What does an OOS scan help identify?

An out-of-stock (OOS) scan plays a crucial role in inventory management by identifying items that need to be restocked. This process is essential for maintaining a well-stocked pharmacy, as it ensures that products are readily available for customers and minimizes potential loss of sales due to stockouts. By recognizing which items are low in quantity or completely out of stock, the pharmacy can take necessary actions to reorder and replenish these items, thereby supporting continuous service and fulfilling customer demand efficiently.

The focus of an OOS scan specifically targets inventory levels and availability, making it easier for pharmacy management to address restocking needs promptly. This helps optimize inventory turnover and avoid customer dissatisfaction caused by unavailability of essential medications or products.
