💊 Healthcare ERP · Pharmacy and inventory

The right medicine, in date and in stock, for every patient

Dispense against e-prescriptions with allergy and interaction checks, pick the batch that expires first and reorder before shelves run out. Batches, expiry, cold chain and Schedule H1, X and NDPS registers are tracked from the goods-receipt scan to the patient's bill.

Expiry

Pick the batch that expires first, not the one that came first

Three batches of ceftriaxone 1 g injection, one of them short-dated. Switch between FIFO and FEFO and change the daily use to see what expires on the shelf. Example batches.

Reordering

Reorder before the shelf runs out, not after

Enter how much you use, how much it varies and how long the supplier takes. The chart shows stock falling, the order going out at the reorder point and the delivery landing on the safety stock.

Service level

Reorder point = average use × lead time + safety stock. Safety stock = z × day-to-day variation × √lead time, where z comes from the service level.

ABC-VED analysis

Spend your attention where money and patient risk meet

ABC ranks items by spend, VED by how critical they are. Hover or tap a cell to see how it is controlled. The bars come from a study of 421 items in an Indian teaching hospital's pharmacy (Devnani and others, 2010).

Prescription safety

Catch the risky combination before it leaves the counter

Pick the medicines on a prescription. The system checks allergies, interactions, duplicates and doses, and draws a line between the medicines that clash. Examples only; the live system uses a licensed drug database.

    FAQ

    Pharmacy and inventory questions

    Answers for pharmacists, store managers and hospital owners.

    What does pharmacy and inventory management cover in a hospital ERP?

    Dispensing to OPD patients and wards, purchase orders and goods receipt, batches and expiry, reorder levels, transfers between stores, returns, registers for scheduled drugs and links to patient billing, all on one stock record.

    How does FEFO work?

    First expiry, first out: when stock is issued, the system picks the batch that expires soonest rather than the one that arrived first, and warns about batches nearing expiry so they can be used, moved or returned in time.

    How are reorder points worked out?

    Reorder point = average daily use × supplier lead time + safety stock. Safety stock = z × the day-to-day variation in use × √lead time, where z depends on the service level you want, for example 1.65 for 95%.

    What is ABC-VED analysis?

    ABC ranks items by spend and VED by how critical they are: vital, essential or desirable. Combining them puts every item into category I, II or III, so the tightest control goes where money and patient risk are highest. In one Indian teaching hospital's study, category I held 22% of items but 74% of drug spending.

    Does it keep Schedule H1, Schedule X and NDPS registers?

    Yes. Schedule H1 sales go into a separate register of patient, prescriber, drug and quantity, kept for three years; copies of Schedule X prescriptions are kept for two years; and NDPS stock is reconciled in its own registers. The system fills these from each sale.

    Can it read the QR codes on medicine packs?

    Yes. Under Schedule H2, the top 300 brands have carried QR codes since 1 August 2023, and in June 2026 the government notified an extension to vaccines, antimicrobials, NDPS drugs and anti-cancer drugs. Scanning the code fills in the batch, dates and manufacturer and helps spot fakes.

    Does it check prescriptions for interactions and allergies?

    Yes. Using a licensed drug database, it checks allergies, interactions, duplicate drugs and doses when a prescription is written and again at dispensing, and records any override with a reason.

    How are GST and drug prices handled?

    Each item carries its HSN code and GST rate; since the September 2025 GST changes most medicines are taxed at 5% and some life-saving drugs at nil. The system also stops sales above the MRP or the NPPA ceiling price for scheduled formulations.

    How long does implementation take?

    Usually 6 to 10 weeks, depending on the number of stores, items and supplier integrations. This is an estimate.
