Stawi Biz

A pharmacy system that knows which batch expires first.

Every medicine is stocked by batch with its expiry date, so the counter sells the oldest first and you hear about a batch months before it expires. Prescriptions, patient history, the controlled-medicines register and NHIF claim records live in the same system as the till.

Built around the batch, because that is where a pharmacy loses money.

Batches and expiry dates

Stock each medicine by batch. The till sells the earliest expiry first, and you are warned before a batch reaches its date.

Dispense by unit

Sell a strip, a tablet or a bottle from the same pack, with the price for each. Stock drops by the exact unit.

Prescriptions and patients

Record the prescription, the doctor and the patient. Each patient's history and allergies are one tap away at the counter.

Controlled-medicines register

Every dispensing of a controlled medicine is logged with who, to whom and how much — an internal register you can print.

NHIF claim records

Prepare a claim per member, keep its status — prepared, submitted, paid — and see what is outstanding. Submission itself stays with the pharmacy and its insurer arrangement.

Cold-chain records

Mark temperature-sensitive medicines and log storage checks, so there is a record if a question is asked.

The records a pharmacy is asked for, already kept.

A pharmacy keeps more records than a shop: claims by member, a register of controlled medicines, storage checks, who dispensed what. Stawi Biz keeps them as part of the sale, so they exist without a second book. They are internal records — they support your own compliance work and do not imply approval from a regulator or an insurer.

  • NHIF claims by status. What is prepared, what is submitted, what is paid, and the total outstanding this month.
  • Controlled register, automatic. Dispense a controlled medicine at the till and the register line is written at the same time.
  • Printable. Any of these prints or exports to PDF for an inspection or an insurer query.

What is pharmacy management software?

Pharmacy management software keeps the records a pharmacy runs on in one system: every medicine with its batches, expiry dates, stock and price; every sale and dispensing; prescriptions and patient history; and the insurer claims that follow. Instead of a stock book, an expiry list and a claims file kept separately, each sale updates stock, batch balances and reports at once.

Stawi Biz is pharmacy management software built for Tanzanian pharmacies and chemists. It tracks medicines by batch and expiry and alerts you before a batch expires, keeps a controlled-medicines register and cold-chain records, manages prescriptions and patient profiles with allergies, and keeps NHIF claim records and statuses. These are internal operational records: they do not certify a pharmacy, replace professional judgement, or imply regulator or insurer approval.

Who is it for?

  • Retail pharmacies and chemists — sell and dispense with batch and expiry tracking, and see fast-moving medicines and margins by category.
  • Pharmacies serving NHIF members — prepare and track claim records and statuses.
  • Owners with more than one branch — each location keeps its own stock and records.
  • A pharmacy with a shop alongside — add the shop at half its price and run both from one login.

Pharmacy software questions, answered

What is pharmacy management software?

Software that records medicines, batches, expiry dates, sales and prescriptions in one place, so every sale updates stock and reports immediately instead of being reconciled from separate books.

Does Stawi Biz track batches and expiry dates?

Yes. Medicines are stocked by batch with their expiry dates, the till sells the earliest expiry first, and alerts warn you before a batch expires.

Can it manage NHIF claims?

It keeps NHIF claim records and their statuses so you can prepare and follow up claims. Live verification and submission require authorized provider configuration.

Does it keep a controlled-medicines register?

Yes. Controlled-medicine records are kept with an audit trail. They are internal records that support your own compliance work and do not imply regulator approval.

Can I run a pharmacy and a shop in one system?

Yes. Run a pharmacy and a shop in one account — the second business type is added at half its own price — and switch between them, each keeping its own stock and records.

How much does pharmacy software cost?

Pharmacy plans are TSh 25,000, TSh 35,000 and TSh 55,000 a month. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial and no card is required.

Stock one batch. See the difference.

Fourteen days is enough to see the expiry list you did not have before.
