing the chance a newer batch sells while an older one expires.

Ahead of the date, not after it

Expired stock is a lot cheaper to prevent than to write off.

Once a batch's expiry date is in the system, it stays visible in reporting and alerts the whole way through — so a discount, a transfer to a branch that can sell it, or a markdown can happen before the date hits, not after.

Questions

Batch & expiry questions, answered.

How does the system know when stock is about to expire?

Expiry dates are captured at the batch level when stock is received, and tracked from there — you don't have to enter them separately later.

Does this work across all our branches, or just one location?

Batch and expiry tracking follows stock across every branch, not just the location where it was originally received.

Can I see how much stock is at risk of expiring before it happens?

Yes. Expiry alerts and reporting give visibility ahead of the expiry date, so there's time to act instead of only finding out afterward.

Is batch tracking tied to receiving, or is it a separate manual process?

It's tied to receiving — batch and expiry details are recorded as stock comes in against a purchase order, in the same step.
