Where Nesayo can help a pharmacy

Helps cut expiry write-offs
How: FEFO (First Expiry First Out) batch selection is automatic at billing time, and Nesayo refuses to bill a batch once its expiry month has passed. Expiry Guard agent scans every 6 hours and flags items 30/60/90 days from expiry.
Not modelled — it depends on how much stock your shop writes off to expiry today

Helps you spot regular customers who may be due for a refill
How: Refill Radar looks for customers who buy the same medicine on a steady cycle and tells you each morning how many may be due for a refill. It stays quiet when the purchase history is too thin to predict from.

Starts your Schedule H1 record at the moment of sale
How: Schedule H1 sales are logged automatically at billing: date, medicine, batch, quantity and bill number, with the patient and prescriber names entered on the bill. Nesayo does not record the prescriber's address yet, so the pharmacist adds it to complete the Rule 65(3)(h) register. Selling a Schedule H1 drug without a prescription is punishable under Section 27(d) of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940: imprisonment of one to two years and a fine of not less than ₹20,000.
No rupee figure — the H1 entry is made when the medicine is sold, not from memory at the end of the day

GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B summaries ready for your CA every month (every plan, Free included)
How: Generates GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B summaries as JSON and CSV from your bills, for your CA to file; they are not in the GST portal's upload format. Medicines default to 5% GST, the rate most medicines carry since the 12% slab was withdrawn from 22 September 2025. Tax is calculated back from the MRP, because an Indian MRP includes GST.
Not measured — less manual spreadsheet work each month

Five AI agents check your shop every morning

Morning Briefing

8:00 AM daily

Sends a morning briefing: yesterday's bills and sales, expiring stock, medicines running out, refills due, customer dues and yesterday's Schedule H1 sales

Expiry Guard

Every 6 hours

Scans every batch, flags items 30/60/90 days from expiry and suggests a discount or a return to the distributor

Refill Radar

9:00 AM daily

Looks for customers who buy the same medicine on a steady cycle and tells you how many may be due for a refill

Stock Sense

9:15 AM daily

Flags medicines that are running out, based on your own sales, and suggests what to reorder

Payment Advisor

10:00 AM daily

Tracks what you owe each distributor and flags payments that are overdue or due within 3 days

The agents ask before they act: they suggest, and you approve with one tap. They never change your stock, invoices or payments on their own.

Who Nesayo is for (and who it isn't)

Solo pharmacist, 60-120 bills/day
Good fit — typed billing is free, and on the Full plan the five agents do the daily expiry, reorder and dues checks for you
2-3 branch small chain
Good fit — the Chain plan (by invitation) puts several stores in one owner view
Ayurvedic pharmacy
Supported — therapeutic-category alternatives built on a 61-item Ayurveda seed
Switching from existing desktop billing software
Good fit — import your stock from CSV or Excel (or we move your data across for you, free), run both in parallel for a week, switch when confident
High-prescription pharmacy (Schedule H1 heavy)
Strong fit — every H1 sale is logged at billing, so your register starts from the bill
Large 50+ branch chain
Possible — the Chain plan runs several stores in one owner view; talk to us before moving 50+ branches
OTC-only wellness shop
Okay — the free billing works, but Schedule H/H1 handling won't matter to you, and a general retail billing app may suit you just as well

Frequently asked questions

Should I use Nesayo for my pharmacy?

Yes — if you dispense prescription drugs in India, charge GST, and want to cut stock lost to expiry. Billing is free forever. Essential (₹399/month + GST) adds voice billing (beta), prescription scanning and Refill Radar, and Full (₹999/month + GST) adds all 5 AI agents and the Tally export. The agents are built to catch expiring stock early, flag what is running out and keep distributor payments on time. If you're OTC-only (no prescription dispensing), a general retail billing app may suit you just as well.

How is Nesayo different from desktop pharmacy billing software?

Nesayo is web-based (any phone, any browser) instead of Windows desktop. It adds voice billing in Hindi and English (beta), 5 AI agents that check your shop every morning, Tally export and prescription photo scanning. Billing is free forever and paid plans start at ₹399/month + GST. Import your existing stock list from CSV or Excel, or we move your data across for you, free — and you can run both systems in parallel until you're comfortable switching.

How much does Nesayo cost?

As of September 2026: pharmacy billing is free forever — unlimited bills, GST, a catalogue of more than 2.5 lakh medicines, Schedule H/H1 flags, FEFO and expiry tracking, WhatsApp bill link, GSTR-1/3B summaries (JSON and CSV) for your CA, and import of your existing stock from CSV, Excel, text or photo, at ₹0, no AMC, no installation fee. Essential — voice billing (beta), photo prescription scanning and Refill Radar — is ₹399/month + GST. Full — voice billing, all 5 AI agents, photo prescription scanning, Tally export (XML and CSV), and AI memory — is ₹999/month + GST. The first 200 AI-assisted bills are free, with no card and no time limit. The multi-location Chain plan (by invitation) is from ₹2,999/month + GST (includes the first store; ₹999/month + GST per additional store).

Is Nesayo secure and DPDP-compliant?

Each pharmacy's data is kept separate from every other pharmacy's. Data is encrypted in transit, and our off-site backups are AES-256 encrypted. The app never deletes Schedule H1 entries; Rule 65(3)(h) says such records “shall be maintained for three years”. SMS-forwarder payment reconciliation stores no bank credentials. Our privacy policy at https://nesayo.com/privacy explains, in line with the DPDP Act 2023, what we record and your rights — and on request we switch voice and screen recordings off for your shop.

Can I switch from my current software without losing data?

Yes — run both side by side until you're sure. Nesayo accepts CSV, Excel, pipe-delimited, pasted text, and photo uploads of your current stock list — common export formats auto-detect. Run Nesayo alongside your current software for a week, check that every bill matches, then cut over. We move your current software's data across for you, free.

Does it work offline?

Billing does, through a connection drop: if the internet goes while the billing page is open, new bills are kept on the device and sent when the connection returns. The page needs a connection to open.

Is there a free trial or demo I can see before buying?

Yes. The live demo at https://nesayo.com/demo is a sample pharmacy — create bills and look around, no signup needed. Every new account also gets its first 200 AI-assisted bills (voice or prescription photo) free, with no card and no time limit.
