Pharma & Healthcare Distributor Management

Pharma & Healthcare Distributor Management Cloud Software for Vietnam

The channel runs from manufacturer or importer through sub-distributor and wholesaler tiers, ending at the pharmacy and hospital counter. 1Channel's cloud DMS captures batch details the moment stock arrives at goods-in, dispatches by FEFO, manages cold-chain handling, and settles VND collections in line with Vietnam's e-invoicing rules, already mandatory nationwide.

How It Works

Three Pillars of Vietnam's Pharma Cloud DMS

Three things decide whether a pharma DMS actually works in Vietnam. Tier visibility has to run unbroken, starting at the manufacturer or importer and reaching all the way to the pharmacy and hospital counter. Every batch and lot needs treating as a patient-safety record, not a stock-count line. And collections have to keep up with how the channel actually pays: cash, cash on delivery, VietQR, and e-wallets, all reconciling against the same VND ledger.

Distributor to Pharmacy and Hospital Order Flow

Every account in the channel gets mapped once: lead distributor, sub-distributors and wholesalers across the North, Centre, and South, registered pharmacies, and hospital direct accounts. From there, orders route to the correct account automatically, each carrying its own VND price list, with visibility extending down to the sub-distributor tier instead of stopping at the first handoff.

Batch Capture, Expiry, and FEFO Dispatch

Every SKU that needs one carries a DAV or VFA registration reference, tracked together with its batch number and expiry. As soon as stock is booked in, GRN records those batch details, and dispatch then pulls whichever lot is closest to expiry first, under FEFO. Batch management holds stock reserves per order, so tracing a lot for recall reaches every account it touched, right down to the receiving pharmacy or hospital.

Cold Chain and Field Order Capture

Vaccines, biologics, and insulin are flagged for cold storage the moment they enter the warehouse, staying flagged all the way through dispatch, with any temperature break logged against its batch instead of written off as general shrinkage. Out in the field, reps log orders and recall credit notes on the move, with syncing built to handle patchy signal on remote mountain or delta routes.

Complete Platform

Orders, Batches, Cold Chain, Returns on One Cloud

One DMS covers the whole chain, starting with a DAV-aligned SKU master and running through to recall-ready returns. Channel-tier rules apply automatically, and settlement understands how the market actually pays, whether that is VietQR, e-wallets, or a bank transfer.

Distributor Order Processing

An order triggers FEFO auto-allocation, applies the right scheme, runs a credit check against the pharmacy, hospital, or wholesaler account, and stamps the resulting VND invoice with its batch. Whether it started with the rep, came through the wholesaler portal, or was placed on the app, the booking reaches dispatch without anyone re-entering it.

Batch, Expiry, Cold Chain Inventory

Stock across every depot carries batch, expiry, and cold-storage flags. Whether a consignment arrived by import or came from local production, GRN records its batch details right at goods-in. From there, warehouse bins hold vaccines and biologics to cold-chain rules built specifically for Vietnam's heat and humidity.

Pricing and Trade Schemes

Pharmacy, hospital tender, and OTC pricing each sit on their own VND hierarchy, so one channel's price change never touches another's. Schemes layer on top, handling value-slab, volume-slab, and bonus-stock variants measured against month-to-date targets.

Returns, Recalls, Credit Workflow

Every VietQR, bank-transfer, and e-wallet receipt reconciles automatically, credit ageing stays current, and an account is blocked the moment it breaches its limit. When a recall runs, it produces credit notes backed by a batch-level audit trail that reaches down to the receiving account.

Apps that Run the System

Cloud Apps for Vietnamese Pharma Field Teams

Field visits, pharmacy and hospital orders, and distributor work all run through two flagship 1Channel apps, both downloadable on Google Play and the App Store. Both draw on one shared cloud backend behind the admin portal, and each keeps working when a remote provincial route drops signal, syncing back up automatically once connectivity returns.
