# Run your pharmacy on DokiTab.

FEFO batch dispensing, reorder alerts, and a cashier that closes one financial shift at a time — built for Nigerian community pharmacies, chain branches, and hospital dispensaries. Records stay NDPA-compliant, even when NEPA takes the router down.

## Five modules. One shift ledger.

Every pharmacy action — dispense, sell, reorder, refund — posts against a single financial shift, so your closing total at 9 p.m. is exactly what the bank expects. No spreadsheets, no end-of-day shouting.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does FEFO (First-Expiring, First-Out) batch dispensing work?

Dokitab prioritizes drug batches by expiry date first (expiry_date ASC, received_date ASC), allocating from the nearest-expiring batch automatically to prevent shelf loss.

### Can pharmacy staff operate POS dispensing without internet connectivity?

Yes. Offline-ready caching keeps drug catalogs and dispensing queues live during power cutovers or internet outages, syncing automatically when connectivity returns.

### How does cashier shift balance work for pharmacy counters?

Cashiers declare an opening float at shift start. Cash, POS card, and bank transfers track in real time with mandatory shift reconciliation at close.

### Does Dokitab charge per pharmacist or user seat?

No. All tiers include unlimited pharmacist, technician, and cashier accounts without per-seat fees, preserving individual NDPA-compliant audit trails.

### How does DokiTab for Pharmacy compare to VirtualRx, Remedial Health, Choyom EMR, and Medpack in Nigeria?

Unlike retail-only pharmacy POS tools (VirtualRx, Choyom EMR) or B2B wholesale procurement apps (Remedial Health, Medpack) that lack hospital-wide clinical integration, DokiTab combines a standalone FEFO batch retail POS and NAFDAC Greenbook verifier with inpatient eMAR, PCN 2026 (S.I. No. 8) single-fill prescription locks, and NHIA 10% co-pay split billing starting at ₦0/month.

## One shift. One ledger. One source of truth.

Standalone pharmacies and hospital dispensaries use the same module set. No per-terminal licenses, no per-cashier fees. Naira pricing, NDPA-grade audit, and offline capture when the grid goes down.
