Why Traceability Matters in Pharmacy
Every drug on your shelf has a chain of custody — from manufacturer to distributor to your store. Being able to trace that chain is not just good practice; it is a regulatory requirement and a critical patient safety measure.
Batch History in Ovaloop
Ovaloop's Batch History feature records the supplier, purchase date, batch number, and expiry for every product received. Search any product and see exactly where it came from, when it arrived, and how much remains — in seconds.
"When NAFDAC issued a recall, I identified every affected batch and removed it from the shelf in under 10 minutes."
— Dr. Amaka I., Pharmacist
Handling Recalls
With Batch History, a product recall becomes a manageable event rather than a crisis. Filter by batch number, identify affected stock, and generate a report for your supplier — all from one screen. Your patients and your license stay protected.
