The problem it solves

Keeping track of what's running low or about to expire across a full pharmacy inventory is easy to miss when you're busy with customers. A missed reorder means a stockout, and missed expiries mean wasted product and compliance risk.

Who it fits

A pharmacy or small retail health business managing physical inventory.

How it works

  1. Every morning the system checks your inventory spreadsheet
  2. It flags any medicine that's low on stock or nearing its expiry date
  3. It updates the spreadsheet with the alert status
  4. It emails you a summary of what needs attention
What you get

Shelves that never run out or expire unnoticed

You get an early warning before medicine runs low or expires, keeping your pharmacy shelves stocked and fully compliant.

What you get

A daily email alert listing medicines that are low in stock or close to expiring.

What you need

A Google Workspace account and an email account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
