About the Project

The client distributes pharmaceutical products to roughly 600 retailers across two states. Growth had outpaced their systems: billing ran in one package, stock in spreadsheets, scheme calculations on paper and outstanding balances in a separate ledger. Reconciling them consumed most of the first week of every month.

We replaced all four with a single ERP built around batch and expiry as first-class data, then migrated three years of transaction history so comparative reporting worked from day one.

The Challenge

Expiry write-offs were running at a level the client had come to treat as a cost of doing business, because near-expiry stock was only discovered during physical verification. Scheme calculations were done manually and produced settlement disputes with retailers almost every month. Tracing which retailer had received a specific batch — a routine regulatory question — took two staff the better part of a day.

Our Solution

We built batch and expiry into every transaction type: purchase, transfer, sale, return and credit note. A configurable alert surfaces stock approaching expiry at 90, 60 and 30 days, with a suggested action for each.

The scheme engine encodes their actual commercial rules — quantity schemes, value slabs, free goods and party-specific arrangements — and applies them at billing, so every party is treated on identical logic.

A field app lets their sales team capture orders at the retailer counter with live stock and correct pricing, removing a full day of re-entry from the dispatch cycle.

The Result

Expiry-related write-offs fell substantially within two quarters, simply because near-expiry stock became visible while it could still be moved or returned. Scheme disputes effectively stopped. Batch traceability queries that took a day are now answered in under a minute.

The month-end close moved from six working days to under two.

“What convinced us was that they spent the first two weeks on our premises watching how we actually work, before showing us a single screen. The expiry alerts alone have paid for the system twice over. Month-end used to take our accounts team the better part of a week; it now takes two days.”
