What EliteTeQ gives back to your pharmacy
Every part of EliteTeQ, described by what it does for a pharmacy.
Get value back from near-expiry stock
Near-expiry stock goes back to the supplier in time, recorded against their balance instead of the bin.
Reordering without overstocking →A counter that moves, safely
Fast sales for over-the-counter items, a flagged path for prescriptions, and returns that put stock back correctly.
The sales reports worth running →See what expiry really costs you
What does expire is written off with a reason, so losses are visible and shrink month by month.
Selling by expiry (FEFO) →Medicines where the patients are
Move stock from a quiet branch or the store room to the one that is running low.
Running several branches and stores →The right person dispenses
Each role decides what that staff member can sell, and only you see costs and margins.
Fair rules that stop till fraud →Every sale has a name and a time
Each staff member has a login, so every sale, price change and adjustment can be traced.
Catching shrinkage early →Suppliers answer faster
Order from suppliers and confirm shortages on WhatsApp instead of chasing them by phone.

Received, transferred, dispensed, returned or written off, batch by batch.
Reading stock turnover →Books that keep up with the counter
Sales, purchases and expenses post to your accounts as they happen, with margin by branch.
Accounting and ERP in one system →Your team in the same system
Staff records and roles sit next to your stock and sales, not in a separate file.
Staff, payroll and branches →Your business in your pocket, online or off
Check every branch from your phone, and keep dispensing when the network drops. Everything syncs when it returns.
Cloud vs traditional POS →Still running your pharmacy on a register and a basic till?

Pharmacy POS software in Hong Kong
Built for Hong Kong businesses with Dollar (HK$) pricing, Octopus, FPS and wallet payments recorded against each sale, and fast checkout for dense, high-footfall streets and malls.
There is no VAT or sales tax to charge at the till, so the work is speed and accuracy: Octopus taps, FPS transfers and wallet payments all have to reconcile with stock. Rents are high and shops are small, which puts a premium on tight stock control.
Pharmacies in Hong Kong are licensed by the Pharmacy and Poisons Board of Hong Kong. EliteTeQ keeps batch, expiry and controlled-medicine dispensing records ready whenever they are asked for.
A day in a pharmacy on EliteTeQ
An illustrative day, not a customer story.
Before opening, the near-expiry list shows which batches to bring forward and which to send back to the supplier.
A wholesaler delivers. Each medicine is received with its batch number and expiry date.
A prescription comes in. The item is flagged, the pharmacist confirms it, and the sale is recorded against them.
A controlled medicine is dispensed, and the record is created with the batch, the staff member and the time.
Branch 2 is low on oral rehydration salts. A transfer from the main pharmacy is sent and confirmed on arrival.
Near-expiry stock is returned to the supplier and recorded against their balance.
Closing. Cash, Octopus and card reconcile against the day's sales.

What POS system is best for pharmacies in Hong Kong?
The best fit in Hong Kong is POS software that runs your batches, expiry dates and dispensing records, not just payments. EliteTeQ sells the oldest stock first, keeps prescription and OTC sales separate, records every controlled-medicine sale, prices in HKD and keeps working offline. It records Octopus, card and cash against each sale and keeps complete sales records for your accountant.
Can EliteTeQ track batch numbers and expiry dates?
Yes. Batch numbers and expiry dates are captured when stock is received, and every sale comes out of a specific batch.
Does it sell the oldest stock first?
Yes. FEFO alerts tell staff which batch to sell first, and a near-expiry report shows what is close to its date before it turns.
Can I separate prescription and over-the-counter sales?
Yes. Prescription and over-the-counter items run on separate, clearly flagged workflows, and each staff member’s role decides what they can dispense.
Can I keep records of controlled medicines?
Yes. Every controlled-medicine sale is recorded with the staff member, the time and the batch, so the records are ready when an inspector asks.
Can I return near-expiry stock to suppliers?
Yes. Near-expiry stock is returned as a purchase return against the supplier’s balance, so you recover its value instead of writing it off.
Can I limit what each staff member can do?
Yes. Pharmacists, assistants and cashiers each get their own login and role, and only you see costs and margins.
Can customers pay with Octopus?
Yes. EliteTeQ records Octopus, card and cash against each sale, so every payment method is accounted for and reconciles at closing.
Can I manage several pharmacy branches?
Yes. Each branch has its own stock. Move medicines between branches with a transfer confirmed on arrival, and compare branches side by side.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The counter keeps selling and printing receipts when the internet or power drops, and everything syncs when the connection returns.
Can I see margin by product?
Yes. EliteTeQ records the cost of what you buy, so reports show sales, cost of goods and margin by product, category and branch.
Is there support for pharmacies in Hong Kong?
Yes. Setup, product import, staff training and day-to-day support for businesses in Hong Kong are done remotely, over WhatsApp, phone and screen-share, so you talk to a real person without waiting for a visit. Prices, payments and tax records are set up for Hong Kong.
How much does pharmacy POS software cost in Hong Kong?
EliteTeQ starts from USD 499 per year and scales with your branches, products and users. Setup and importing your product list are free.
