How a Pharma Stockist Reduced β‚Ή2.1L in Expiry Loss Every Monthβ€”Without Hiring Anyone Extra!

🧩 The Problem

Meet Sharma Distributors, a mid-sized pharma stockist from Indore.

They were losing money silently every month. Here’s what was going wrong:

❌ Old stock kept expiring β€” no one flagged it
πŸ“Š No dashboard to see which batch is expiring soon
πŸ§β€β™‚οΈ Managers were manually tracking inventory in Excel
🀯 Miscommunication between sales and inventory teams
πŸ’Έ Products nearing expiry were still being billed without discount
🧾 Returns were messy β€” no system to handle expired stock from retailers

Result? Goods worth over β‚Ή2.1 lakh were expiring every month!

πŸ’‘ The Solution

We stepped in with a simple goal: “Expiry Control = Profit Recovery.”
Here’s exactly how the ERP system solved it:

1️⃣ Step 1: Activated Stock Dashboard β€”

  • β†’ with batch expiry alerts

  • β†’ Now they saw expiring stock 15 days in advance

2️⃣ Step 2: Set up Warehouse Transfer Logs β€”

β†’ Older stock was auto-prioritized across retail locations

3️⃣ Step 3: Used Sales Module + Discount Alerts β€”

  • β†’ Products nearing expiry showed auto-suggestions for clearance rates

4️⃣ Step 4: Enabled Vendor Return Tracking β€”

  • β†’ Seamless return entries with expiry reasons logged in the system

5️⃣ Step 5: Setup Daily WhatsApp Alerts for stock managers β€”

  • β†’ β€œ5 Products Expiring This Week” alert every Monday 9AM

πŸ“Š The Result

🎯 Expiry loss dropped from β‚Ή2.4L to just β‚Ή30K
πŸ“¦ Old stock moved faster with clearance pricing
πŸ“± WhatsApp alerts ensured zero miscommunication
πŸ‘₯ No extra team needed β€” existing staff managed better
πŸ“ˆ Month-end reporting became easier & faster
