Why pharmacies in Uganda choose cloud software
Pharmacies in Uganda face the same pressures as pharmacies everywhere, with some local twists: power and internet that can drop during the busiest hour, a large share of payments by MTN Mobile Money, suppliers who deliver short-dated stock, and owners who run the business from their phone between other commitments. A cloud system with an offline-capable till handles all of these: the counter keeps going, every payment method is recorded, every batch and expiry date is captured on delivery, and the owner sees the day's numbers from anywhere.

Records and regulation
Pharmacies in Uganda are regulated by the National Drug Authority (NDA). poso keeps clear records of what you bought, from which supplier, by batch and expiry date, and what you sold, which makes it quicker to answer questions, handle recalls and remove expired stock. poso is a business system, not a regulatory filing tool: always follow the National Drug Authority's requirements for licensing, premises, prescriptions and records.
