Simple
Lightweight Mobile POS & Inventory Management for Pharmacists.
The Overview
The Challenge
Pharmacists often struggle with outdated, clunky desktop POS systems that lack mobility and real-time synchronization. Traditional software is overly complex, making it difficult for technicians to quickly process sales or perform inventory counts while on the floor. The goal was to create a "handheld-first" experience that simplifies daily pharmacy operations without sacrificing robust stock control.
The Solution
We developed a sleek Expo-based application combining a fast barcode-scanning POS with offline-first inventory tracking. By focusing on "Quick Actions" like Nouvelle Vente and Recherche, we reduced friction on the most common tasks. The system features a real-time dashboard with SQLite-driven KPIs and a simplified 3-step checkout flow: Basket → Verification → Encaissement.
Interface Details
A streamlined, touch-first experience built for the pharmacy floor.
Active POS Interface
The "Nouvelle Vente" screen allows for rapid product searching and quantity adjustments, optimized for one-handed operation.
Smart Inventory Management
A centralized catalog with real-time stock levels, categorization (Tablets, Syrups, etc.), and integrated barcode entry.
Daily KPI Tracking
Real-time insights into today's transactions and revenue, helping managers make data-driven decisions via SQLite-powered metrics.
Streamlined Verification
A refined invoice confirmation step that ensures accuracy before finalizing transactions, supporting variable tax rates (TVA).
Process & Methodology
Discovery & User Flow Mapping
Conducted interviews with pharmacy technicians to identify bottlenecks in the current checkout process and mapped out the core "Quick Action" user flows.
UI/UX Design & Prototyping
Designed a high-fidelity design system focused on legibility and touch-targets. Created interactive prototypes for the cart and checkout transitions.
Development & SQLite/Supabase Integration
Built the mobile app using React Native/Expo, implementing real-time data synchronization with Supabase for cloud backup and SQLite for offline performance.
