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)
- Meets FSSAI food batch manufacturing traceability rules
- Pass state drug inspector audits with zero paperwork discrepancies
How Batch & Serial Inventory Works in Practice
Seamlessly incorporate batch and serial tracking into your daily purchase and sales operations.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
InventoryPlus vs. Generic Non-Batch Billing Systems
Why standard POS software fails for businesses handling perishable and warranty-backed merchandise.

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.
