Question 1

What is pharmacy management software?

Accepted Answer

Pharmacy management software digitises the day-to-day running of a medical store, chemist shop, or hospital pharmacy — billing and point-of-sale, drug and consumable inventory, batch and expiry tracking, supplier and purchase management, and GST invoicing. It replaces manual registers and standalone billing machines with one system that tracks every sale against live stock so the store knows what it has, what is expiring, and what to reorder.

Question 2

Does Lifemaan work for a standalone medical store, or only inside a hospital?

Accepted Answer

Both. Lifemaan offers pharmacy software as a standalone product for independent chemists and medical stores — POS billing, GST invoices, stock and expiry alerts, supplier purchase, and daily sales reports. The same platform also runs as a hospital-linked pharmacy module that pulls OPD and IPD prescriptions automatically, posts charges to the patient bill, and handles ward indents. You can run it purely as a retail store, or connected to a hospital's clinical workflow.

Question 3

How much does pharmacy software cost?

Accepted Answer

Lifemaan's pharmacy software is quote-based — the price depends on your store size and the modules you need. There is a free trial so you can evaluate it on your own billing before committing. We give you an exact quote on a short demo call; we do not publish a one-size figure because every store's needs are different.

Question 4

Does the pharmacy software handle GST billing and expiry/stock alerts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lifemaan generates GST-compliant invoices at the counter and tracks stock in real time, batch-wise, with expiry and low-stock alerts so you sell near-expiry stock first and reorder before you run out. Purchase, supplier, and sales-return management are part of the same module, and daily sales and stock reports are available on mobile, tablet, or computer.

Question 5

Can the hospital pharmacy link to doctor prescriptions automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When Lifemaan runs as a hospital-linked pharmacy, OPD and IPD prescriptions flow into the pharmacy automatically, so what is dispensed reconciles against what doctors ordered. Charges post to the patient's bill, and wards can raise indents from the central store. This removes manual re-entry between the consulting room and the pharmacy counter.

Question 6

Is it cloud-based, and is it easy for counter staff to use?

Accepted Answer

Lifemaan's pharmacy software is cloud-based, so you can access billing, stock, and reports from a mobile, tablet, or computer — there is no server to maintain. It is built for a retail medical store or chemist shop and for a hospital's in-house pharmacy. If you can use WhatsApp, your counter staff can use Lifemaan.
