PharmaChain: A Smart Framework for Drug Inventory and Supply Flow

Abstract: The Drug Inventory and Supply Chain Tracking System is a comprehensive solution designed to streamline the management of pharmaceutical products across the supply chain. From manufacturers to end-users, this system ensures real-time visibility, traceability, and control over drug inventory, minimizing the risks of stockouts, overstocking, counterfeiting, and inefficiencies. Utilizing modern technologies such as barcode/RFID scanning, cloud-based databases, and data analytics, the system allows stakeholders to monitor inventory levels, track shipments, and forecast demand with high accuracy. Additionally, the implementation of secure authentication and transaction logging enhances the transparency and reliability of the supply chain, ensuring that only authorized and genuine products reach consumers. This system not only improves operational efficiency but also plays a critical role in public health by ensuring the timely availability of safe and effective medications.
