Where stock goes missing
Medicines dispensed but not recorded straight away. Ward stock that nobody counts. Items that quietly expire at the back of a shelf. Several stores in one hospital that can’t see each other’s numbers. Each gap is small. Together, they make the system unreliable at the exact moment it’s needed

The essentials, done well: appointments, simple patient records, prescriptions, billing and reminders. Something that runs in the cloud and on a phone, with no server in the back room. Quick to set up, easy to learn in an afternoon, and priced to grow with the clinic.
