Track expiration dates in 3 simple steps
The same clear workflow works for one person, a team, a shop, a warehouse, or a large household.
Add the product and expiration date
Scan the barcode, then scan or enter the printed expiration date. Create a separate batch when the same product has a different date or quantity.
How does SimSim App help? Scan with your phone or a Bluetooth scanner, then point the camera at the printed date. SimSim App identifies the product and enters the date. Add a new product once and the app remembers it next time.
Follow FEFO and act early
Place or pick the batch with the nearest valid expiration date first. Use, sell, transfer, discount, or donate it while there is still time.
How does SimSim App help? The priority view brings expired and near-expiry products together, while smart alerts give you time to act.
Keep inventory current
Record sales, use, transfers, donations, and disposals promptly. Categories and locations remain optional.
How does SimSim App help? Work alone or add team members with controlled permissions. Everyone uses the same current inventory.
