Pharmacy Billing Software for Medical Shops and Chains

We build pharmacy billing software for medical shops, hospital pharmacies and small pharmacy chains. It bills by batch, warns about near-expiry and expired stock, keeps the Schedule H and H1 details your drug licence asks for, records the doctor and prescription, prints GST bills and tracks what goes back to suppliers.

Two fields. No obligation, no spam.

A pharmacy counter is busy and exact at the same time. The pharmacist needs to find a medicine by brand or composition in seconds, pick the batch that expires first, and still record the prescription for scheduled drugs. We usually start from the billing, stock and GST engine in OverseePOS, our own point-of-sale product, which already tracks batch, MRP and expiry, and shape it around your store.

The pharmacist and licence holder remain responsible for dispensing and record-keeping rules. The software makes the right records easy to keep and quick to produce when an inspector asks.

Who it's for

Who Pharmacy Billing is for

Independent medical shops

Single-counter chemists moving from an old desktop package or a generic billing app that does not understand batches, expiry or scheduled drugs.

Pharmacy chains

Chains with several stores that want central purchasing, stock transfers, one item master and store-wise sales and expiry reports.

Hospital and clinic pharmacies

In-house pharmacies that bill against doctor prescriptions and in-patient numbers and may need to link with clinic or hospital software.

Pharma distributors

Stockists supplying retailers on credit, with batch-wise invoices, schemes, returns and expiry claims from retailers.

What you get

Features we build

Batch, MRP and expiry

Purchase entry by batch with MRP, rate and expiry date. At billing, the software picks the batch that expires first unless the pharmacist chooses another, and blocks expired batches from being sold.

Near-expiry alerts and supplier returns

Lists of stock expiring in the next 30, 60 or 90 days, expired stock set aside, and return or expiry-claim notes to each supplier with the value tracked until it is settled.

Schedule H and H1 register

Mark scheduled drugs in the item master. When one is billed, the software asks for the patient, prescriber and quantity details and keeps a register you can print or export by date range.

Doctor and prescription records

Doctor names and registration numbers saved once and picked on the bill, prescription images attached where you want them, and repeat bills for regular customers in a few taps.

Search by brand or composition

Find medicines by brand name, composition or manufacturer, see alternatives with the same composition in stock, and check rack location before walking to the shelf.

GST bills and exports

HSN codes and GST rates stored per item, MRP-inclusive billing with the tax split shown, credit notes for returns, and GSTR-1 and purchase exports for your CA or Tally.

Purchases and reorders

Purchase entry from supplier bills, reorder levels by item, shortage lists at day end, supplier-wise outstanding and purchase history by batch.

Customer reminders

Refill reminders on WhatsApp for customers on regular medicines, with their consent recorded, and home delivery orders tracked from the counter.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does pharmacy billing software cost?

A single medical shop on our billing base usually costs ₹25,000 to ₹90,000. Pharmacy chains and distributors are usually ₹90,000 to ₹2.5 lakh, and fully custom systems start around ₹2.5 lakh. Printers and scanners are extra.

Does it handle batch and expiry?

Yes. Every purchase is entered by batch with MRP and expiry. Billing picks the earliest-expiring batch by default, expired batches cannot be sold, and near-expiry lists help you return stock to suppliers in time.

Can it keep the Schedule H1 register?

Yes. Items are marked as Schedule H, H1 or other categories you use. When a marked item is billed, the software asks for the details your licence requires, such as patient, prescriber and quantity, and keeps a register you can print or export. Your pharmacist confirms which details and how long records must be kept.

Can staff search by composition?

Yes. Medicines can be searched by brand, composition or manufacturer, and the screen shows other brands with the same composition that are in stock, with their batches and rack locations.

How are supplier returns and expiry claims tracked?

Expired or near-expiry stock is moved to a returns list, and the software prepares a return or claim note for each supplier. The value stays open against the supplier until the credit note arrives, so nothing is forgotten.

Is the billing GST compliant?

Bills show HSN codes and the GST split for each item, and credit notes handle returns. Month-end exports are ready for your CA for GSTR-1, or for Tally. GST rates on medicines are set per item, and your CA confirms the rates.

Can you import my current item master?

In most cases, yes. We import items, compositions, suppliers, customers and opening stock by batch from Excel or your old software's exports, and check totals after the import.

Who owns the software and the data?

Your data is always yours and can be exported at any time. Fully custom builds come with the complete source code. When we build on OverseePOS, the licence terms for your version are agreed in writing before work starts.
