medical store software built for a neighbourhood chemist counter
The shop at the corner sells by the strip, keeps a khata for the families around it and buys on credit from two or three local distributors. RetailDek fits that shop — quick counter billing, stock you can believe, monthly party accounts and GST records that hold up.
Challenges in medical shops
The everyday problems this trade knows too well.
Customers ask for four tablets, not a box
A carton, a strip and a loose count are three different things at the counter. When only the carton exists in your records, the shelf and the register stop agreeing inside a week.
The same salt under six brand names
A regular asks for something cheaper that does the same job. Finding the alternative means reading the rack from memory while three people wait behind him.
Khata regulars who settle on the 5th
Nearby families and clinics take medicines through the month and pay later. A diary of ₹60 and ₹140 entries is easy to start and painful to add up.
Strips that quietly reach their date
Slow-moving lines drift to the back of the rack until the distributor refuses the return. Nobody notices, because nothing on paper is counting down.
How RetailDek fits
The real features that solve the way medical shops actually work.
Each pack size is its own item
Keep the box, the strip and the bottle as separate items with their own barcode, rate and price, so billing four strips takes exactly four strips out of stock.
Search by name, offer the alternative
Type a few letters on the counter screen to pull every matching item, so a cheaper brand of the same medicine is one search away instead of one rack away.
Khata that adds itself up
Every regular is a party with a running ledger. Bills go on account through the month and the outstanding figure is already on screen when the family comes to settle.
Credit purchases from local distributors
Enter the distributor bill once — stock replenishes, input tax is captured per line and the amount payable posts to that supplier's ledger. One entry, not three registers.
Nil and 5% medicines split correctly
Each item holds its own HSN code and GST rate, so nil-rated and 5% medicines sit beside 18% general goods on one bill with the CGST/SGST split and round-off already done.
A day in the shop
How a typical day flows with RetailDek.
Load the rack
Import your item list from Excel with HSN codes, rates and pack sizes, then print barcode labels for the shelves and the loose-strip trays.
Bill or put on khata
Scan the pack or search the name, take cash or UPI, or bill on account against a regular's ledger. Stock deducts the moment the bill saves.
Close the drawer, read the rack
Close the shift with counted cash checked against sales, then use reports to see what has not moved in ninety days and what each khata still owes.
