The Dispensing Platform makes this crucial issue of herbal inventory management easy. Each herb (or product) can be recorded by:

• The date the batch is purchased
• Use-by date
• Quantity

Inventory levels automatically adjust after each prescription to ensure clear data on current levels. Pre-set warning levels (with simple colour coding) can be selected to alert the dispensary to low stock levels and suggest re-ordering.

The current product data fields (can be expanded) are:

• Pinyin, Latin & Chinese name
• Product codes
• Ratio: raw herb
• Stock status
• Purchase and Use by date
• Price/g (raw herb)
• Legal status
• Min & Max quantities

The system provides comprehensive management of an herbal inventory, allowing traceability and batch monitoring with full regulatory compliance and product control. Updates can be swiftly and easily managed with CSV file applications, and barcode scanning further simplifies and increases stock control accuracy and speed.
