Greetings,

I would appreciate if folks on this network could let me know about software  
available for drug inventory control. I would like to know the basic  
features of the software ( including strong and weak points), hardware  
system requirements, some comment about user friendliness, upgrades, cost,  
name and address of the distributer etc

Thanks

[Note from the moderator:

Several countries have asked the same question, and it seems that  
everyone is re-inventing wheels. I know of the following software:

INVEC - Management Sciences for Health, USA  
SWEDIS - Pharmasoft Uppsala  
GEMEDIC - AEDES Belgium  
NAVISION - Denmark (in use by Danish Red Cross in Ethiopia, Uganda)  
Software developed promoted by Paul Lamberts, Netherlands

Maybe E-druggers could complete the survey by sending in more examples.  
In my opinion there is clearly a task for someone to write a review of  
these type of software. And maybe WHO should be asked to write guidelines  
so that standards could be set.
