Solution · Inventory & Expiry

Know your stock — and know what expires next

Stock you can't see is money you can't manage. Zapeera tracks every batch from the supplier's invoice to the customer's bag, with expiry dates watched the whole way.

The problem: the notebook always lies a little

A stock register that's updated "later" is wrong by the evening. Expiry dates live on the boxes, not in any system — so near-expiry stock is discovered when it's already a write-off, and "do we have it?" is answered by walking to the shelf.

In Zapeera, stock arrives through purchases — with or without a batch number — and every batch carries its quantity, cost and expiry date. Selling, refunds and adjustments all move the same numbers, so what's on screen is what's on the shelf. When a batch gets close to expiry, it's flagged while there's still time to sell it, return it or discount it.

How batch & expiry tracking works

What the inventory solution includes

  • Batch-wise stock with quantity, cost and expiry per batch
  • Near-expiry flags and an advanced expiry report
  • Low-stock visibility before you run out mid-sale
  • Purchases recorded against suppliers, stock updates itself
  • Full stock-movement history — every unit accounted for
  • FEFO selling so soonest-expiring stock moves first

Every movement leaves a trail

When stock disagrees with the shelf, the question is always "where did it go?" Zapeera's movement history answers it: purchases in, sales out, refunds back, adjustments recorded — each with its date and context. Shrinkage stops being a mystery and becomes a number you can act on.

Because batch costs are recorded at purchase, the same data quietly powers your profit reports — no separate costing exercise at month-end.
