Expiry Date and Lot Tracking for Veterinary Clinics
Make vaccines, medicines, diagnostic products, pet-care items, and clinic supplies with expiry dates easier to identify. SimSim helps your team record each expiry date and lot or batch number, then alerts you before items expire.
Use the SimSim app on a phone or a tablet. Use it alone or with your team—everyone sees the same up-to-date inventory. Get started for free—no credit card required.
A simple veterinary expiry-tracking workflow
Follow these steps when receiving stock, adding a new product, or checking the products already in your clinic.
Scan the barcode or photograph the product
Scan the barcode first. SimSim searches more than 500 million local and international product records. If it cannot identify the item, take a clear product photo so SimSim can add its name and details automatically, or enter them manually once. After the item is saved, SimSim can recognize it on future scans, so you should not need to enter it again.
Capture expiry and lot information
Point the camera at the printed label so AI can read the expiry date and lot or batch number. Keep separate records when the same product has different dates, lots, or quantities.
A practical clinic inventory routine
Decide who updates the inventory and when, so records stay current without unnecessary work.
At every delivery
- Scan or photograph each new product.
- Save its quantity, storage location, expiry date, and lot or batch number.
- Create a separate record when the same product arrives with a different date or lot.
During a weekly expiry review
- Compare the SimSim list with the physical stock.
- Prioritize products with the nearest upcoming expiry dates for appropriate use.
- Plan any return, transfer, or other permitted action early enough to complete it.
Whenever stock changes
- Update quantities after use, transfer, return, or disposal.
- Add any missing dates, lot numbers, or storage locations, and correct errors when you find them.
- Keep the shared record current so the next team member sees the same information.
SimSim helps organize inventory and reminders; it does not replace physical checks, veterinary practice-management systems, or compliance procedures. Follow your clinic procedures, product instructions, storage requirements, and applicable rules.
Questions from veterinary teams
Can SimSim read the expiry date and lot number from a label?
SimSim can use AI to capture printed expiry dates and lot or batch numbers. Image quality and label formats vary, so always compare every result with the physical product before saving or acting on it.
Can I save multiple batches of the same veterinary product?
Yes. Create separate item or batch records when the same product has a different expiry date, lot number, quantity, or storage location.
Does SimSim replace veterinary practice-management or compliance software?
No. SimSim focuses on convenient product expiry and inventory tracking. It does not replace clinical records, controlled-drug logs, recall systems, professional judgment, or regulatory processes.
