Overview

Arthrosmed is a specialized medical supply and pharmaceutical business operating with complex inventory, multi-branch operations, and high transaction volume. To support their growth and operational accuracy, they required a fully integrated system to manage purchasing, sales, inventory, and financial accounting in one unified platform.

iSystems delivered a custom-built management system tailored specifically to their workflow, enabling full control over operations, finances, and reporting.


The Challenge

Before implementing the system, Arthrosmed faced several operational complexities:

  • Managing inventory across warehouses with batch tracking and expiry dates
  • Handling high-volume purchasing and sales transactions with accuracy
  • Lack of a centralized system connecting inventory with financial accounting
  • Difficulty tracking returns, losses, and stock movements
  • Manual or fragmented reporting limiting decision-making visibility
  • Multi-currency operations requiring consistent and accurate tracking

The Solution

iSystems developed a comprehensive ERP-style management system covering all core business operations:

1. End-to-End Inventory & Transactions Management

  • Full purchasing and sales workflows with barcode support
  • Batch tracking using FIFO (First-In-First-Out)
  • Expiry date tracking and product-level control
  • Support for gifts, discounts, and dynamic pricing
  • Complete handling of:
    • Purchase & Sales
    • Purchase Returns & Sales Returns

This ensured accurate inventory movement and minimized stock discrepancies

This enabled data-driven decision making across the business
