Batch & expiry are not optional
Good Distribution Practice (GDP) means every receipt and pick records a batch number and expiry date. A recall has to trace a supplier batch to every customer who received it — no paper chase.
One platform for the whole medicines supply chain — order capture, contract pricing, batch and FEFO in the warehouse, the cold-chain round and the ledger, audit-ready throughout.
Pharmaceutical, animal-health, food and FMCG — on the same platform.















The same problems show up across every pharma and medical-supplies distributor we talk to.
Good Distribution Practice (GDP) means every receipt and pick records a batch number and expiry date. A recall has to trace a supplier batch to every customer who received it — no paper chase.
Vaccines, biologics, insulins and refrigerated medicines need a continuous, auditable temperature record from depot to drop. Out-of-range readings have to flag the moment they happen, not at end of day.
Clinics, pharmacies and hospitals plan around a next-day commitment. A late drop, wrong batch or missing POD becomes a stocked-out shelf, a clinical delay and a service problem the same morning.
Hospitals pre-order on contracted prices; independent pharmacies want standing rounds; clinics need trial-pack consignment; care homes and veterinary accounts buy on credit. Most pharmaceutical distribution tools keep these apart, or bridge them with spreadsheets.
No second chances — batch locked, cold chain logged, recall chain query-ready.

Clinic rounds build themselves from standing orders and contracted hospital schedules — and telesales, WhatsApp, portal, counter and the van all write to one customer and stock.

Contracted hospital rates and customer pricelists evaluate on every order, while the live credit ledger checks limit and balance — so blocked accounts stop here, not at the clinic door.

Batch and expiry lock on every line at pick, nearest-expiry auto-selected — and the chain is recall-ready from supplier batch to every clinic, pharmacy or hospital affected.

The VRP engine sequences by capacity and time window with planner override, and the probe records from the moment the doors close — vaccines and insulins included.

Signature, photos, geo-fence and timestamp capture in one pass, the POD PDF emailed the instant it lands — and consignment is counted and replenished to par, invoiced only for units used.

Invoices, credit notes and payments post to AR/AP the moment they are raised — MTD VAT, multi-company and multi-currency handled in the ledger, or synced to your package.

One query traces a supplier batch to every affected customer from the back office, while forecasting feeds replenishment and expiry and out-of-range exceptions escalate on their own.

Before RouteMagic, Covetrus Ireland ran its delivery operation on paper run-sheets and manual data entry, with signed dockets coming back to the depot days after the goods were dropped. Every van now runs the RouteMagic driver app; routes are built in the Back-Office and tracked live on the Route Monitor; and at each stop the driver captures the electronic POD — signature, photos, geo-stamp — that the office sees the instant it lands.
The questions pharmaceutical distributors ask us most often during evaluation.
It runs order capture, contract pricing, batch and FEFO control in the warehouse, the cold-chain round, signed ePOD and the ledger on one platform for a medicines distributor. RouteMagic is pharma distribution software in this sense — not a pharmacy dispensing system or a manufacturing suite — so it covers the distributor day end to end rather than a single function.
Both are possible. RouteMagic works as pharmaceutical ERP software for medicines distributors and wholesalers — order management, inventory, batch traceability and accounting in one system — or it runs in front of an existing ERP and syncs to it. It covers pharmaceutical wholesale and distribution; it is not a community-pharmacy dispensing package.
Yes. As cold-chain monitoring software, RouteMagic has drivers record temperature readings from a paired Bluetooth probe at configurable intervals through the round. Out-of-range readings raise live alerts to dispatch, and an auditable temperature report is generated for inspectors — covering depot, loading and delivery legs. At each drop the app can require a delivery-point reading too (for example fridge-to-fridge delivery for medical consignments). The cold-chain round is sequenced by our route planning software by capacity and time window.
Batch-tracked products require a batch number and expiry on every receipt and pick. The system auto-selects the nearest-expiry batch — FEFO, first-expiry-first-out — and stores a full traceability chain, supplier batch through to every customer that received units of it. For a recall you query that chain end-to-end from the back office and identify every clinic, pharmacy or hospital affected. This batch, lot and expiry-date control is part of RouteMagic inventory management software, and underpins Good Distribution Practice (GDP) and Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) record-keeping.
Yes. Every delivery captures a customer signature, doorstep photos, a geo-fenced timestamp and an auto-generated POD PDF that emails to the customer immediately. POD records are searchable from the back office for disputes, audits and integration with downstream ERPs — replacing the paper-docket backlog entirely. See electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) for the full delivery-capture workflow.
The driver app is offline-first. Routes, customers, products, prices and promotions download at the start of the day; every transaction writes locally and queues; a background sync pushes everything back when signal returns, with conflict resolution and no data loss. Login and the final sync are the only steps that absolutely require connectivity.
Yes. Standing Orders auto-generate sale orders on a daily, weekly or monthly cadence for recurring pharmacy and clinic rounds — planners only touch exceptions. For trial packs and shelf-stocked items the Consignment Stock workflow places a fixed par-level at the clinic and invoices only the units actually consumed on each visit.
Yes. Order Management captures orders from telesales, WhatsApp and SMS, the customer self-service portal, the trade counter and the van — all writing to one customer master and one stock position, so contracted hospital rates, pricelists and credit apply the same way whatever the channel. Standing orders auto-generate the recurring pharmacy and clinic rounds on top.
Either. RouteMagic has a built-in accounting layer — sales and purchase ledger, nominal ledger, cashbook and bank reconciliation, MTD VAT, multi-company and multi-currency. If you prefer to keep your package, a configurable connector syncs invoices, credit notes, payments and customers to Sage 50, Xero, QuickBooks Online, Tally and Zoho Books, with field and tax mapping and its own sync log for audit.
