Effective stock management is vital for any pharmacy to prevent shortages, track expiry dates, and ensure medications are always available for patients. The Stock Management section in DrPro is your central hub for controlling your entire inventory.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Navigate to the Stock Management Section
From the main sidebar on the left, click on Pharmacy and then select Stock. This will open your main inventory dashboard.
Step 2: Understand Your Stock Dashboard
The dashboard provides an immediate overview of your inventory status:
- Summary Cards: At the top, you’ll find a quick summary:
- Current Stock: The total number of unique items available.
- Running Low: Items that have reached their pre-defined alert level.
- Out of Stock: Items that are completely unavailable.

Step 3: Add a New Item to Your Inventory
To add a new medication or product to your stock for the first time:
- Click the Add New Item button in the top-right corner.
- An “Add New Item” pop-up will appear. Fill in the following details:

- Quantity: Enter the total number of units you are adding to your stock.
- Alert stock: Set the minimum quantity threshold. When the stock level drops to this number, the item will appear in the “Running Low” category.
