What is pharmacy POS software?
Pharmacy POS software runs a medical store's counter and back room: batch-wise medicine inventory with expiry dates, fast GST billing, prescription registers for scheduled drugs, supplier purchases, and reports. Unlike generic retail billing, it must understand batches, expiries and drug-schedule compliance — that is the whole difference.
What is FEFO and why does a pharmacy need it?
FEFO — first-expiry-first-out — means the batch expiring soonest is dispensed first. Without it, fresh stock sells while older batches quietly die on the shelf and become write-offs. Flocci Meds POS picks the FEFO batch automatically at billing, so the discipline needs no memory.
How does expiry tracking actually save money?
Expired stock is margin you already paid for, thrown away. An expiry radar lists batches approaching their date months ahead, so you can push them first, return them to the supplier while return windows are open, or plan write-offs. Flocci's dashboard makes near-expiry a daily glance, not an annual shock.
What are Schedule H, H1 and X registers?
Indian drug rules require pharmacies to keep dispense registers for scheduled drugs — recording patient, prescriber and quantity for Schedule H1 (and stricter rules for X). Keeping them on paper means a second, error-prone writing step. Flocci Meds POS fills the register entry at billing time, producing an audit-ready digital register.
How does GST billing work for a medical store?
Medicines carry GST at slab rates, and invoices must show GSTIN, HSN and tax breakup. Flocci Meds POS produces GST-compliant invoices at counter speed and shares them as mobile-friendly links — a bill forwarded on WhatsApp opens cleanly instead of as a blurry photo of a printout.
Where does AI genuinely help at a pharmacy counter?
Two places: safety and substitution. Flocci's AI flags potential drug interactions in the basket at billing time, and suggests generic substitutes when a prescribed brand is unavailable or the customer asks for a cheaper equivalent — a double-check, not a replacement for the pharmacist's judgment.
What should pharmacy software cost in India?
Legacy desktop products are sold as licences (public 2026 listings put Marg's entry licence at ₹8,100 one-time plus renewals and support), and cloud products as yearly subscriptions (eVitalRx lists ₹7,500–₹50,000 per year). Flocci Meds POS is credit-based: no licence, no fixed monthly fee — top up Flocci credits and pay for what you use, after a free 14-day demo.
