System Requirements Document for Medicine

Introduction

This document outlines the system requirements for the "medicine" project, a software solution designed for pharmacies. The system aims to manage medicine records and facilitate billing processes efficiently.

System Overview

The "medicine" project is a comprehensive system tailored for pharmacies to streamline their operations. The primary focus is on managing medicine records and handling billing functionalities. The system will ensure accurate record-keeping and efficient billing processes, enhancing the overall pharmacy management experience.

Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a Pharmacist, I should be able to add new medicine records to the system.
• As a Pharmacist, I should be able to update existing medicine records.
• As a Pharmacist, I should be able to delete medicine records that are no longer needed.
• As a Pharmacist, I should be able to search for medicine records using various filters such as name, category, or expiry date.
• As a Pharmacist, I should be able to generate and print bills for customers.
• As a Pharmacist, I should be able to view and manage billing history.
• As a Pharmacist, I should be able to apply discounts and offers during billing.
• As a Pharmacist, I should be able to manage customer information for billing purposes.

User Personas

• Pharmacist: The primary user responsible for managing medicine records and handling billing processes.
• Customer: The end-user who purchases medicines and receives bills.

Core User Flows

• Pharmacist logs into the system -> adds/updates/deletes medicine records -> searches for specific medicines -> generates a bill for a customer -> applies discounts if applicable -> prints the bill -> updates billing history.
• Customer purchases medicine -> Pharmacist processes the transaction -> Customer receives the bill.

Signature Design Concept

Interactive Medicine Shelf

The homepage will feature an interactive medicine shelf where users can click on different medicine bottles to view detailed information. Each bottle will animate with a slight tilt and shadow effect when hovered over, using motion/react for smooth transitions. The shelf will have a 3D effect, giving users a realistic experience of browsing through a pharmacy. When a bottle is clicked, it will "pop out" with a detailed view, including medicine details, pricing, and stock availability.

LANDING HERO MOTION BRIEF

The landing hero will depict a dynamic pharmacy counter scene where medicine bottles are organized, and a digital bill is generated in real-time. The animation will show a pharmacist scanning medicines, which then appear on a digital bill. This loop will last 10 seconds, illustrating the seamless integration of medicine management and billing. The scene will use motion/react for fluid animations, ensuring an engaging user experience.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Intended Interaction Model: Animated
• The landing page will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions. Interactive elements will have spring physics for a polished look. This model is ideal for showcasing the features of the pharmacy system in an engaging manner.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The system should ensure data security and privacy for all medicine records and billing information.
• The system should be scalable to accommodate a growing number of records and transactions.
• The system should provide high availability and reliability to support pharmacy operations.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python with FastAPI
• Database: MySQL or MariaDB, with alembic for migrations
• AI Models: Not applicable
• AI Tools: Not applicable
• Local Orchestration: Docker
• Server-side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The system will be used primarily by pharmacists in India, considering local currency and timezone settings.
• The system will integrate with existing pharmacy management software if required.
• The system will comply with local regulations regarding pharmacy operations and data protection.

Glossary

• Pharmacist: A healthcare professional who dispenses medications and advises on their use.
