AI inventory control for pharmacies: availability, expiry and FEFO

Specialised algorithms for chronic medication, expiry management and synchronised availability across many branches.

FEFO, expiry and availability across a pharmacy chain

FEFO (First Expired, First Out) is the rule that forces you to sell first what expires first. In a pharmacy with thousands of references and different lots per branch, applying it by hand is impossible: the expiry risk is discovered when the product can no longer be sold. On the other side is availability: a chronic-care medicine that is missing is a patient not served and a prescription that walks to the competition.

Celes forecasts the demand of every medicine at every branch, predicts expiry risk by lot and location, and decides replenishment and transfers so the product rotates before it expires and is where it will be needed. Cruz Verde reduced its total inventory by 22% and Fybeca secures availability across more than 1,100 points of sale in Ecuador with this approach.

Frequently asked questions

How does Celes handle medication with expiry dates?

Our deep-learning algorithms predict expiry risk by SKU and location, automating rotation decisions based on FEFO.

Does it work for chains with many branches?

Yes. Celes manages inventory centrally but generates replenishment for each branch according to its consumption profile.

Does it handle prescription and over-the-counter products?

Yes. The models adapt to different demand patterns: continuous prescription, seasonal and impulse over-the-counter.

How does it ensure availability of critical medication?

Chronic and critical medication gets specialised predictive models with higher safety thresholds to guarantee availability.
