Can DawaFill work alongside existing pharmacy software?
Yes. DawaFill is designed as a focused patient refill and follow-up workspace. Where appropriate, a pharmacy can keep its existing POS, dispensing, inventory or management system and use DawaFill to organise the continuing patient relationship.

Avoid replacing working systems without a clear reason
If an existing system already handles transactions or inventory well, the missing requirement may simply be patient relationship and refill follow-up.
Keep what works
Retain existing operational systems where they meet requirements.
Define the gap
Identify whether patient refill follow-up is fragmented.
Import or connect
Use supported data imports or approved integrations where needed.
Measure adoption
Track whether staff actually use the follow-up workflow.

Common questions
Must I replace my POS?
No. DawaFill is not positioned as requiring replacement of your POS.
Can I use DawaFill with existing pharmacy software in Uganda?
Yes. Where the existing software already handles sales, stock or dispensing, DawaFill can provide a separate patient CRM and refill follow-up workflow. Data transfer or integration depends on the systems involved and the approved connection method.
Can DawaFill import data?
Yes. The Data Hub supports structured imports and approved system connections.
Is every external system automatically supported?
No. Integration depends on the external system and an approved configuration.
