Pharmacy Software in Pakistan — DRAP Compliance, Batch Tracking & Salt Search Explained
What DRAP requires from pharmacies, how batch and expiry tracking eliminates losses, and why salt-based search matters more than you think.
Running a pharmacy in Pakistan means DRAP compliance, expiry risk, and customers asking for salts you must identify instantly. Here is how modern pharmacies handle all three.
DRAP requirements you cannot ignore
- Purchase and sales records for every medicine
- Batch-wise tracking with expiry dates
- Controlled substance registers for scheduled medicines
- Prescription records for prescription-only medicines
- Inspection-ready at any time
Batch and expiry tracking that pays for itself
Every purchase in Nafaa creates a batch record with expiry date. FIFO logic ensures oldest stock sells first. Automatic alerts at 90, 60, and 30 days before expiry let you return to distributors or discount-sell instead of writing off.
Pharmacies report expiry losses dropping to near zero — typically saving Rs 15,000-40,000 monthly.
Salt search: the feature customers notice
Customer asks for "Panadol" — out of stock. Salt search shows every medicine with paracetamol instantly: Calpol, Panodol, Febrol. You make the sale instead of losing it, and the customer learns you actually know medicines.
Prescription scanning for legal safety
Scan and attach prescriptions to sales of prescription-only medicines. If DRAP ever questions a sale, the prescription is one tap away.
