Picture this. You open your store one morning, reach for a product on the shelf and realize it expired two weeks ago.
Now you can't sell it, you can't return it, the money you used to buy it is gone.
For many business owners, this happens more often than they would like to admit. Not because they are careless, but because there's already so much to keep track of: sales, customers, suppliers, staff, stock and so on. Tt's easy for expiry dates to slip through the cracks.
The good news is, they don't have to anymore.
Record the Expiry Date Once: When you are adding a product to COD POS, you can enter its expiry date. It only takes a few extra seconds, but it gives you something your notebook or memory can't, a system that keeps watch for you. Instead of trying to remember which carton of drinks expires next month or which skincare products have been sitting too long, the app keeps the information safely stored and reminds you a month before expiration.
Let the Stale Reminder Do the Remembering: One feature many business owners don't know about is the Stale Reminder
Here's how it works:
Let's say you have a product that expires in December. You don't have to wait until December before thinking about it. You can set a stale reminder for any date you choose. If that reminder date comes and the product is still sitting in your shop, COD POS will notify you.
That gives you enough time to:
Instead of discovering expired products after they have become a loss, you are getting a chance to sell them while they are still good.
Small Reminders Can Save Big Money: Imagine having ten products expire every few months. The loss may not seem huge at first, but add everything together over a year and you will realize you have thrown away money that could have gone back into your business.
Preventing losses is just as important as making more sales. Every product you save from expiring is money you don't have to replace.
There Are More Features Waiting for You
The expiry date tracker and stale reminder are just two of the many tools inside COD POS. From stock management and sales reports to customer records, debt tracking, and business insights, there's a lot to explore.The more you use the app, the more value you will get from it.
Don't Wait Until It's Too Late, expired products don't announce themselves. But with COD POS, you don't have to rely on memory or hope you will notice them in time, and stay one step ahead.
Your shelves stay fresher, and your business keeps more of the money it works so hard to earn.
