01
EVERY BRAND, A DIFFERENT BARCODE
Each pharma client printed barcodes differently — some linear, most 2D DataMatrix or QR codes encoding lot, expiry and item code in proprietary formats. No two clients scanned the same way.

THE PROBLEM
CHALLENGES THAT
HELD THEM BACK
02
HALF A DAY LOST TO SETUP
Audit teams spent 3-4 hours per engagement mapping barcode formats into spreadsheets before counting could even begin.
03
MANUAL PER-CLIENT REPORTING
Reports were assembled by hand for each client, slowing turnaround and risking transcription errors in a compliance-critical industry.
04
SCALING MEANT HIRING
Onboarding a new client took two weeks, and growing the client base required proportionally more auditors — capping how fast the firm could grow.
THE SOLUTION
HOW STOCKOUNT
SOLVED IT
Stockount was configured with each pharma client as its own item group and each GCC country as its own branch — with configurable barcode parsing set up per client.
IMPLEMENTATION PROCESS
The configurable barcode parsing feature was set up once per client, letting auditors scan either the raw barcode value or the configured parse value — whichever the package presents. Auditors now arrive at a site, open the app, and start counting in minutes instead of spending half a day on barcode mapping.
CLIENT AS ITEM GROUP
Each pharma client configured as its own item group with fully segregated data.
COUNTRY AS BRANCH
Each GCC country set up as its own branch for clean regional reporting.
CONFIGURABLE BARCODE PARSING
Parsing rules defined per client — scan the raw barcode OR the configured value, whichever the package presents.
SCAN-AND-GO COUNTING
Auditors arrive at a site, open the app, and start counting in minutes.
AUTO-GENERATED REPORTS
Client reports generate automatically — no manual assembly, no transcription risk.
GMP-GRADE AUDIT TRAIL
Every scan timestamped, attributed and immutable — built for regulator inspection.
WHAT CHANGED
THE RESULTS
Stockount turned barcode chaos into a configure-once workflow — letting Gulf Audit Solutions scale its client base fourfold without growing its team.
4×
15 TO 60+ CLIENTS
The pharma client base quadrupled with no additional headcount.
SETUP IN MINUTES
Barcode configuration per new client dropped from 4 hours to 15 minutes.
3X FASTER ON THE FLOOR
Auditor count throughput tripled — configurable parsing eliminated manual entry per scan.
SIX-COUNTRY OPERATION
Operating across UAE, KSA, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait as separate branches.
ZERO AUDIT FINDINGS
No GMP audit-trail findings raised in subsequent regulator inspections of clients.
SAME TEAM, 4X SCALE
The team that once served 15 clients now serves 60+ without growing.
CLIENT FEEDBACK
“
Pharma audits are not like other audits. Each brand prints its barcodes differently — some scan as one field, most are 2D DataMatrix or QR encoding lot, expiry and item code in different formats. We used to spend half a day mapping barcodes before every new client engagement. Stockount's configurable barcode parsing changed that completely. We configure once, our auditors scan in seconds, and every client's data stays separate in their own item group. We've grown from auditing 15 pharma clients to over 60 — same team size.
