Daily business problems
Where manual records usually break down
- Different batches of the same medicine can have different expiry dates and available quantities.
- Products may be bought by box and sold by pack, strip or unit, increasing conversion errors.
- Sensitive stock adjustments and selling-price changes need stronger staff accountability.

Prepare the trial
Set up the test with accurate starting data
A useful trial should reproduce a real day in the business, not a demonstration catalogue that hides the difficult parts.
01
Catalogue and selling rules
List the products, base units, selling packs, current batches and expiry dates before importing or entering opening stock.
02
Opening stock and suppliers
Use a recent stock count and current supplier balances. Avoid importing estimated quantities that will immediately weaken the reports.
03
Customers and pricing
Separate ordinary retail buyers from wholesale or trade customers and confirm the prices that apply to each group.
04
Staff access and closing reports
Create separate staff users, assign only the required permissions and agree on the reports used to close or hand over each day.
Fit boundary
FortyPOS covers commercial sales, inventory, batches, expiry, permissions and reports. It is not presented as a prescription, patient, insurance-claim or clinical records system. Confirm current eTIMS and payment-integration availability separately.
