Pharmacy Information System

The five biggest pharmacy chains have employed our information system

Hansasoft has created a special software for pharmacies called Pharmacy Information System

The system is used by nearly half of the pharmacies in Estonia. The five biggest pharmacy chains in Estonia employ the Hansasoft Pharmacy Information System, which has been adapted according to each pharmacy chain.

Pharmacy Information System includes the compulsory basic modules, e.g. warehouse, purchase and sales orders, production, retail cashier workstation, e-Prescription, reporting system, central data management, etc. Also, many integrations have been established with external systems, including various financial software, EDI, pharmaceutical wholesalers, courier companies, bank links, drug interactions, Health Insurance Fund, State Agency of Medicines, e-pharmacy, apteegiinfo.ee interfaces. Different modules and interfaces together form the comprehensive information system for the client.

Main modules of the Pharmacy Information System 2016 have been developed in the Embarcadero Delphi XE environment and they use the MSSQL 2012 database platform.
