Why Chemists Are Switching from Old Billing Software to Pharma Remit

Many pharmacies still run on billing software that was installed years ago. It works, but it is slow, hard to learn, and difficult to update. If your staff needs long training for every small task, or you wait for the software to catch up with a busy counter, it may be costing you more than you think.

Signs it is time to switch

Billing takes too many steps at the counter. A new staff member needs days to learn the screens. Reports are confusing, so you avoid checking them. Registers and records are filled in by hand. Updates for tax and regulatory changes arrive late, or not at all. If two or more of these sound familiar, your software is holding your pharmacy back.

What a modern system should give you

A good pharmacy billing system should be simple enough for a new employee to use on the first day, and still strong enough to handle retail and wholesale billing, inventory, expiry tracking, GST reports and drug registers in one place. It should keep your records clear and ready when an inspector asks for them, and it should be updated regularly.

What Pharma Remit offers

Pharma Remit is built for chemists and wholesalers. Retail and wholesale billing, inventory, GST reports and drug registers work together in one system, with a simple interface that is easy to learn. The latest version, v17, is released and includes all the 2026 features. It is available now at www.pharmaremit.com, and it is also available on the Microsoft Store.

Worried about moving your data?

This is the biggest reason people stay with old software. With Pharma Remit there is no migration fee. You do not need to start from zero, because your existing records can be moved from your old software.

Try it before you decide

You can use Pharma Remit free for 7 days. If you like it, you buy it after the trial. If it is not right for you, you have lost nothing but a little time.

Before you switch: simple checklist

First, take a full backup of your old software's data and keep it safe. Second, note down your daily tasks, such as billing, purchase entry, returns and reports, and test each one during the trial. Third, ask your staff to try it at the counter, since they will use it most. Fourth, check that your registers and reports match what you need for inspections and returns. Only then decide.
