This runs on its own — no one has to remember.
Expiry is the quiet leak in every clinic pharmacy. Strips and vials sit at the back of the shelf, slowly ageing, until one day someone reaches for them and the date has passed — and that stock goes straight in the bin as a dead loss. It can quietly waste a tenth or more of stock value over a year. Nobody sets out to let medicines expire; it’s just that checking every batch’s date by hand is tedious, and on a busy counter it never rises to the top of the list until it’s already too late to act.
Without it
Medicines quietly expire on the shelf. Expiry can waste 10–15% of stock value — money thrown straight in the bin.
With Clinizy Care — automatically
Clinizy Care flags batches nearing expiry (with stock still on hand) so you can use-first, discount, or return them before they’re a write-off.
How it works, step by step
Batch nearing expiry
Clinizy Care flags it early
Used or returned — waste avoided
A morning sweep looks across your stock at the batch level and flags any batch that’s nearing expiry while there’s still quantity on hand — the ones you can still do something about. Because it works batch by batch on a first-expiry-first-out basis, not just per item, it points you to exactly what to move first. The flag comes early enough that you have real choices: use that batch first, discount it, or return it to the supplier before it becomes a write-off. It’s a daily nudge in the app, so nothing ages out unseen.
Time saved
No manual expiry-date audits
Money saved
Cut expiry write-offs from 10–15% of stock value
By catching batches while there’s still time to use, discount, or return them, clinics can cut the expiry write-offs that eat a chunk of stock value each year. Less medicine ends up in the bin and more stays on the shelf. How much you save depends on your range and turnover, but it targets a pharmacy’s biggest leak.
Illustrative estimates based on typical India clinic benchmarks; actual results vary by clinic.

Questions, answered
How early does it warn?
Far enough ahead to act — the window is tunable per clinic.
Does it track batches?
Yes — it works at the batch level (FEFO), not just the item.
Can it return stock to the supplier automatically?
No — it flags the near-expiry batch so your team can decide whether to use it first, discount it, or arrange a return. The action stays with you; Clinizy Care simply makes sure you spot the batch while there’s still time.
Does it only warn once, or keep the batch on the list?
A batch keeps showing on the near-expiry list while stock is still on hand, so it isn’t a one-time warning you might miss. Once the stock is used, returned, or written off, it clears from the list.
