What is expiry tracking?
Expiry tracking monitors product batch or best-before dates so you sell or rotate stock before it expires. It is critical for pharmacies, supermarkets, and any business selling food, medicine, or cosmetics with limited shelf life.
Why it matters
- Expired goods must be written off — often TSh hundreds of thousands per year for busy shops
- Selling expired products damages customer trust and can create legal risk for pharmacies
- FIFO and expiry alerts work together to rotate stock proactively
