The brief
Medicine expires. The software has to know when.
A pharmacy sells the same medicine from many batches, each with its own expiry date and cost. Selling the wrong batch means expired stock and lost money. The software has to handle that on every sale.
- 01Every medicine has several batches, each with an expiry date, cost and price.
- 02The batch that expires first should be sold first, without the cashier thinking about it.
- 03Near-expiry stock must be spotted early, so it can be sold or returned in time.
- 04Medicines are sold by tablet, strip and box, so packaging units have to convert correctly.
- 05Clinics and medical stores buy on credit and need ledgers and aging, plus proper invoices with a warranty.
- 06It has to keep working at the counter when the internet is down.

FAQ
Questions about this project.
What is Novix Medicore?
Novix Medicore is our software for pharmacies and medicine distributors. It tracks batches and expiry dates, sells stock first-expiry-first-out (FEFO), and runs the retail counter, wholesale invoices, purchasing, ledgers and reports in one Windows desktop app.
What does FEFO mean?
First expiry, first out. When you sell a medicine, the software takes it from the batch that expires soonest. If that batch runs out, it moves on to the next one. This keeps expired stock, and the money lost on it, as low as possible.
Does it work for wholesale and retail?
Yes. It has a fast retail counter for walk-in customers and wholesale invoices for clinics and medical stores, with packaging units, bonus quantities, credit limits and printed A4 invoices.
Does it need the internet?
No. The data is kept in a local database on your own PC, with automatic backups, so the counter keeps working without internet.
Can I try it?
Yes. The live demo runs the same app in your browser with sample data from a made-up pharmacy. Nothing is sent to a server, and your changes are cleared when you close the tab or press Reset.
Can you set it up for my pharmacy?
Yes. We can set up Novix Medicore for your pharmacy or shape it around the way you work. Book a free 30-minute call and tell us what you need.
