Keep track of products with expiry dates and get an early visual reminder when stock needs to be prioritised for sale.
Savetime Calculator POS allows you to set expiry dates and reminder dates for products with limited shelf life. When the reminder date arrives, the relevant stock quantity is highlighted in red, drawing your attention to stock that should be sold before newer stock.
The product has not expired when the quantity turns red. The colour is an early warning to help you act before the actual expiry date.
When managing products that have an expiry date, you can record the date on which the stock is expected to expire.
This gives you a way to keep expiry information together with your product and stock records instead of relying entirely on memory or separate notes.
You don’t have to wait until a product is close to its actual expiry date before taking action.
Savetime Calculator POS allows you to set a reminder date before the expiry date.
For example, suppose a product will expire three months from now. You can set a reminder for an earlier date so that you have enough time to prioritise that stock for sale.
This distinction is important.
When the reminder date is reached, the product’s quantity figure changes to red.
This does not mean the product has expired.
It means the reminder period has been reached and the stock deserves your attention.
The purpose is to help you notice the stock early enough to take action while the products are still within their usable period.
Expiry-date reminders are particularly useful when the same product is received at different times.
For example, imagine you already have stock that is approaching its expiry date and then receive a new batch of the same product.
Without paying attention to the dates, you could sell the newer stock first and leave the older stock sitting in your inventory.
The reminder helps you identify the stock that should be brought to the forefront and prioritised for sale.
This supports a practical first-to-expire, first-to-sell approach.
Unsold expired stock can result in unnecessary business losses.
By setting reminder dates in advance, you can identify products that need attention while there is still time to sell them.
The feature therefore helps turn expiry management from something you remember at the last minute into something you can plan for.
Expiry-date management can be particularly useful for businesses selling products such as:
Any business that needs to pay attention to product expiry can benefit from having an early reminder built into its stock management process.
Managing expiry dates manually can make it easy to overlook stock that is approaching its expiry period.
With Savetime Calculator POS, you can:
Expiry-date management adds another layer of control to inventory management, helping you pay attention not only to how much stock you have, but also to which stock needs to be sold first.
