Business software for health and medical supplies

Health supplies carry regulation that most retail does not. Depending on what you sell there are rules about claims, storage, traceability and who you can sell to. Those obligations are costs, and they are costs that exist whether or not you sell anything.

Expiry dates make slow stock genuinely dangerous rather than merely annoying. Product that passes its date is a write off, not a discount opportunity, so the cost of overbuying is higher here than almost anywhere.

Demand is often urgent and non discretionary. People buy because they need it, which makes availability more important than price. Running out is worse than being a little expensive, which changes how you should think about reorder points.
