# iPothecary for Operations

Multi-location inventory management for ophthalmology and optometry practices.

## The problem

A group operating multiple office locations cannot manage inventory the way a single office does. Spreadsheets don't show you what's on the shelf at a location you're not in. Email chains don't produce an audit trail. When a recall is announced, finding out which offices are affected requires calling each one.

## What iPothecary provides

### Organization-wide inventory visibility
Every location's on-hand quantity for every product, visible in one view. No waiting for offices to report in.

### Location-level receiving
Each office receives shipments through a structured workflow — vendor, product, lot number, expiration date, quantity. The receiving record becomes the foundation for lot traceability and recall matching.

### Inter-office transfers
Products move between locations through a documented transfer workflow. The sending location's inventory decrements; the receiving location's increments. Both sides have a record.

### Lot-level recall response
When a recall is announced, iPothecary matches the affected lot numbers against inventory across all locations. Operations teams see which offices have affected stock without contacting each office individually.

### Product catalog management
Products are defined once at the platform level and distributed to locations. A change to a product record applies everywhere.

### Multi-location reporting
On-hand quantities, receiving history, transfer history, and recall response documentation are available across all locations through the central operations view.

## Sample recall response workflow

1. FDA announces a recall
2. iPothecary matches affected lot numbers against on-hand inventory
3. Affected locations are identified automatically
4. Staff at each affected location place the inventory on hold
5. Response is documented for the record

Time from recall announcement to affected-inventory identification: seconds, not days.
