What medical store owners need from billing software

A pharmacy has unique requirements that generic billing software ignores:

  • **Batch and expiry tracking** — critical for compliance and avoiding expired stock
  • **Schedule H/H1 drug records** — controlled substances need special handling
  • **Medicine-specific HSN codes** — typically 3004 for most formulations
  • **High SKU count** — a typical pharmacy carries 2,000–5,000 SKUs
  • **Fast search** — a customer asking for "Crocin" should auto-suggest all variants instantly
  • OwnStore for pharmacies — key features

    Batch tracking with expiry alerts

    Every stock entry can have a batch number and expiry date. OwnStore alerts you 30 days before expiry so you can return stock to the distributor or discount it.

    8,000+ medicines pre-loaded

    When you sign up as a pharmacy, OwnStore pre-loads 253,000+ medicine names from the national drug database for autocomplete. Type "Para" → instantly see Paracetamol 500mg, Paracetamol 650mg, Crocin, Combiflam, and 30+ variants.

    GST on medicines

    Most medicines fall under 5% GST (HSN 3004). OwnStore auto-applies the correct rate when you set up your products with HSN codes.

    Purchase orders to distributors

    Create purchase orders for your distributors (Stockist, C&F). When goods arrive, mark as received — stock auto-updates and the purchase is recorded for GST input credit.

    Patient management (clinic-linked pharmacies)

    If you're attached to a clinic, manage prescriptions and patient records in the same app.

    Compliance tips for Indian pharmacies

  • Keep a **register of controlled substances** (Schedule H, H1, X) — OwnStore supports custom fields for prescription details
  • **GSTIN on invoice** for B2B sales to hospitals and clinics
  • **Batch number on invoice** — required for traceability
  • File **GSTR-1 monthly** for all B2B sales
