Identity
Manufacturer, identifiers, package information, and product category.
Product intelligence
More than a name and a price.
Healthcare products carry identity, sourcing, operational, safety, and practice-specific context that ordinary retail catalogs were never designed to manage. iPothecary keeps that information connected to the product itself.

Received inventory context
Structured product context
Give the product a real operational identity.
Clinical, inventory, finance, compliance, and practice leadership teams may need different information. They can still reference the same structured product record.

The record carries more than a SKU.

Vendor relationships and the context behind how practices obtain products.
Safety
Product documents, lot and expiration information, and recall context.
Availability
Location-aware inventory and practice-controlled retail visibility.
Product vs inventory
Product identity is not the inventory record.
A product describes what an item is. Receiving adds physical context such as lot, expiration, quantity, and location. One product can support many receiving events without losing traceability.

Product intelligence is not finance analytics
