The problem

Expiry was checked by walking the shelves. Stock was found after its date more often than before, and the loss was absorbed silently.

What we built

We capture expiry at goods receipt and report near-expiry stock by branch and days remaining, so markdowns happen while there is still value to recover.

What changed

What the delivered system does differently from the process it replaced.

  • Near-expiry stock is listed before the date passes
  • Markdowns are recorded as a decision rather than a loss

Why this customer is not named

Most of our customers allow the work to be described but not their name published. Where a customer has given permission, their name and testimonial appear here.

Independent accounts of our work are published by customers themselves on our Facebook reviews page.

Does this look like your problem?

If any of this is familiar, the first step is the same one this project started with: a free requirement study that ends in a written scope and a fixed price.
