Nepal's Pharmacies Face Three Simultaneous Pressure Points. Most Software Solves Only One.

DDA-based public listings show 5,753 registered pharmacies in Kathmandu alone, with pharmacies operating across all districts. Retail, hospital, and wholesale pharmacies all need more than basic billing: they need stock accuracy, batch/expiry control, tax-ready invoices, and inspection-ready records.

Hospital pharmacies have an extra gap: prescriptions, IPD medication, ward stock, and billing must connect with the hospital system. Generic pharmacy software usually treats a hospital pharmacy like a retail shop, which is not how clinical dispensing works.

Purba Tech Labs builds custom pharmacy systems around Nepal-specific compliance, CBMS-ready e-billing architecture, DDA records, eSewa/Khalti POS, hospital HMS integration, and one-time ownership.

IRD e-billing and CBMS readiness gaps
Expiry discovered too late
Batch records unavailable during inspection
Narcotic register handwritten
Manual stock count consumes staff time
Supplier invoices entered twice
Hospital prescription not linked to dispensing
Stockouts discovered when customers ask

A hospital pharmacy is not a retail shop. It is a clinical department connected to prescriptions, wards, billing, and patient safety.

Distributor Analytics & Business Intelligence

IRD & DDA Compliance - Built Into the System, Not Bolted On

Nepal's pharmacies face compliance requirements from tax and drug regulators. The system is designed to keep records during normal operation, not as a last-minute manual task.

IRD E-Billing with CBMS Integration

Nepal's Inland Revenue Department uses the Central Billing Monitoring System (CBMS) to monitor billing data for taxpayers in scope. Our pharmacy system is designed around IRD-format invoices, VAT category handling, CBMS-ready integration, and server inside Nepal planning for cloud e-billing deployments.

DDA Compliance Under Drug Act 2035

The Department of Drug Administration regulates pharmacy operations under the Drug Act 2035. The system maintains stock, batch, expiry, controlled drug, and dispensing records during normal operations so inspection reports are not a separate manual exercise.

Batch Tracking & DDA Drug Recall Response

When a manufacturer or regulator issues a recall, batch search identifies current stock, movement history, and sale records quickly. This supports patient safety and DDA inspection readiness.

Digital Narcotic Register & Schedule H Compliance

Controlled medicine workflows can require prescription entry before dispensing and capture patient, doctor, quantity, staff, and transaction details in a digital register.

Frequently Asked Questions - Pharmacy Software Nepal

How much does pharmacy software cost in Nepal?

Pharmacy management software in Nepal costs between NPR 80,000 and NPR 5,00,000+ depending on pharmacy type and features. A single retail pharmacy starts at NPR 80,000-1,50,000. A 2-5 branch chain costs NPR 1,50,000-3,00,000. A hospital pharmacy integrated with HMS costs NPR 1,50,000-4,00,000. Wholesale distributor systems cost NPR 2,00,000-5,00,000. These are one-time implementation costs, not monthly SaaS fees.

Does your pharmacy software integrate with Nepal's IRD e-billing and CBMS system?

Yes. IRD e-billing with Central Billing Monitoring System (CBMS) integration can be implemented as a core module. Sales generate IRD-format tax invoices, VAT is handled for taxable versus exempt categories, and cloud deployments are planned with server inside Nepal infrastructure to meet server-location expectations for e-billing systems.

Does your system handle DDA compliance and pharmacy inspections?

Yes. The system maintains digital stock registers, batch/lot records, expiry tracking, narcotic and psychotropic drug registers, and Schedule H dispensing logs as part of normal operations. Inspection packages can be generated from the dashboard.

What is batch tracking and why does a pharmacy in Nepal need it?

Batch tracking records the batch number, manufacturing date, expiry date, supplier, purchase quantity, current balance, and sales linked to that batch. It supports DDA inspection readiness, accurate expiry management, and quick response if DDA or a manufacturer issues a drug recall.

Can your system track narcotic and Schedule H drugs?

Yes. The POS can enforce prescription entry for controlled medicines and maintain a digital register with patient details, prescription number, prescribing doctor, quantity, and dispensing staff ID.

Can you integrate the hospital pharmacy with our existing hospital management system?

It depends on your existing HMS. If it has an API, we can integrate prescriptions and billing data. If not, we can assess bridge options. If HMS and pharmacy are implemented together, we build them as one unified system.

Does your pharmacy software support eSewa and Khalti?

Yes. eSewa and Khalti payments can be accepted at the counter or through the customer/patient app, and payment mode summaries reconcile cash, digital payments, and credit sales.

Can I manage multiple pharmacy branches from one system?

Yes. Branch plans support a centralized medicine master, branch-wise inventory and billing, inter-branch stock transfers, centralized purchase management, and consolidated reporting.

Does your pharmacy software work for wholesale pharmaceutical distributors?

Yes. Wholesale systems support manufacturer purchases, B2B tax invoices, credit management, multi-warehouse inventory, batch traceability, drug recall workflows, delivery orders, and sales rep reporting.

What is FEFO and does your system enforce it?

FEFO means First Expiry First Out. When one medicine has multiple batches, the system defaults to dispensing the earliest-expiry batch first. This reduces expiry loss and supports DDA inspection expectations.

What happens when IRD changes e-billing requirements?

IRD and CBMS requirements can change over time. AMC covers required updates to invoice formats, sync requirements, reporting changes, and compliance-related bug fixes.
