Track Every Batch from Supplier to Patient

Track batch numbers, suppliers, and stock movements for complete traceability.

The Challenge

Why batch-blind dispensing is a safety risk

  • Cannot trace which patient received medicine from a recalled batch.
  • FIFO/FEFO not enforced — older stock sits while newer stock dispenses first.
  • Supplier batch numbers recorded on paper, lost within weeks.
The Solution

Batch-level tracking with FIFO dispensing

Record batch numbers, manufacturing dates, and expiry for every stock entry. Opdio enforces FIFO dispensing and lets you trace any batch to every patient who received it — critical for recalls and regulatory compliance.
