Pharmacy Management Software Development

The selling of controlled drugs is regulated by the government and pharmacies are required to enter the name of the patient getting it and the doctor prescribing it. Our custom software allows that functionality by default.

These is a mobile and/or web-based app that allows you to control all aspects of your pharmaceutical business. You can use it to manage logistics, order products, and keep track of inventory. Such systems also connect to the WMS of suppliers and manufacturers of medicines or preventive medicines, giving managers access to the catalog for purchasing.

Such apps are often developed in two versions: for internal use and a customer resource. On the latter, it is possible to place pre-orders for medications and delivery. Also, navigate to the nearest point of sale and provide electronic prescriptions for certain categories of drugs.

This type of software implements cross-platform and interoperability to ensure maximum UX quality and coverage of many target audience categories.

A typical digital product for pharma companies should be user-friendly, secure, and interoperable. This requires a multi-level authorization system with access to different functionality by account type.

For administrators:

• inventory control;
• accounting tools;
• planning system;
• synchronization with the WMS provider for purchasing;
• personnel and assortment management.

For managers and pharmacists:

• monitoring of product availability in stock and at other outlets;
• access to the description, composition of the drug;
• the control system for the type of sale: by prescription or free;
• planning procurement of missing drugs;
• information about discounts, bonus offers.

For customers:

• navigator to display the route to the nearest pharmacy;
• descriptions of drugs and their specifics, prices;
• availability of medicines at the outlets;
• information about new arrivals;
• notifications about promotions.

You also need to ensure the security of user data and, if necessary, synchronization with the EHR for quick access to electronic prescriptions.

As a rule, such digital solutions are ordered by local and global pharmacy chains. They help organize all types of processes: from sales and procurement planning to logistics by 3PL contractors.

On the customer side, these apps work as a guide to the assortment and availability of drugs in pharmacies in the city, district, or country. They also give access to remote purchasing with addressable delivery or pickup options.

Overall, pharmacy business management systems are beneficial to anyone who wants to manage their business more efficiently by providing convenient access to software features.

Sure, once we’ve figured out the specification for your future pharmacy software, any common feature can be added including the mentioned one.

As with other types of development, project costs vary depending on various factors: scale, complexity, timing, functionality, technology stack, target platforms, integrations, and team size. Licensing, implementation of Smart On FHIR and GDPR/HIPAA standards, cooperation model with the project executor, and its internal price list should also be considered.

The cost of working on such a digital product ranges from $10,000 to $100,000 per MVP. The delivery time is also situational and can last either 3-5 months or more than 12 months, depending on the scale of the project, team size, technical stack, and budget.

The company has worked in the healthcare industry for over 12 years. The market has changed dramatically during this time, and so have we.
