Keep track of your VBM inventory and preparation with automation and clear insights.
Managing VBM preparation shouldn't feel like a daily struggle. If you're tired of:
- Tracking bulk stock manually
- Checking expiry dates, batches, and suitable brands every time
- No idea of slow moving or not in use items
- Searching for out-of-stock items across shelves and keeping record on papers
- Ordering and pillpopping based on guess not on usage data
- Spending hours calculating usage trends from Bridge reports
- Manually checking MHRA recalls against your inventory
- Having no idea of upcoming photo changes for Pills
- Matching every item on the picking sheet one by one to see if pictures need updating
Then you'll love what PharmaShelf can do for your pharmacy.
Designed by an experienced VBM user, PharmaShelf gives you live stock feedback and complete control over your VBM workflow — all in one easy-to-use automated system.
Stay ahead of stock requirements, automate manual checks, reduce prep time, and eliminate guesswork. Let PharmaShelf handle the complexity so you can focus on accuracy, safety, and efficiency.
Designed around real VBM workflow, not generic stock control.
PharmaShelf focuses on the specific jobs your team does every day: Inventory management, pill-popping, MDA picking and prepration of batches for production, checking shortages, and staying on top of MHRA alerts.
See exactly what’s on your shelves and in your back-room stock — including batches, expiries, and locations — so you never lose money on medicines expiring on the shelf or going out of date before you have a chance to use them
PharmaShelf looks at your actual usage over a period you choose and suggests order quantities, helping you avoid both stockouts and over-ordering. Also tells you about the suitable brands for VBM.
Import your VBM pick list and get instant clarity — what’s in stock, where it’s stored, and which images need updating. Pharmashelf also predicts which items will fall short based on your batch preparation order, even if you technically still have stock, so you stay one step ahead in planning.
When new MHRA alerts appear, PharmaShelf checks against your inventory and flags any affected items, so you can act quickly and document what you did.
Pill-popping is one of the most important steps for patient safety, and Pharmashelf is designed to make it safer and more reliable. It provides smart, data-driven suggestions based on real usage, keeps a complete audit trail of every popped medication, and supports second-person verification to reduce errors. The system also monitors expiry dates and remaining quantities in each pot, helping staff manage medications confidently and consistently while maintaining high standards of care.
Smart dashboards highlight what needs attention today, and comprehensive reports reveal longer-term patterns to improve safety, reduce waste, and strengthen your workflow
across stock, batches, expiries, and photo updates.
