6 Essential Inventory Controls for Regulated Products

Protect profit margins, ensure customer safety, and eliminate manual inventory guesswork with automated batch and serialization tools.

⏳

Automated FEFO & FIFO Picking

Human warehouse pickers naturally grab items from the nearest front shelf, leaving older stock behind until it expires. InventoryPlus enforces First-Expiry-First-Out (FEFO) or First-In-First-Out (FIFO) at the counter, automatically choosing the batch closest to expiration.

  • Eliminates expired stock sitting unnoticed on rear shelves
  • Cashier override lock prevents selling newer stock ahead of time
  • Maintains accurate batch-specific cost of goods sold (COGS)
🔔

Proactive Expiry Alert Dashboard

Stay ahead of expiring inventory before it becomes a complete financial loss. InventoryPlus groups your stock into 30, 60, and 90-day expiry windows, alerting managers to launch promotional clearance discounts, bundle offers, or initiate return-to-vendor (RTV) claims.

  • Visual color-coded expiry badges (Green, Amber, Red)
  • Auto-block selling completely expired products at checkout
  • 1-click Debit Note generation for supplier expiry claims
🔢

Unique Serial & IMEI Number Tracking

For smartphones, laptops, industrial machinery, and high-value appliances, batch numbers are not enough. InventoryPlus tracks each individual unit by unique Serial Number or 15-digit IMEI, maintaining an unbroken lifecycle log from inbound delivery to end customer.

  • Scan serial/IMEI barcodes during purchase and customer checkout
  • Prevents fraudulent return of items not purchased from your store
  • Tracks dual-SIM smartphone IMEIs effortlessly on one invoice
🛡

Warranty & Service History Tracking

When a customer brings in a defective electronic device or appliance, simply scan the serial barcode. InventoryPlus instantly pulls up the original sale invoice date, customer contact details, remaining manufacturer warranty, and previous service history logs.

  • Automates warranty start and expiration date calculations
  • Logs manufacturer replacement claims and RMA tracking numbers
  • Tracks Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) and renewal dates
🚨

1-Click Product Recall Management

In pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries, manufacturer recall notices require immediate traceability. With InventoryPlus, input any batch number to generate an instant report showing every supplier inward lot, remaining warehouse stock, and affected customer invoices.

  • Instant batch genealogy and audit trail
  • Immediately freeze quarantined batches from billing
  • Export affected customer contact lists for safety notices
📝

Pharma Schedule H & Regulatory Compliance

Comply with strict drug licensing and food safety regulations. Print mandatory batch numbers, expiry dates, doctor names, and patient details directly on retail bills. Generate regulatory Schedule H, H1, and narcotic drug sales register reports in 1 click.

  • Complies with Indian Drug & Cosmetics Act (Schedule H/H1)

  • Pass state drug inspector audits with zero paperwork discrepancies
Simple 4-Step Process

How Batch & Serial Inventory Works in Practice

Seamlessly incorporate batch and serial tracking into your daily purchase and sales operations.

1

Receive Goods & Enter Batches

During inward purchase entry, enter batch number, manufacturing date, and expiry date. For serialized goods, scan each unit barcode in bulk.

2

Print Custom Barcode Labels

Print custom barcode labels embedding the batch number, expiry date, MRP, and unique serial number to stick directly onto products or shelves.

3

Sell with Automated FEFO Picking

At the checkout counter, scan the product barcode. InventoryPlus selects the oldest valid batch automatically, warning if stock is near expiry.

4

Review Aging & Expiry Reports

Check the Aging and Expiry dashboard weekly. Identify slow-moving batches and take clearance action before products reach their expiration date.

Deep Dive

FEFO vs. FIFO: The Science of Stock Waste Elimination

Why First-In-First-Out is not enough for perishable products and how FEFO saves 8-15% in inventory shrink.

The Cost of Expired Inventory Shrinkage

In retail pharmacies, FMCG distribution, and organic food stores, expired inventory directly wipes out bottom-line operating profits:

Why FIFO Fails with Perishables:
A supplier might deliver a newer shipment with an earlier expiration date due to manufacturing batch variations. FIFO dispatches the wrong batch.

How FEFO Fixes the Problem:
FEFO strictly sorts batches by expiry date, ensuring the closest-to-expire item is always sold first, irrespective of arrival date.

Zero Accidental Sales of Expired Stock:
Hard system locks prevent cashiers from scanning or finalizing bills containing expired medicine or food items.

Serialization Architecture

High-Speed Barcode Scanning for Serialized Stock

Managing serialized products like mobile phones, laptops, and electrical motors often slows down checkout counters because cashiers struggle with serial lists. InventoryPlus makes serialization effortless.

✔

Instant Barcode Autofill: Scanning a serial barcode automatically resolves the master item code, description, and selling rate without double-scanning.

✔

Bulk Serial Import from Inward Invoices: Copy and paste hundreds of serial numbers from vendor CSV invoices or scan rapidly using 2D barcode readers.

✔

Warranty Card Printing: Prints customer name, purchase date, item serial number, and terms on a dedicated warranty certificate slip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions on Batch & Serial Tracking

Everything you need to know about setting up batching, expiration rules, and serial numbers.

Can different batches of the same product have different purchase and selling prices?

Yes! Product prices fluctuate frequently due to inflation or raw material changes. In InventoryPlus, each batch can maintain its own distinct Maximum Retail Price (MRP), wholesale selling rate, and purchase cost. When cashier scans a batch barcode, the exact price assigned to that specific batch is applied automatically.

Does the software completely block cashiers from selling expired products?

Yes. You can configure the system security permissions to enforce a hard block. If a cashier attempts to add a batch whose expiration date has passed, the software displays an error message and refuses to add the item to the bill, preventing illegal sales and protecting customer health.

Can I track dual IMEI numbers for smartphones on the same customer invoice?

Yes. InventoryPlus includes specialized fields for modern mobile retail. You can scan or input IMEI 1, IMEI 2, and Serial Number for each phone. Both IMEI numbers are saved in the system database and printed on the customer tax invoice for warranty registration.

How does InventoryPlus alert me about stock nearing expiration?

The Expiry Alert Dashboard automatically scans your entire inventory database every morning. It flags items expiring within 30, 60, or 90 days (configurable). You can export this list to Excel or generate 1-click Debit Notes for vendor returns before the manufacturer return window closes.

Can I print custom barcode labels showing batch number and expiry date?

Yes. InventoryPlus includes an integrated Barcode Label Designer. You can print customized sticker labels directly on any standard thermal barcode printer (TVS, Zebra, TSC, Godex) with product name, barcode, batch number, manufacturing date, expiry date, and MRP.
