How Ksolves Transformed Pharmaceutical Operations with a Custom Odoo ERP Solution
Overview

Our client is a leading pharmaceutical store supplying medicines and medical devices to hospitals and retail customers. With multiple sales channels, including pharmacy counter sales, in-house sales, and trade sales, the client faced complex workflows, fragmented processes, and limited visibility across departments. They needed a unified system that could simplify operations, streamline billing, and enhance reporting while adhering to pharmaceutical compliance requirements.

Challenges

Managing operations across multiple departments was becoming increasingly complex:

  • Fragmented Sales Processes: Different billing workflows for pharmacy counter, in-house, and trade sales led to errors and inefficiencies.
  • Insurance Claim Complexity: Each insurance provider had multiple plans with specific product coverage, making manual calculations slow and error-prone.
  • Payment Handling Challenges: Customers used multiple payment types, including split payments, and discounts varied across products and orders.
  • Limited Inventory Visibility: The client could not track stock costs or historical inventory efficiently, affecting pricing and purchasing decisions.
  • Time-Consuming Reporting: Generating accurate, department-wise, and insurance-specific reports required significant manual effort.
Our Solution

Ksolves, a trusted Odoo Gold partner, implemented Odoo ERP and designed custom modules specifically for the client’s pharmaceutical operations, transforming fragmented processes into a seamless, automated workflow.
