Pharmacy Management System
A custom pharmacy management solution designed to organize medicine inventory, stock, sales, billing, expiry information, and operational reporting.
Project Context & Objective
The Pharmacy Management System is a custom web-based platform designed to centralize pharmacy operations, including medicine inventory, batch and expiry tracking, point-of-sale billing, prescription management, supplier records, and business analytics. The system replaces fragmented manual workflows with a centralized platform that provides pharmacy staff with real-time operational visibility.
Operational Challenges
Pharmacies often rely on manual paper records or fragmented spreadsheets, making it difficult to maintain accurate stock levels, track expiration dates, process counter billing efficiently, and maintain reliable sales records.
How the System Was Built
We developed a custom pharmacy management platform using Python, Django, and PostgreSQL, designed around inventory control, sales processing, reporting, and role-based access control. The system provides real-time stock updates, batch expiry tracking, POS billing, and automated operational reporting.
Key System Capabilities
from django.db import models
import uuid
class Medicine(models.Model):
# Clean model structure for medicine inventory records
uuid = models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4, unique=True, editable=False, db_index=True)
name = models.CharField(max_length=255, db_index=True)
sku_code = models.CharField(max_length=50, unique=True, db_index=True)
batch_number = models.CharField(max_length=100, db_index=True)
expiry_date = models.DateField(db_index=True)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, db_index=True)
class Meta:
ordering = ['-expiry_date']
indexes = [
models.Index(fields=['uuid', 'expiry_date']),
models.Index(fields=['sku_code', 'expiry_date']),
]Operational Value
Medicine, inventory, sales, billing, and reporting workflows can be managed through one application.
Inventory records and low-stock indicators help users monitor medicine availability efficiently.
Expiry information helps users identify medicines that require attention before expiration.
Billing and reporting features provide organized records for day-to-day pharmacy operations.
