Built for Ayurvedic pharmacies & AYUSH hospitals

Ayurvedic pharmacy management — herb lots to patient dispensing

Herbal medicine batch tracking with source and season information, compound formulation records, shelf-life management for different formulation types, AYUSH-compliant dispensing, and patient billing — in one system that handles both Ayurvedic and allopathic inventory.

Three inventory challenges specific to Ayurvedic pharmacies

Standard pharmacy software was designed for allopathic medicines with fixed compositions and standard batch attributes. Ayurvedic inventory behaves differently — and needs a system that understands the difference.

Herb lot quality varies by season — standard batch tracking doesn't capture this

Ashwagandha root from the winter harvest is different from the summer harvest. A standard system that tracks only manufacturer batch and expiry misses the source and season information that matters for compound formulation quality.

Compound formulations prepared in-house — no system link between raw herb and finished compound

When a Kashaya or Churna is prepared from raw herbs in the hospital dispensary, there is no automatic link between the raw herb lots consumed and the finished compound batch. Traceability is lost at formulation.

Shelf-life varies by formulation type — churnas, ghirtas, and aristas expire differently

A Ghrita (medicated ghee) has a different shelf-life than a Churna (powder) or an Arista (fermented liquid). Systems that apply the same shelf-life logic to all items miss the category-specific variation that drives expiry management in an Ayurvedic pharmacy.


Herb & compound batch tracking

From the raw herb lot to the patient's prescription — complete traceability

HISx tracks Ayurvedic inventory end-to-end: raw herbs with source and season, compound formulation batches linked to constituent herb lots, and dispensing linked to the compound batch — full traceability from field to patient.

  • Raw herb lots tracked with supplier, harvest season, source region, and quality grade
  • Compound formulation batches linked to constituent raw herb lots — full bill-of-materials traceability
  • Shelf-life configured per formulation category — Churna, Kashaya, Arista, Ghrita, Vati each with own expiry rules
  • FEFO enforced at dispensing — oldest formulation batch dispensed first within each formulation category

All capabilities

Built for Ayurvedic and integrative medicine facilities

AYUSH-compliant dispensing

Dispensing workflows configured for Ayurvedic, Unani, Siddha, and Yoga formulations. Prescription linkage, dose tracking, and patient dispensing records compliant with AYUSH regulatory requirements.

Raw herb procurement

Herb supplier management with source and quality grade tracking. Vendor rate contracts for recurring herb suppliers. Purchase orders with harvest season and region captured at GRN. Multi-vendor price comparison.

Dual formulary management

Ayurvedic and allopathic medicines managed in the same item master with different dispensing workflows, batch attributes, and regulatory classifications. Integrative medicine hospitals run both without two separate systems.

Patient billing

GST-compliant billing for Ayurvedic pharmacy sales. Panchakarma procedure billing with consumable consumption tracking. In-patient and out-patient billing handled separately.

Shelf-life & expiry management

Formulation-type-specific shelf-life rules. FEFO enforced per formulation category. Near-expiry alerts at configurable thresholds. Physical stock audit with expiry-based write-off workflow.

AYUSH drug controller audit logs

Compound formulation batch records with constituent herb lots, dispensing logs with patient and prescriber details, and shelf-life monitoring records — available on demand for AYUSH drug controller inspections.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Most standard pharmacy ERPs are designed for allopathic medicines with fixed chemical compositions and standard batch sizes. Ayurvedic medicines have different inventory characteristics — herb lot quality varies by season and source, compound formulations are prepared in batches from raw herbs, shelf-life depends on formulation type, and regulatory compliance follows AYUSH guidelines. HISx handles both Ayurvedic and allopathic inventory within the same system with configurable item categories, batch attributes, and dispensing workflows for each type.
HISx tracks Ayurvedic compound formulations at the batch level from raw herb receipt through compound preparation and final dispensing. Each batch carries lot information for the constituent raw herbs, preparation date, compound shelf-life, and storage conditions. This full traceability allows an Ayurvedic hospital to trace a dispensed medicine back to the original herb lots, supporting quality assurance and regulatory compliance under AYUSH guidelines.
Yes. HISx manages Ayurvedic, Unani, Siddha, and allopathic medicines within the same inventory system using configurable item categories with different dispensing workflows, batch attributes, and shelf-life parameters for each medicine type. An integrative medicine hospital or AYUSH hospital with an emergency allopathic wing can run both on the same HISx instance with unified procurement, reporting, and patient billing.
HISx supports AYUSH-specific compliance requirements including herb lot tracking with source and harvest season information, compound formulation batch records with constituent herb details, shelf-life management based on formulation type, dispensing audit logs for AYUSH drug controller inspections, and a configurable item master that supports Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia nomenclature alongside generic and brand names.
Yes. HISx procurement covers both raw herb purchasing from herb suppliers and finished Ayurvedic medicine purchasing from licensed manufacturers. Raw herbs are tracked by lot with harvest season, source, and quality grade. Vendor rate contracts apply to recurring herb suppliers. The system supports multi-vendor procurement with price comparison for the same herb from different sources.
