Testimonials
What they say about us
A game-changer for pharmacy operations. This drug comparison software doesn’t just save time and money, it transforms the way we work.
The real standout is the suite of extra features: the intuitive returns management screen, the sleek new DC app, and the ability to reconcile orders with a scanner, all of which make daily tasks faster and smarter.
We’re especially excited about the upcoming invoice reconciliation feature, which promises to streamline operations even further. What’s more, the financial benefit is undeniable, doing the same job manually would be nearly impossible, requiring immense time and labour. By automating these processes, pharmacies save thousands in staffing costs and reclaim hours for patient care and strategic work.
A forward-thinking, innovative company delivering fast, reliable software that truly understands the needs of the sector. I highly recommend it.

Drug Comparison has truly been a game-changer for our pharmacy. It has transformed the way we manage stock, ensuring we always get the best prices from our wholesalers while maintaining full visibility of stock availability in real time.
The platform provides live updates on product availability, pricing, and supplier options, helping us make faster and more informed decisions. With the introduction of the Drug Comparison app, taking control of our medicine orders has never been easier. It has streamlined our entire purchasing process and improved efficiency across the team.
Drug Comparison has become an essential part of our daily workflow, saving us both time and money and giving us the confidence that we’re always buying smart.

Drug Comparison has been a great option for the pharmacy. It has saved staff time by eliminating the need to search through suppliers for the cheapest price and has ensured that the most cost-effective items are selected.
Other features, such as bulk ordering, excess stock management, and product returns, have also helped streamline our workflows.
Amjad Hayat
Wolston Alliance Chemist
Before using Drug Comparison, managing prices and stock was a real challenge. We had to open each supplier’s website one by one just to compare prices, which took ages, especially when doing bulk orders. On top of that, we kept separate spreadsheets to track excess stock and had to manually update and adjust them every time something changed. Checking Drug Tariff prices, concessions, and availability before every order was just another time-consuming task.
Since switching to Drug Comparison, it’s been a total game-changer. It literally does all the thinking and searching for you. The Bulk Ordering and Excess Stock features make ordering so much easier, and the built-in Drug Tariff and Stock Availability Tracker save us hours every week. The system even keeps track of current and previous month concessions, it’s brilliant.
We have saved so much time, energy, and money. I feel like I’ve got far more control over our purchasing and stock management now. The supplier comparison feature is amazing too, it shows the cheapest prices instantly, and that alone makes it worth it.
I’ve used quite a few different pharmacy software systems over the years, but this is by far the best one I’ve come across. Honestly, it’s a no-brainer for any independent pharmacy. Give it a try, I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed!

I signed up with Drug Comparison when I bought my pharmacy two years ago, and it is a decision I’m so glad I made. After working in independents and seeing the daily struggle and time spent calling suppliers and comparing prices, I felt there had to be a better way, and Drug Comparison has been exactly that way:
- Easy-to-use portal
- All major suppliers included
- Integrates with PMR
- Transparent, simple, and highly competitive pricing (as a new owner, I did a lot of research on alternatives to make sure I wasn’t being short-changed!)
- Huge time savings, and time = money!
- Great features such as the excess stock panel, returns management pages, and profit/loss reports, all available at the click of a button
My team loves it just as much as I do, and it gives me peace of mind to let them handle ordering with minimal oversight from me. I would highly recommend Drug Comparison to anyone, and indeed, I already have to other independent pharmacy owners I know.

This drug comparison platform has become invaluable in our pharmacy operations. Being able to instantly check prices across suppliers means we can make informed purchasing decisions in real time.
The site has significantly improved our ability to manage costs while maintaining stock availability. When patients ask about pricing or when we need to source alternatives quickly, having reliable comparison data at our fingertips makes all the difference.
Simple to use, consistently accurate, and a genuine asset for any pharmacy team looking to optimise their procurement process.
Ramez Hassan
Friarwood Pharmacy
Before using Drug Comparison, we relied on our PMR to order on a one-to-one basis. We had endless problems with this system, we either had too much stock or too little, and neither scenario allowed us to run the dispensary efficiently. Drug bills were high every month, and glitches in the system sometimes resulted in excessively large volumes of medication.
When a locum told me about Drug Comparison, it sounded too good to be true. He logged on and showed me his ordering page, and I instantly saw how it could help us.
We have been using Drug Comparison for a year now, and it’s exactly what we needed. We can see availability, replies, tariff prices, concessions, and get alerts if we can save money by changing to a different pack size, plus much more. All the staff love it.
From a managerial perspective, the reporting features are incredibly easy to use. I can see which suppliers my spending is with and manage operations to work most efficiently.
You can tell it has been designed by someone who truly understands the problems we face when ordering stock. It’s exactly what we needed.

Hi, I’m Faz from Hanley Pharmacy. I had many problems ordering stock from various suppliers in the past, but with DC, my life has become much easier. I can now rely entirely on DC to source the cheapest products, as well as the most viable options, especially with rising costs and shrinking margins.
The software is simple to use and highly effective. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate. I would highly recommend DC to all pharmacies.
Fawad Mehroof

I like that Drug Comparison is clearly aimed at solving real problems for pharmacies, such as saving time, reducing ordering mistakes, and providing visibility into costs and stock. Their homepage explains that the tool helps avoid “wasting time checking prices across supplier websites or telephone orders” and prevents “ordering lines above the Drug Tariff” or duplicate stock orders.
I also appreciate that the platform offers real-time price comparisons across “all major wholesalers.” This makes it easier to pick the cheapest option quickly and to account for pack-size optimizations or generic versus brand choices, which can help save money.
Additionally, I like that it integrates with existing PMR systems, supports barcode scanning via mobile, and is workflow-friendly, so pharmacies don’t have to overhaul their entire process just to use the tool.

Drug Comparison has allowed us to stop worrying about whether we are getting the lowest price for drugs. It also provides a clear indication of whether we are making a loss or a profit on each drug. It saves time and brings cost-effectiveness and efficiency, which is extremely important in today’s world!
Noor Ali Shah

The wholesale ordering application provides a streamlined and efficient platform for managing procurement across multiple suppliers. Its intuitive interface allows users to compare product availability, pricing, and delivery timelines in real time. The ability to view multiple wholesalers side-by-side significantly improves ordering accuracy and reduces time spent on administrative tasks.
The system’s integration features, such as automated stock level updates, order history tracking, and invoice reconciliation, enhance operational transparency and support better inventory planning. Additionally, notifications for stock changes and shipment updates provide valuable oversight during busy periods.
Overall, the application delivers a reliable and well-organised solution for pharmacies and healthcare businesses seeking to optimise their supply chain and maintain consistent product availability.
