Pharmacy inventory is not what the system says it is

Pharmacy chains rely on ERP and POS data that updates with delay and does not reflect real shelf conditions. As a result, availability, stock accuracy, and operational decisions are based on incomplete data.

System ≠ reality

Stock exists in the system, but not in the pharmacy. Leads to lost sales and incorrect availability.

Delayed data

Inventory updates are hours behind actual events. Decisions are made on outdated information.

Stock discrepancies

Mismatch between system data and physical stock. Hidden losses and inventory errors.

No real-time visibility

No way to see actual availability across pharmacies. No control over operations at network level.

Dead stock & overstock

Slow-moving and excess inventory remain unmanaged. Tied-up capital and inefficient assortment.

No real-time ground truth → no control → lost sales.

Real-time data directly from pharmacy operations

Hot Stock connects between scanner and POS and captures every barcode event in real time.

We give pharmacy structured real-time data 8–12 hours earlier than any existing system.

Why existing solutions fail

None of them provide real-time ground truth.
  • RFID → expensive

    RFID → expensive

    Requires tagging every product.
  • Cameras → unreliable

    Cameras → unreliable

    • occlusion
    • poor lighting
    • false detections
  • ERP → delayed

    ERP → delayed

    Data updates only after shift closure.
From data → to revenue
Recover lost sales in real time
Availability → control
Prevent stock gaps and ensure medicine availability across pharmacies.
Dead stock / assortment
Identify slow-moving medicines and optimize assortment and working capital.
Proactive availability
Detect issues early and maintain consistent availability across the network.
Inventory accuracy
Align inventory data with actual availability in pharmacies.
