Pharma
Built for the counter, the batch and the inspector
A complete chemist and distributor edition — FEFO batch and expiry, salts and MRP, doctors and drug licences, dense counter billing, supplier claims and the statutory registers.
What Pharma does
Batch and expiry, properly
FEFO picking, near-expiry radar, godown-wise expiry and a breakage/expiry bucket held off the sellable shelf.
Salts and substitution
Molecule search, salt catalogue, same-salt alternatives at the counter and salt-wise gross profit.
The registers an inspector asks for
Schedule-H prescription, controlled-drug, antibiotic and disposal registers as real registers — searchable, date-ranged, totalled, uncapped.
Claims to the supplier
Breakage and expiry pushed back to the supplier with the claim raised and tracked to replacement.
AI capabilities
Pharma AI
ComputedExpiry rescue, scheme optimiser, refill radar, licence monitor and Schedule-H audit — deterministic and offline on Desktop.
Who uses it, and for what
- Chemist
Inspector asks for the Schedule-H register
Searchable, date-ranged and totalled registers pulled up while the inspector waits, not rebuilt from bill files
- Godown keeper
Fresh batch in, older batch still on shelf
FEFO picking so the earliest expiry sells first, with a near-expiry radar behind it
- Proprietor
Expired stock going back to the supplier
A breakage and expiry claim raised against the supplier and tracked to replacement, not a verbal promise
Industries that lean on it
Questions
Is Pharma AI actually AI?+
It is deterministic analytics — rules and computation over your batches and sales. It runs offline on Desktop and does not call a language model.
Is Pharma in both the Desktop and Cloud editions?+
Yes — Pharma ships in both the Desktop Suite and the Cloud Suite. The Desktop edition runs it against a local database on your own machine with the network unplugged; the Cloud edition runs it in the browser with roles, approvals and an audit trail over the same books. You choose the edition when you sign up, and the application is the same one either way.
What does Pharma actually include?+
Batch & expiry, salts, schedule registers and Pharma AI. In practice that means batch and expiry, properly, salts and substitution, the registers an inspector asks for and claims to the supplier — each of which is a working screen rather than a line on a roadmap. The full breakdown, with what every one of them does, is on this page above.
Does Pharma work with the rest of LekhaPro, or is it separate?+
It is not a separate product and there is nothing to integrate. Pharma reads and writes the same database as the ledger, stock and customer master, so a figure it shows is the figure the books hold — not a copy synced overnight, and not a number you have to reconcile against another screen before you trust it.
What else comes with Pharma?+
Pharma sits in the Industry group of the catalogue, alongside Real Estate, Distribution, Retail Chains, Logistics & Fleet and Construction and 7 more. They are separate applications with their own screens, not modules of each other — but they share one database, so what you enter in any of them is immediately real to the rest.
Does Pharma work offline?+
On the Desktop edition, yes — completely. Pharma runs against a database on your own machine, so it behaves identically with the network unplugged; only AI and billing reach out. On the Cloud edition it runs in the browser and needs a connection, with the POS till the one deliberate exception.
Which businesses is Pharma for?+
It is built for Pharmacy & Pharma Distribution and Clinics & Healthcare in particular, and it is not exclusive to them — Pharma is part of the horizontal suite, so any business on LekhaPro can switch it on. Those trades are named because their industry pages describe how Pharma is used in that specific line of work.
Can I control who sees Pharma?+
Yes. Access is by role rather than all-or-nothing, so a billing clerk can reach Pharma without reaching the books behind it, and an approver can see what needs a decision without editing anything else. On the Cloud edition every change also carries who made it and when.
Does Pharma cost extra?+
Pharma is part of the suite, not a paid add-on billed per use. What your plan tier decides is reach and depth — how many devices connect, multi-branch and multi-warehouse reporting, and whether the conversational AI copilots are switched on. The full accounting core is in every plan, including the entry tier.
Can I try Pharma before committing?+
Yes — 14 days, no card. The honest way to evaluate Pharma is with your own masters and your own transactions rather than sample data, because the questions that matter are about your business's edge cases, not ours. Nothing is deleted if you decide against it.
