Zamda Health has unveiled its Point of Sale (POS) system, a cloud-based tool designed to digitise pharmacy operations, improve access to genuine medicines, and enhance patient safety in Nigeria.
The Zamda POS, which forms the backbone of the startup’s digital health ecosystem, enables pharmacists to upload and synchronise their inventory both offline and online.
The system also provides expiry alerts, real-time sales tracking, multi-branch synchronisation, employee management, and sales analytics.
In addition, it supports prescription verification, AI-driven restocking, and discount promotions.
Speaking at the launch in Lagos, co-founder Sunday Emmanuel said the POS was developed to solve some of the biggest challenges community pharmacists face, including poor inventory management and the risk of counterfeit drugs entering circulation.
“Pharmacists often struggle with stock tracking and patients sometimes can’t find the medicines they need. With Zamda POS, pharmacies can operate more efficiently, and patients can have peace of mind knowing drugs are available and genuine,” Emmanuel said.
The POS is part of a wider digital ecosystem that also includes the Zamda Mobile App, which allows patients to search and order prescription and over-the-counter drugs from multiple pharmacies, compare prices, request home delivery or in-store pickup, and access services such as online consultations, allergy detection, and prescription refills.
The third product, Zamda AI, offers patients instant responses to drug information, medical queries, and safety alerts.
Medicines uploaded on the platform are cross-checked against the NAFDAC database to ensure authenticity, while controlled drugs can only be accessed with prescriptions verified by licensed doctors.
Zamda Health has begun operations in Lagos and Enugu, with plans to expand into rural communities where access to medicines remains limited.
Pharmacies subscribing to the POS pay an annual fee starting from ₦12,000, with packages ranging between ₦1,500 and ₦3,500 monthly, alongside onboarding and staff training support.
According to Emmanuel, the long-term goal is to bridge Nigeria’s medicine access gap.
“We want to reach villages where people have the money to buy drugs but cannot find them nearby. Zamda Health will bridge that gap,” he added.
With its debut, Zamda Health positions itself as a key player in Nigeria’s digital health sector, offering an integrated solution that strengthens pharmacy operations while improving drug access and patient safety.
