Clear handoffs. Safer dispensing.

Know who received each commodity, from which batch or grant, and when. PIMS connects dispensing records with interaction checks, allergy warnings, and duplication of service alerts to strengthen accountability and improve the quality of care.

Capabilities

What Dispensing & Distribution does

Distribution points

Record recipients and quantities for food and non-medical supplies, keeping each distribution available for follow-up and reporting.

A shared service record

Manage distributions, one-off prescriptions and chronic refills together, with a clear record of each service.

One-click dispense

See prescriptions awaiting collection, including those sent through EMR integrations or CCR, to help teams quickly dispense.

Duplication & safety checks

Flag possible duplicate services and medicine-related risks. Enable interaction, allergy, treatment-protocol, reportable-disease and vaccine alerts to suit your services.

Pharmacovigilance

Document suspected adverse drug reactions in a structured form, linking each event to the medicine’s batch for traceability back to its manufacturing source.

Beneficiary register

Give authorized staff access to service, vaccination and family history, with QR card import and logged access to protected patient information.

The challenge

Where visibility makes a difference

Clear service records and timely checks help teams identify duplicate distributions and potential dispensing risks.

Potential duplicate distributions

When a person visits several service points, earlier distributions may be difficult to see. PIMS flags potential duplication for review.

Medicine risks under time pressure

Busy pharmacies need support to review prescriptions consistently. PIMS flags potential interactions and allergies during dispensing.

Prescribing patterns affect demand

Antibiotic and injectable use affects consumption and future orders. Stewardship reports help teams review patterns and support appropriate use.

Why teams rely on it

Built around the realities of daily operations.

  • Appropriate access controls what can be distributed, where and by whom.
  • Smoother patient flow with labels and queue announcements for busy service points.
  • Traceable corrections: reverse prescriptions or distributions while retaining a record of the change.
  • Up-to-date stock: dispensing and distribution update the relevant batch quantities.
