Pharmacy POS Kenya
POS System for Pharmacies in Kenya
sell.ke helps Kenyan pharmacies manage prescription and OTC stock, track expiry dates by batch, accept M-Pesa at the dispensing counter, and stay KRA eTIMS compliant — all in one system.
Why pharmacies need a specialised POS
A standard retail POS treats all products the same. Pharmacies need expiry-date tracking per batch, separation of prescription and OTC stock, and an audit trail for scheduled medicines. sell.ke adds these pharmacy-specific workflows on top of its core POS so your team doesn't need two separate systems.
Kenyan pharmacy owners also deal with M-Pesa as the dominant payment method — and often see multiple payment types in a single transaction (e.g., NHIF covers part, M-Pesa covers the rest). sell.ke handles split-payment checkout and reconciles each payment channel separately in your daily report.
Built for the Kenyan pharmacy workflow
Every feature below was shaped by feedback from pharmacists and pharmacy owners across Kenya.
Prescription & product catalogue
Manage OTC products, prescription medicines, and controlled drugs in separate categories with dispensing notes per item.
Expiry date tracking
Set expiry dates per batch. Get alerts 30, 60 and 90 days before products expire so you can run promotions before wastage.
M-Pesa, NHIF & cash checkout
Accept Lipa na M-Pesa, cash, and split payments at the dispensing counter — insurance billing workflow coming in Q3 2026.
Controlled drug audit log
Every transaction for scheduled medicines records the cashier, quantity, and timestamp for regulatory inspection readiness.
Supplier purchase orders
Reorder from your preferred pharmaceutical distributors directly inside sell.ke and update stock automatically on receipt.
KRA eTIMS receipts
Every sale generates a KRA-compliant tax receipt without any extra steps from your pharmacy team.
Stop losing money to expired stock
Expired medicines cost Kenyan pharmacies thousands of shillings every month in write-offs. sell.ke's batch-level expiry alerts give you 30, 60 and 90-day warnings so you can run a sale or return stock to the supplier before the expiry date.
