    Hi,

    I am looking for information on a medicine wholesaling software. The software should be able to keep track of incoming materials and outgoing materials (stock keeping) and should be able to effectively get the expiry product report for a defined period.

    Apart from above requirement, it should have all the required characteristic of a retailing/wholesaling software.

    Any information on this kind of software or if someone can develop anything similar would be greatly appreciated.

    I doubt that you'd find something like that both already written and available for purchase. Companies like that will have a program written for their own needs, or will limp along with an Excel spreadsheet, an Access database or something similar.

    Can it be developed? Sure. Do you have a large enough budget? I doubt it. Something in the low 6 figures should be about it. (I did a similar program about 15 years ago. Two full time developers for about 6 months.)

    HA ha ha...You must be kidding....Such a program can be developed in 15 days by a single developer with an average knowledge.
    It is just that we do not have time for such a ow budgeted project...

    Or, to translate that to reality, you have no idea how to even start to write a program like that. But if you want a fast ripped-out piece of junk, you probably CAN get it for the $5,000 such a programmer would charge you for 3 weeks of work. Then, when it doesn't actually do what you need (there are legal ramifications to medical software), you can write that $5,000 off, pay the fines for keeping inadequate records (which will be a lot more than the actual cost of getting proper software written) and pay $100,000 to get the software written.

    The medical software field is a lot more than knowing how to code.

    If you do not understand the requirement you failed at the beginning.

    Oh, I understand the requirements. Do you understand the applicable laws? I'd bet not.

    I got a similar software like this made for $7000 and it took the developers 1 month to finish it. Were really top notch guys.

    @comxian:

    In most countries, that list is missing a few legal requirements for handling drugs.
