A Result Paper on Medical Shop Stock Management System

Abstract

The Medical Shop Stock Management System is a secure, user-friendly, and offline-first mobile application developed to simplify and automate the daily operations of medical shops and pharmacies. In many small and medium medical stores, stock management and billing are still performed manually, which often leads to issues such as incorrect stock records, difficulty in tracking expiry dates, medicine wastage, and billing errors. The proposed system provides a complete digital solution by integrating features such as batch-wise inventory management, automated billing, barcode-based medicine entry, low-stock alerts, and near-expiry notifications. One of the key features of the system is the implementation of the FEFO (First Expire First Out) algorithm, which ensures that medicines with the nearest expiry dates are sold first, thereby reducing wastage and preventing the sale of expired medicines. The application is developed using the Flutter framework for cross-platform compatibility and uses SQLCipher-encrypted SQLite database to ensure data security and privacy. It also includes patient refill reminder functionality to improve medication adherence for long-term treatments. The system follows an offline-first approach, allowing it to function without continuous internet connectivity, making it suitable for rural and low-network areas. Overall, the system improves efficiency, reduces manual errors, enhances data security, and provides a reliable solution for modern pharmacy management.
