The two financial areas that matter most to a pharmacy
Supplier payments and NHIS billing are the areas where financial management either works or falls apart.
Settle every supplier on time without chasing invoices
Pharmacies deal with dozens of drug and consumable suppliers. Without a system, invoices pile up and payments are late or inconsistent. Niimbu tracks every obligation, schedules payments and maintains a full audit trail from order to settlement.
- Supplier directory with payment history and balances
- Scheduled payments so drug suppliers are settled on time
- Purchase records with dates and agreed rates
- Running cost tracking per supplier over time
Track NHIS and HMO claims from submission to payment
Niimbu tracks claims from the moment they are submitted through to settlement. You see exactly what is owed, by whom and when it is due — without maintaining separate spreadsheets for each billing channel.
- NHIS claim generation in the format the scheme requires
- HMO pre-authorisation tracking and submission status
- Payment reconciliation across NHIS, HMO and private channels
- Running receivables dashboard showing what is owed and what is overdue
We built Niimbu because pharmacies in Nigeria were losing money to manual supplier tracking and late NHIS claims.
Every feature, from expense cards to NHIS billing, exists because a real pharmacy told us it mattered.
Pharmacy finance questions, answered
Everything you need to know about the financial side of running a pharmacy on Niimbu.
Does Niimbu replace our dispensing system?
No. Niimbu is the financial layer that works alongside your dispensing system. Your existing system for drug inventory, NAFDAC compliance and batch tracking stays exactly where it is. Niimbu handles the money side — supplier payments, staff payroll, expense tracking and NHIS billing.
Does it support NHIS and HMO billing?
Yes. You can generate NHIS claims, track HMO submissions, and reconcile payments from both channels alongside private patient payments. All billing streams are tracked from submission through to payment received.
Can I track supplier invoices and payments?
Yes. Every supplier invoice is recorded with its details, tracked against payment and maintained with a full audit trail. You can compare quotes, schedule payments and see exactly what is owed and what has been settled at any time.
How do expense cards work for pharmacy purchases?
You issue a card to a pharmacist or procurement staff member. Every purchase of stock, consumables or supplies is automatically categorised and receipted. At month end you can see exactly what was spent, on what, and by whom, without chasing paper receipts.
Can I manage stock across multiple pharmacy locations?
Niimbu tracks the financial side of stock — supplier costs and purchase orders. For physical inventory tracking across multiple locations, you would use your dispensing system alongside Niimbu.
Does Niimbu track drug batches and expiry dates?
Niimbu tracks the financial side — supplier payments and purchase costs. For batch tracking, expiry dates and NAFDAC compliance, you would use your existing dispensing or inventory system alongside Niimbu.
Does Niimbu handle controlled substance logging?
Niimbu tracks the financial transactions related to controlled substances — supplier payments and cost tracking. For dispensing logs and regulatory compliance records, you would use your existing dispensing system alongside Niimbu.
What does it cost to get started?
Opening an account is free and there is no monthly platform fee. Supplier payments, payroll and expense tracking are included from the first day. You pay transaction fees only when money moves — supplier settlements, salaries and expense payments.
How long does it take to set up a pharmacy on Niimbu?
