Common Business Challenges We Solve

Expired medicines on the shelf

Selling expired medicines is a criminal offence under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act. ASTech ERP's FEFO (First Expiry, First Out) billing ensures older batches are billed before newer ones, and expiry alerts prevent expired stock from remaining on the shelf.

Batch number tracking for drug recall compliance

When a drug recall is issued, pharmacies must identify affected batches quickly. ASTech ERP's batch tracking shows exactly which batches were purchased and sold, allowing rapid response to drug recall notices.

Managing 5,000+ SKUs across multiple distributors

A typical pharmacy stocks medicines from 20+ distributors across 5,000+ SKUs. Managing purchase prices, distributor schemes, and credit terms manually is unmanageable. The system tracks all of this per distributor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does batch tracking work in ASTech ERP?+
Each batch of medicines received from a distributor is entered with batch number, manufacturing date, and expiry date. When billing a customer, the system shows available batches in FEFO order. The batch used is recorded on the sale invoice for traceability.
Can I search medicines by salt composition?+
Yes. The product master supports both brand name and generic salt composition. Pharmacists can search by either name to find available brands, compare prices, and substitute with generics if the prescribed brand is out of stock.
How are Schedule H and H1 drugs controlled in the system?+
Products flagged as Schedule H or H1 require a valid prescription before sale. ASTech ERP prompts for prescription details (doctor name, registration number) when billing Schedule H drugs and maintains a prescription register.
Is ASTech ERP suitable for Kolkata's Burrabazar wholesale traders?+
Yes. The wholesale billing module handles bulk invoicing, credit management, and trade scheme tracking — all essential for Burrabazar's high-volume trading environment.
How does ASTech ERP handle West Bengal Professional Tax?+
West Bengal Professional Tax is deducted from salaries and filed quarterly. ASTech ERP's payroll module computes and records PT deductions based on current WB tax slabs.
