Key Features
Real-Time Stock Monitoring
Track inventory across multiple warehouses and plants.
Batch & Lot Traceability
Full visibility from procurement to dispatch and - Batch level deadline monitoring.
Expiry & Shelf-Life Tracking
Automated alerts for nearing expiry stock.
Digitized Tracing
Digital check list, Shipment tracking, Labels log
Regulatory Compliance
Meets GMP, GDP, and other pharma standards.
Multi-Level Approval Workflows
Ensure quality checks at each stage.
Material Reservation & Allocation
Reserve critical components for urgent batches.
Integration with MES & LIMS
Automatic consumption updates based on production and testing results.
Platform Specifics
QR/barcode/RFID labelling and scan workflow for every container/batch.
GRN checks, vendor approval workflows & COA attachment.
Quarantine/Release workflows (link to QC results).
FEFO/FIFO stock rotation and expiry alerts.
Cold-chain monitoring (temp/humidity sensors + alerts).
Automated pick/issue to production with interlocks (can't issue if not QA released).
Returns, recalls, and disposition workflows (with full genealogy).
Typical Workflow
Goods arrival → scan QR, create GRN → attach vendor COA and sampling request.
QC samples logged into LIMS and linked back to GRN; material placed in quarantine.
QC release updates Inventory to 'available'; MES can then issue material.
Warehouse manages picking by FEFO, and temperature records are attached to each movement for GMP audit.
Integrations & Compliance
Integrate with LIMS (COA/ROA), MES (issue), ERP (financial stock), and IoT sensors (cold chain).
Compliance: GMP warehouse rules, serialization/traceability (GS1), GDP for distribution.
AI in Action
PharmaCTRL's AI engine predicts stock depletion rates, alerts for potential expiry risks, and even suggests redistribution between plants to avoid wastage. Predictive analytics help balance safety stock levels with lean inventory goals.
