Why pharmacies need special software
Most cheap billing software only counts how many boxes you have. A pharmacy needs to know which batch each box came from and when it expires. Without that, expired stock sits on shelves, and you only find out when a customer complains.
Must-have features
- Batch and expiry tracking on every stock entry.
- FEFO selling (first expiry, first out): the system picks the batch that expires soonest.
- Expiry alerts for stock that will expire soon, so you can return or discount it in time.
- Block expired stock from being sold by mistake.
- Fast barcode billing for busy counters.
- Returns and refunds linked to the original sale.
- Branch-wise stock if you run more than one store.
Nice to have
- An online store or WhatsApp ordering on the same stock.
- Staff accounts with permissions, so a cashier cannot change prices.
- Batch history for recalls and audits.
- CSV import, so you do not type thousands of items by hand.
Questions to ask any software company
- Can I see a live demo with expiry tracking working?
- Does the POS automatically sell the soonest-expiring batch?
- What happens to stock when a customer returns a medicine?
- Can I export my data if I leave?
- What is the monthly cost per branch, and are there hidden fees?
How Dukanverse handles it
Dukanverse records a lot number and expiry date on every stock entry, sells the soonest-expiring lot first, flags "expiring soon" stock and can block expired stock from sale, at the counter and online. Plans start from Rs. 3,000 per month per location. See Dukanverse for pharmacies or try the live expiry demo.
Frequently asked questions
What is FEFO in a pharmacy?
FEFO means first expiry, first out. When you sell an item, the stock that expires soonest is used first, so less medicine expires on the shelf.
Can pharmacy POS software stop expired medicine being sold?
Good pharmacy software can. Dukanverse can block expired stock from sale so it cannot be billed by mistake.
How much does pharmacy POS software cost in Pakistan?
Prices vary a lot. Dukanverse plans start from Rs. 3,000 per month per location, with batch and expiry tracking included.
