Manage batches and expiry dates with care

In a pharmacy, stock control is not only about money — it is about safety. Selling expired medicine is a serious risk, and unnoticed expiries are a direct loss. Duka POS lets you record batch numbers and expiry dates so you can manage stock responsibly and sell older batches first.

  • Track each batch from delivery to dispensing
  • See items approaching their expiry date in time to act
  • Reduce waste from medicine that expires unsold
  • Keep clear records of what was sold and when

This helps your chemist run cleanly, protect customers and cut avoidable losses.

Dispense faster and keep stock accurate

Pharmacies serve a steady flow of customers who expect quick, accurate service. Duka POS speeds up the counter with fast product search and barcode scanning, so your team spends less time searching and more time serving.

Every sale updates your inventory in real time. You always know what is on the shelf, what is running low, and what needs reordering, so essential medicines and supplies do not run out unexpectedly. Suppliers and purchase costs are recorded too, making it easy to reorder on time and at the right price.

Affordable and easy for chemists in the region

Duka POS is built to be affordable and simple for pharmacies and chemists across Tanzania, Kenya and East Africa. It runs on devices you may already own, handles cash, mobile money and card payments, and gives owners clear reports from anywhere in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza or Nairobi.

Always follow the regulations and record-keeping requirements that apply to pharmacies in your country. For general shop needs alongside your pharmacy, the same platform powers our POS system in Tanzania.

Clear records and honest tills

Accurate records protect a pharmacy in more ways than one. They keep your accounts straight, support responsible dispensing, and make it easy to show what was sold and when. Duka POS ties every sale to a staff member, so tills stay honest and any shortfall is easy to trace.

Owners can review sales, stock and profit from any device, even when they are away from the counter. This visibility helps you spot slow movers, manage cash, and keep the shelves stocked with the medicines and supplies your customers actually need.
