Pharmacy software for medicine shops in Bangladesh

In a pharmacy, "we have 40 boxes of paracetamol" is not enough information. Which batch, and when does it expire?

With the Pharmacy shop type, batch and expiry are required. When a delivery comes in, you enter the batch number and expiry date on each purchase line. The stock then sits batch by batch, so you always know how much of each batch is left. See batch and expiry tracking.

When two batches of the same medicine are on the shelf, the one that expires sooner should go first. Posify24 uses first-expiring-first-out (FEFO) picking: the sale takes stock from the batch with the nearest expiry date, so newer stock waits its turn.

The near-expiry report shows what is coming close to its date. That gives you time to push it, move it to another branch, or return it to the supplier. When something does expire, record it as wastage so it leaves your stock and your stock value.

Medicines arrive by the box and often leave by the strip. Set how many pieces are in a box for a product, and the POS shows stock as boxes plus loose pieces. At the counter, scan or search the medicine, enter the quantity, and bill it. Several payments on one sale are fine: part cash, part bKash. Print an 80 mm receipt.

A pharmacy buys from many companies and depots, often on credit. In Posify24 every supplier has a payable balance. Purchase orders, goods received and purchase returns all update stock and the supplier's balance, so you know what you owe each company. More in purchase management.

The purchase return is how short-dated or damaged stock goes back to the supplier. It reduces stock and the amount you owe in one step.

Many pharmacies give credit to regular patients, clinics or a local doctor's chamber. Posify24 keeps each customer's due and credit limit; a sale that would cross the limit is refused. The invoice shows the previous due, and the due ledger shows who owes what and for how long.
