Stop the Waste: Reagent Expiration Guide + Dashboard Tracker

Every small medical facility writes off expired stock, supplies, and consumables at some point. It gets treated as a cost of doing business — but it's usually not bad luck. It's a handful of habits repeating every month, quietly costing you real money by year end.
This isn't generic advice. It's a practical, no-fluff system built from real medical operations — the kind of fixes you can start using today, not "someday when we get new software."
What's included:
📄 The Guide (7 pages)
Why expiration loss actually happens (the 4 real causes, not textbook theory)
How to build a simple tracking system — no expensive software required
Ordering habits that stop overstock before it happens
What to do with at-risk stock instead of writing it off (discount, redistribute, donate, return)
A monthly audit checklist you can start using this week
📊 The Expiration Tracker Workbook (ready to use)
A live Dashboard tab with KPI cards, dollar-value-at-risk, and auto-updating charts (items by status, items by category)
Dropdown fields for Category, Unit, Storage Location, and Action Taken — no manual typing, no inconsistent entries
Color-coded status (red/yellow/green) so at-risk stock is impossible to miss
Automatic dollar-value calculations, so you can see exactly how much is at risk, not just how many items
Just add your inventory — takes one afternoon to set up, updates itself from there
Who this is for
Small and mid-sized medical facilities — labs, clinics, pharmacies, nursing units — and anyone managing medical stock or supplies without a dedicated inventory system, tired of watching good stock go in the trash.
Why it works
No new software to learn. No consultants to hire. Just visibility, ownership, and a fixed review schedule — the same principles that scale up into bigger systems later, if you ever need them.
