RxInventory puts your whole pharmacy in your pocket — stock, sales, and expiry across every branch, updated live. RUN YOUR PHARMACY LIVE See today's sales, what needs attention, and recent activity the moment you open the app. Switch between branches with one tap; every screen follows the branch you choose. SELL IN SECONDS A fast point of sale built for a busy counter. Search or scan a product, build the basket, take cash, done. Stock is drawn down oldest-batch-first automatically, so your inventory stays honest. NEVER RUN OUT — OR OVERSTOCK Out-of-stock, low-stock, and soon-to-expire items are flagged on the dashboard and in one filtered tap. Add stock with batch numbers (scan the barcode), manufacturing and expiry dates. KNOW WHAT SELLS Sales, inventory, and fast-selling reports — scoped to the branch you're standing in, for the last 7, 30, or 90 days. Open any sale to see the full receipt: items, discounts, totals, and who rang it up. MANAGE YOUR CATALOGUE Products with brand and generic names, categories, dosage forms, and unit conversions (stock / dispense / purchase). Keep measuring units and dosage forms tidy from the app. MADE FOR YOUR TEAM Invite branch staff, see who's on the account, and gate reports by role. Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode. MAKE IT YOURS Light or dark, a choice of accent colours and surface themes, and a quick-add button you can drag wherever it suits your hand. PRIVACY BY DESIGN RxInventory shows live data from your pharmacy's own server. Nothing but your sign-in session is stored on the device — sign out and it's gone. Requires an RxInventory account. New pharmacies can register a company and owner right from the app.
