PILLS STOCK
Smarter medicine purchasing, built for pharmacy.
Pills Stock helps your team compare supplier routes and judge when buying ahead is worth it — turning everyday purchasing into informed, confident decisions.
THE REALITY
Purchasing is more than the price on screen.
Medicine purchasing balances price, supply route, demand and shelf life. When those live in different places, good decisions get harder.
Comparing routes means switching tools
Checking supplier options can mean jumping between ordering systems and multiple websites.
A low price isn’t always a saving
A cheaper price today only helps if the stock can actually be used before it expires.
Demand and dating change the maths
Seasonal medicines, short-dated stock and shifting demand all make the decision harder.
THE SOLUTION
Two decisions, one calm workspace.
Pills Stock brings structure to the two purchasing choices that shape your margins.
Cascade ordering
Explore alternative supply routes for an order and compare cost, delivery and availability — not just a single price.

See delivery and availability at a glance
Pick the best value with confidence
Forward buying
Weigh the value of buying ahead against holding stock — across one, three and six-month horizons, with expiry and cash in view.

Account for carrying cost and expiry risk
