From demand to delivery

The tools your operation needs, working together.

Clear responsibilities, connected records and less switching between separate systems.

Procurement with a clear next step

Turn stock demand into approved purchasing, with supplier evidence and prices in view.

  • Supplier contracts and effective-dated prices
  • Safety-stock alerts and buyer ownership
  • Purchase, receipt and invoice workflows

Batch stock, from bulk to pick face

See what is available, where it is held and which stock is eligible to move.

  • Batch, lot, expiry and location traceability
  • FEFO allocation and pre-expiry blocks
  • Low pick-face alerts and scanned replenishment

Quality controls that stay in force

Give quality teams control over stock, supplier and customer holds.

  • Hold owners, reasons and release history
  • Qualification status and review dates
  • Recall blocks across affected batch stock

Picking built for the warehouse floor

Guide operators through the right location, product and batch, including mixed-product locations.

  • GS1 / GTIN and individual item scanning
  • Pause, resume and supervised handover
  • Pick documents, instructions and duration records

Pack to each customer’s rules

Bring customer requirements into the job before stock reaches the loading bay.

  • Customer-specific printed work instructions
  • Standard and Euro pallet requirements
  • Single-batch and single-product pallet rules

Plan dispatch with the load in view

Bring delivery windows, vehicle suitability and the proposed route together.

  • Stop sequencing using configured travel times
  • Volume, payload and pallet-position checks
  • Loading, dispatch and delivery records

Temperature & controlled stock

Keep temperature-sensitive and controlled-drug stock visible to authorised teams.

  • Readings, excursions and linked stock holds
  • Alerts and assessment records
  • Controlled-drug records and activity permissions

Repacking with batch genealogy

Manage secondary packaging with source packs, artwork and material records linked to the output.

  • Versioned artwork and packing instructions
  • Line clearance and material reconciliation
  • Independent release and destruction evidence

Evidence for quality & finance

Keep operational decisions reviewable and hand approved invoice data to finance.

  • User, time, reason and change history
  • IQ/OQ/PQ protocols and execution records
  • Nominal codes, cost centres and invoice exports
Quality decisions travel with the stock

A hold is more than a coloured label.

Authorised quality staff record the reason, owner and disposition. Warehouse and sales users cannot override a quality hold through normal operational actions. Eligibility is checked again when stock is picked or dispatched.

Built around your network

Two operating models. One connected stock journey.

01 / Pharmacy chains

Central stock. Connected stores.

Give warehouse and regional managers oversight across their stores. Plan ordering and delivery dates, approve requests, fulfil transfers and backorders, and record store receipts, returns and nurse stock consumption. Clinical prescribing and administration records remain separate.

Discuss your pharmacy network
02 / Wholesalers & distributors

From goods-in to customer delivery.

Qualify suppliers and customers, receive bulk deliveries, replenish pick faces and fulfil customer orders. Apply independent QA controls, customer packing rules, secondary repacking and vehicle checks, with short-dated availability reporting for sales.

Explore wholesale workflows
Medicine identity, built in

Know the product. Check the pack.

Link medicine records to NHS dm+d / SNOMED CT identities and match GTIN scans to configured pack records. Review MHRA notices, identify affected batches and trace stock through locations, orders, customers and repacking descendants.

Explore the dm+d data service
  1. 01

    Scan

    Read the pack barcode during goods-in or picking.

  2. 02

    Match

    Resolve the product and pack against the configured catalogue.

  3. 03

    Record

    Record batch movements and flag mismatches for review. Catalogue matching supports identification; it does not certify a product’s authenticity or authorisation.

Explore the details

A closer look at the workflow.

Explore the controls behind each stage. Modules and permissions are configured for your pharmacy-chain or wholesale operation.

Supplier qualification, contracts & purchasing

Maintain supplier status, review dates and quality holds alongside contracts, documents and effective-dated product prices. Replenishment alerts and recommendations identify purchasing needs and assign follow-up. Pharmacy-chain purchasing follows requests, draft orders, approval, receiving and completion or closure; amendments retain the existing receipt history.

Flexible goods-in & supplier delivery files

Receive pack, case and pallet structures using configured supplier CSV / advance shipping notice (ASN) mappings. Stage and validate delivery information, investigate discrepancies and post accepted stock. Proprietary EDI connections require an agreed supplier mapping and commissioned connection.

Medicine identity & commodity codes

Use dm+d identities and configured GS1 / GTIN pack mappings to support medicine identification. Maintain commodity codes against stock codes with effective revisions, approval history and exports. Catalogue matching and commodity mapping remain separate checks.

FEFO, shelf life & pre-expiry blocks

Allocate and pick eligible stock by First Expiry First Out (FEFO). Batch, lot, location, holds and customer shelf-life requirements determine eligibility. Configurable pre-expiry cut-offs block stock before its expiry date; picking and dispatch recheck the current controls.

Independent QA holds & qualification status

Quality users can hold stock, suppliers and customers. Each decision records an owner, time, reason and release history. Warehouse and sales activity cannot override the hold. Traffic-light status is accompanied by written eligibility and exception details; routine reapproval does not silently remove a separate QA hold.

MHRA notices, recalls & downstream tracing

Review ingested MHRA notices and confirm affected products and batches. Confirmed recall controls block matching stock across the company’s warehouses and follow repacking descendants. Trace dispatched allocations and customer returns, record recall actions and reconcile outcomes. Notice ingestion and operational recall decisions remain distinct steps.

Bulk stock, pick faces & purchasing alerts

Set minimum and target levels for pick faces, then create replenishment tasks from eligible bulk stock. Scan source and destination identities, including partial moves. Purchasing alerts account for configured safety stock and incoming supply, with ownership and escalation; notification channels require setup.

Pick documents, pause / resume & timing

Generate pick documents from allocation or pick start, carrying the applicable customer instructions and revision. Operators can pause and resume assigned work, including next-day continuation; supervised handover records responsibility. Active and elapsed intervals support history-based estimates, while resumed work is checked against current stock and instructions.

Customer instructions & pallet standards

Keep approved, effective customer work instructions with the pick job and record operator acknowledgement. Apply pallet types and dimensions, including standard or Euro requirements, and single-product, single-batch or permitted mixed-content rules. Check actual contents during packing, shipment and loading.

Mobile scanning & session security

Scan the location and individual stock identity in mixed-product areas, with product, batch and quantity checks. Supported queued offline scans require server reconciliation before acceptance. A configurable inactivity policy defaults to 30 minutes and can be shorter; background polling does not count as operator activity.

Regional stores, transfers & point-of-use stock

For pharmacy chains, manage stores through warehouse, region and store views. Ordering and delivery calendars use configured delivery days, while transfers connect request, approval, picking, dispatch and receipt. Backorders retain outstanding demand. Store and nurse scanning records stock consumption, not a replacement clinical prescribing or administration record.

Temperature monitoring & controlled drugs

Record manual readings and use supported, commissioned sensor connections where required. Review excursions, missing or stale readings and calibration status, with linked stock holds and follow-up. Controlled-drug workflows use designated permissions and accountable records. Wholesale controlled-drug handling covers sealed packs; opened-pack manufacture and controlled-drug repacking are outside that workflow.

Secondary repacking & materials reconciliation

Plan one-to-one secondary repacking with intact primary packs. Link specification revisions, externally approved artwork and instructions, packaging lots, line clearance, deviations and reconciliation to each job. Independently release finished stock and retain source-to-output genealogy. Local serial records do not perform repository-connected serialisation or decommissioning.

Returns, quarantine & destruction evidence

Trace returned stock to its original supply and keep quality assessment separate from saleable availability. Use the applicable workflow for rejection, waste or disposal, retaining quantities, reasons and supporting evidence. Repacking destruction records include contractor or facility and certificate references, with independent verification before the relevant stock depletion is posted.

Routes, delivery windows & vehicle capacity

Sequence delivery stops using supplied and verified travel times and configured delivery windows. Assess usable volume, payload, pallet positions and temperature suitability, with loading checks and reverse-stop loading support. This is planning support, not live-traffic navigation or a three-dimensional load solver; the physical load still needs review.

Short-dated stock & operational reporting

Give sales a customer-filtered view of eligible short-dated stock. Configure the reporting horizon, scheduled CSV output and recipients, with delivery reconciliation through configured notification channels. Stock, movement and exception records support warehouse investigations; chain views add regional demand and replenishment reporting.

Invoice exports & accounting dimensions

Review supplier invoices against purchase orders and receipts, approve them and retain export history. Carry nominal codes, cost centres and VAT mappings into the configured finance format. Sage 50 and Sage 200 invoice exports, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central integration options, are scoped to the selected deployment. Confirm the customer’s mappings and test the target import before live posting.

Administration, audit & validation evidence

Designated administrators manage users and company, site and activity permissions, with separate quality and repacking authorities. Audit records retain user, time, action, reason and changes, with protected history and hash-linked exports. IQ/OQ/PQ protocols support recorded execution, observations, deviations, retests and sign-off. The installed system still requires customer validation, restricted database administration, backups and retention controls.
