Best erp software for pharma distributors in India

ERP software unifies finance, inventory, production, purchase, sales and often HR into a single database. It is the highest-stakes purchase in this catalogue: implementation typically costs more than licensing, and a failed rollout is expensive to unwind. For pharma distributors specifically, batch and expiry tracking is a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have.

What pharma distributors need from erp software

  • Batch and expiry tracking is a legal requirement, not a nice-to-have
  • Near-expiry stock has to be identified early enough to return it
  • Schedule H and H1 drugs carry their own record-keeping obligations
  • Retailer credit periods and outstanding balances need constant visibility
  • Free goods and scheme discounts complicate every invoice
