Next.js
Pharmacies juggle fragmented inventory management, leading to stockouts of critical medications, expired stock waste, and inefficient point-of-sale operations. Staff often duplicate data entry across separate systems for inventory, billing, and customer management.
Inventory with Batch Tracking
Track medicines by batch number and expiry date. Receive automated alerts for approaching expiry. FIFO picking algorithm automatically selects the batch closest to expiry at sale time.
Integrated Point of Sale
Barcode-based billing with instant product lookup. Auto-calculates totals, taxes, and discounts. Prints formatted receipts with medicine details and dosage instructions.
Sales Analytics
Daily, weekly, and monthly sales reports with filters by product, category, and cashier. Identify top-selling medicines, slow-moving stock, and peak hours.
Supplier Management
Digital purchase orders with automatic stock receipt. Track supplier performance, payment terms, and order history. Reorder suggestions based on sales velocity.

Tools & Services
A Next.js frontend communicates with a FastAPI Python backend through REST endpoints. PostgreSQL stores all transactional data with Prisma-like type safety through SQLModel. The architecture is designed for future offline capability with a sync engine for multi-location deployments.
Medicine names and barcodes are not standardized in local markets, causing lookup failures.
Implemented flexible barcode matching that normalizes input codes and supports multiple barcode formats per product. Pharmacies can print custom barcode labels.
Pharmacy staff need sub-second search across thousands of SKUs during busy hours.
PostgreSQL full-text search indexes on product names and categories reduced lookup time from 2 seconds to under 50ms.
