Prescription, batch and parcel on one order.
Orders arrive from three channels. Pharmacists check each prescription image, packers scan the batch and expiry of every pack, and a courier collects the parcel against a manifest before the cut-off. The online pharmacy product keeps the prescription image, the pharmacist’s decision per line, the batch packed and the parcel status on one order, and it sets refill reminders.
An online pharmacy has no counter. The prescription arrives as a photo, the pharmacist checks it on a screen, and the medicine leaves in a parcel the patient never sees being packed.
That distance puts weight on the record. Each order must show who checked which line, which batch was picked for it, which courier took the parcel, and where the parcel is now.
Orders pile up overnight from the website, the app and one or two marketplace listings, and a support agent sorts them by whether a prescription is needed. The agent asks for a clearer image when a dose, a hypertension tablet strength or a contraceptive pill pack cannot be read, then queues it for the pharmacist.
The pharmacist accepts, queries or rejects every line and approves a substitution when a brand is missing, whether a syrup, an inhaler or a box of ampoules. Packers work from pick lists by shelf. They scan the batch and expiry of each pack, seal cold boxes for insulin or vaccines with tamper-evident tape, and hand parcels to the courier against a manifest.
Later, parcels fail delivery, patients ask where an order is, and refunds are requested, while the courier returns undeliverable parcels to the bay. Buyers raise orders with wholesalers. The owner watches rejected prescriptions, near-expiry stock, suspected fraud on cash-on-delivery orders and the monthly repeat customers whose thyroid or hypertension supply is ending.

Read the case studyQuestions online pharmacies ask before they call.
Do we keep our own storefront?
Yes. The storefront or app keeps taking baskets. The pharmacy system receives each order and runs the prescription check, the picking, the manifest and the dispatch behind it, while the storefront stays yours.
Who decides which medicines need a prescription?
Your responsible pharmacist and your regulator do. Each rule, such as prescription-only lines or quantity limits, is written in with your pharmacist present and then checked against every basket at checkout.
Can a recalled batch be traced?
Yes. Because packs are scanned at packing, a batch number lists every parcel and patient it reached, even when the withdrawal covers only one syrup lot. Notifying those patients remains the pharmacy’s decision.
Does it work with marketplaces and couriers?
Yes, where a marketplace or courier offers a connection or a file, with the channels you sell on and the method for each listed in the written scope.
What happens after I share my requirements?
An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.
How much will the software cost?
We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
