About CarePlus Pharmacy & Chemist
Situated near major medical clinics and corporate towers in Blue Area, Islamabad, CarePlus Pharmacy operates an intensive retail dispensary handling prescription medications, specialized temperature-sensitive biologics, baby care, and general OTC health products. The store serves over 650 patients daily with high turnover across generic and branded pharmaceutical lines.
The Operational Challenges
Untracked batch numbers caused expired medicine write-offs exceeding PKR 180,000 every quarter, while manual box-to-strip calculations slowed counter checkout during peak evening clinic hours.
The Hulm POS Solution
Deployed Hulm POS with pharmaceutical batch and expiry tracking (FEFO: First Expired, First Out), dual box-and-strip fractional unit pricing, fast salt/generic lookup, and direct FBR API invoicing.
Step-by-Step Implementation
Catalog Audit & Batch Onboarding
Imported and cleaned 6,500+ pharmaceutical and OTC items with manufacturer names, dosage forms, batch numbers, and expiry dates into Hulm POS.
Fractional Unit & Barcode Setup
Configured parent-child packaging ratios (Boxes, Blister Strips, Loose Ampoules) with automated price division and fractional inventory calculations.
Expiry Alert Thresholds & FBR Setup
Established 30-60-90 day expiry return warning queues and linked the terminal to FBR PRAL tax servers with medical tax exemption rules.
Pharmacist & Dispenser Workflow Training
Trained 6 registered pharmacists and sales dispensers on rapid salt-name searches, batch selection at POS, and customer prescription attachment.
“In pharmacy retail, selling an expired medicine is not just a financial loss—it's a patient safety hazard. Hulm POS alerts us 60 days before any medicine expires, allowing us to return it to the distributor for full credit. It paid for itself in the first two months.”
The Long-Term Impact
CarePlus Pharmacy established a gold-standard dispensary workflow combining clinical accuracy with retail checkout speed. By automating batch expiry control, fractional packaging sales, and FBR tax receipts, CarePlus reduced stock write-offs and earned patient trust across Islamabad.
