From Prescriptions to Stock: Smarter Pharmacy Management
"

Moyo Care provides alerts for expiring medicines, low stock, overstock situations, and unusual stock movements, supporting early action and better stock control.

Pharmacy operations sit at the center of healthcare delivery. Medicines must be available when prescribed, dispensed accurately, billed correctly, and accounted for financially. When pharmacy systems are disconnected from clinical care and billing, facilities face stock-outs, expired medicines, revenue leakage, and claim disputes.

Moyo Care connects prescribing, dispensing, inventory, and billing into one continuous pharmacy workflow.


Prescriptions Flow Directly to the Pharmacy

Once a clinician prescribes medication during a consultation, the prescription is immediately available in the pharmacy. There is no need for paper scripts or re-entry of information. Pharmacists see exactly what was prescribed, for which patient, and under which scheme or payment method.

This reduces dispensing errors, speeds up service, and ensures medicines dispensed match the clinical record.


Inventory Managed in Real Time

Beyond visibility and alerts, Moyo Care supports the full range of day-to-day inventory actions required in a working pharmacy. Pharmacy teams can receive new stock, record batch numbers and expiry dates, adjust stock for returns, damages, or corrections, and manage inventory by brand or generic medicines. Stock can also be transferred between stores or locations where applicable, with every action logged for accountability.

Every medicine dispensed or received automatically updates stock levels. Pharmacy teams have align real-time visibility of:

  • Available stock
  • Low-stock (understock) items
  • Overstocked items
  • Batch numbers and expiry dates

Moyo Care provides alerts for expiring medicines, low stock, overstock situations, and unusual stock movements, helping facilities to:

  • Reduce losses from expired drugs
  • Prevent stock-outs that disrupt care
  • Detect sudden or abnormal stock drops early
  • Plan procurement based on actual usage, not estimates

Structured Ordering Between Suppliers, Bulk Stores, and Service Delivery Points

In addition to day-to-day inventory management, Moyo Care supports structured and auditable ordering workflows across the supply chain, both externally with suppliers and internally within a facility.

Ordering Between Supplier and Facility

Pharmacy and procurement teams can generate purchase orders directly from system intelligence rather than guesswork. Orders can be initiated based on:

  • Low-stock alerts
  • Consumption trends
  • Minimum and maximum stock thresholds
  • Upcoming expiry patterns

Each order captures item details, quantities, supplier information, expected delivery dates, and pricing. Once approved, the order becomes a reference point for stock receipt. When medicines are delivered, pharmacists simply receive against the order, confirming quantities, batch numbers, and expiry dates. This ensures that what was ordered, what was delivered, and what was stocked are fully aligned.

This structured process improves supplier accountability, simplifies reconciliation, and provides a clear audit trail from order to shelf.


Internal Ordering Between Service Delivery Points and Pharmacy Bulk Store

Within hospitals and larger facilities, Moyo Care supports internal ordering between service delivery points such as wards, clinics, theatres, or outpatient pharmacies and the central pharmacy or pharmacy bulk store.

Service delivery points can raise internal requisitions based on their stock levels and usage needs. The bulk store reviews, approves, and issues stock against these requests. Every internal transfer is logged, showing:

  • Requesting unit or ward
  • Issuing store
  • Items and quantities issued
  • Batch numbers and expiry dates
  • Date, time, and responsible staff

This ensures full traceability of medicines from the bulk store down to the point of use, reducing losses, preventing informal stock movement, and improving accountability across departments.


End-to-End Visibility and Control

Because internal and external ordering is integrated with inventory, dispensing, and billing, facilities gain a single, continuous view of medicine movement. Managers can clearly see:

  • What has been ordered and is pending delivery
  • What has been received and issued internally
  • Where stock is held across the facility
  • Variances between requested, issued, and consumed quantities

This end-to-end approach strengthens supply reliability, improves planning, and ensures medicines are available where and when they are needed, without excess or wastage.


Billing Integrated at the Point of Dispensing

Pharmacy billing is generated directly from the medicines dispensed. There is no separate billing step or reconciliation later. Whether a patient is paying cash or using a scheme, charges reflect exactly what was issued.

For insured patients, the system automatically applies scheme pricing and benefit rules. Where co-payments apply, these are clearly identified at the pharmacy, removing uncertainty for both staff and patients.


Claims and Financial Accuracy

Because dispensing, inventory, and billing are linked, pharmacy items included in claims are clinically justified, correctly priced, and consistent with scheme rules. This reduces rejected claims caused by pricing errors, unauthorized medicines, or missing documentation.


Built for Real-World Use

Moyo Care’s pharmacy module runs on the same mobile-first platform as the rest of the system. Pharmacists can dispense using tablets or computers already available, without the need for complex infrastructure. The same connected pharmacy workflows also extend to standalone and retail pharmacies.
