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 Decisions are made on outdated information.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.
Inventory errors cost pharmacy networks millions every year.
Stock inaccuracies don’t just create operational issues — they directly impact revenue, working capital, and control.
-
Lost sales from stock gaps
Pharmacies lose 3–7% of sales due to unavailable medicines. -
Overstock & tied-up capital
Up to 15–25% of inventory remains overstocked or inefficiently allocated. -
Dead stock losses
Around 10–20% of SKU generate little or no movement. -
Operational inefficiencies
Manual checks and delayed data increase operational costs by 5–10%.

How pharmacy networks use this data
From raw events to real operational decisions.
- Detect stock gaps → trigger alertsAutomatically notify pharmacies when medicines become unavailable.
- Identify discrepancies → audit pharmaciesDetect mismatches between system and reality and take action.
- Monitor availability → improve supplyTrack medicine availability across the network and improve replenishment.
- Track dead stock → optimize inventoryIdentify slow-moving medicines and adjust assortment.
- Analyze trends → improve planningUse real data to improve forecasting and ordering decisions.
How It Works
No infrastructure changes

Stream
Data is delivered instantly to cloud and pharmacy systems
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.
Every scan becomes a trusted, structured data point you can act on.
