This is worth explaining precisely rather than leaving as a compliance buzzword, because the actual mechanism is simple and worth understanding if a Schedule H1 register is ever going to be shown to an inspector. Nesayo already runs exactly this mechanism on a related table today — every drug-schedule classification change is hashed together with the previous entry's hash, so entry #500's stored hash is a function of entry #499's hash plus entry #500's own content, and altering or deleting a past entry breaks the chain in a way a verification pass detects. The Schedule H1 register itself is auto-logged on every sale today; the same hash-chain mechanism for it is in beta.
The practical effect once it ships: a register kept this way can't be quietly edited after the fact without leaving unambiguous evidence that something changed. A manual paper register, or a digital one stored as an ordinary editable table, has no equivalent property — a row can be edited, deleted, or backdated with no trace at all. Whether a competitor's "register module" carries this same tamper-evidence is worth asking directly, since "has a register" and "has a register that proves it wasn't altered" are very different claims.
A fair amount of this comparison says "not publicly documented" rather than a definitive "no" — worth being upfront about what that phrase actually means and doesn't mean. It means the claimed feature doesn't appear on Magnus's public site or listings as of when this page was last reviewed; it does not mean the feature is confirmed absent, since some vendors keep deeper feature detail behind a sales conversation rather than a public page. The fair reading is: if a feature matters enough to be a deciding factor, ask the vendor directly rather than trusting either side's comparison page to have the complete picture.
What the pattern does reliably signal is something about the sales model itself: pricing and detailed features gated behind a phone call or dealer conversation, rather than published for anyone to check in two minutes, are both markers of software sold primarily through relationship-based regional distribution rather than self-serve discovery. That's neither better nor worse on its own, but it does mean the actual evaluation process looks different — expect a conversation before a real answer, not a page you can read alone and decide from.
Switch if you want billing on a phone or tablet, voice billing in Hindi or Hinglish, photo-prescription scanning, and 5 autonomous AI agents working overnight on expiry, refills, stock, and payments — none of which Magnus publicly documents. Stay on Magnus if your counter staff is heavily trained on its keyboard shortcuts and retraining cost outweighs the upgrade. You can run Nesayo in parallel for a week before fully switching.
Yes if you can export your stock from Magnus as CSV or Excel. Nesayo accepts CSV and Excel uploads, auto-detects common expiry formats (MM/YY, MMM-YY, DD.MM.YYYY, ISO), and maps medicines against its 253,973-medicine catalog. If a Magnus-specific export tool is not available, you can export via the standard stock report and upload that.
Not publicly documented as of 2026 on the vendor's public site. Magnus is positioned as a desktop/cloud pharmacy ERP with standard billing, inventory, and reporting. Nesayo ships 5 named AI agents and Hindi/English/Hinglish voice billing as part of the AI Employee tier.
Magnus does not publicly list its pricing — it is quoted by sales on request, typically as an annual licence plus AMC. Nesayo billing is free forever (2026). The AI Employee tier is ₹999/month (2026), Starter is ₹399/month (2026), and Chain is ₹2,999/month + ₹999/month per additional store (2026). Run Nesayo free in parallel for a week and compare against your current Magnus invoice before deciding.
Yes. The Chain tier at ₹2,999/month + ₹999/month per additional store (2026) is built for multi-location pharmacy chains with consolidated reporting and role-based access. Magnus also offers multi-branch capability via its enterprise modules; specific module pricing is not publicly documented.
