Pharmaceuticals — Every unit has to be traceable — and still reach the pharmacy on time.
What's costing you today
Batch and expiry are captured inconsistently, so a recall becomes a manual search across deliveries and outlets.
Short-dated stock sits until it can no longer be sold, and returns processing lags behind the credit the customer expects.
Tender pricing, bonus schemes and long institutional payment cycles are managed off-system, so exposure is unclear.
The run, in pharmaceuticals terms
- 1Order in
Pharmacy, hospital and institutional orders captured against the right price list, tender terms and bonus scheme.
- 2Credit check
Exposure and ageing checked per customer type — retail and institutional cycles treated differently, before release.
- 3Fulfilment
Batch and expiry captured at pick, first-expiry-first-out enforced, cold chain and controlled lines flagged for handling.
- 4Delivery
Delivery, temperature-sensitive handling and acceptance recorded, so every unit stays traceable to the outlet.
- 5Invoicing
Invoice carries batch and expiry detail, bonus units and agreed terms — ready for audit and for the customer's records.
- 6Payment & reporting
Collections reconciled, returns and credit notes processed against the original batch, recall lists reconstructable in minutes.
Your people stay in charge of the judgement calls — the pricing exceptions, the customer relationships, the tough credit decisions. Disti iQ carries the rest of the run.
What changes
- ↗Recall readiness without a manual paper search
- ↗Fewer expiry write-offs through disciplined FEFO
