- Stock control and management in every pharmacy with inter pharmacy transfers
- Billing on a real time basis (split between their private and Funded patients (like AAR members)
- Revenue and stats per “branch” location

- Stock includes generics, batch control with expiry dates, consignment stock, packs and linked items
