The Problem

Pharmacies face TFDA, TRA, and inventory pressure all at once

Stock has expiry dates. Some medicines are controlled. TFDA wants paper trails. TRA wants fiscal receipts. NHIF wants insurance billing. Most pharmacy software handles one or two — Tawala handles all of it.

1

Expiry losses are silent

Without batch and expiry tracking, you don't know what's about to lapse until you find a shelf of unsellable stock. Pharmacies routinely lose 5-8% of inventory to expiry.

2

Controlled drug regulations are paperwork-heavy

Every controlled drug sale needs a register entry, prescription record, and quarterly TFDA report. Doing this by hand is error-prone and audit-risky.

3

Insurance billing eats time

NHIF, AAR, Jubilee, MO each have their own claim formats. Without integrated billing, the pharmacist spends 30% of their day on insurance paperwork instead of patients.

How It Works

From dispensing to insurance claim, in one workflow

1

Receive with batch and expiry

Every supplier delivery scans into Tawala with batch number and expiry date. FEFO picking ensures the oldest stock sells first. Short-expiry alerts fire 30 days out.

2

Dispense against prescription

Pharmacist enters the prescription, Tawala validates the dose, checks for drug interactions, deducts stock, prints labels, and records the dispensing in the patient record.

3

Bill insurance and TRA in one click

Customer copay paid via cash or M-Pesa. The insured portion auto-bills NHIF (or AAR, Jubilee, MO) using their format. TRA VFD receipt prints, with the insurance portion recorded correctly.

Built for Tanzania

TFDA-aware, TRA-compliant, NHIF-integrated

Tawala maintains the controlled drug register, generates TFDA-ready quarterly reports, and tracks every sale, return, and write-off with full audit trail.

NHIF, AAR, Jubilee, MO Insurance integration means the pharmacist takes the patient's insurance card, scans, and Tawala does the rest — claim, copay, receipt, all in seconds.
