We built a full-stack pharmacy app using Flutter for iOS and Android, backed by a Laravel API. Patients can upload prescriptions, search medicines, see generic alternatives, schedule refills, and track deliveries—while pharmacies manage stock, orders, and approvals from a single backend.
The Flutter client uses a layered architecture with advanced state management, offline-friendly carts, and smooth animations. On the backend, role-based workflows handle pharmacist approvals, controlled medicines, real-time inventory across branches, and integration hooks for existing pharmacy systems and insurers.
The brand moved from phone-based orders to a structured digital funnel, with better adherence (refills, reminders) and higher repeat purchases from chronic patients.
Before the app, the pharmacy chain faced:
We delivered a prescription-aware Flutter commerce flow:
The pharmacy app now:
The app uses a modern Flutter client talking to a Laravel-based backend, with clear separation between patient-facing UX, pharmacist workflows, and delivery operations.
Guided prescription upload with cropping, multi-page support, and metadata capture to allow future OCR/AI assistance for pharmacists.
Structured data model for brands, generics, and strengths so pharmacists can suggest safe, stock-available alternatives within the app.
Carts, recent searches, and saved addresses cached locally (Hive/Sqflite) so users can build orders even with unstable networks.
Optional PIN/biometric lock for health-related sections (prescriptions, history, and addresses), aligned with privacy expectations.
CI/CD pipelines manage signed builds and environment configs, while feature flags allow the team to roll out new flows (insurance, loyalty, teleconsults) incrementally.
