  • A bespoke system could be something that you’re looking for. The idea is that you’ll get an inventory system built for you from scratch that will look and behave exactly as you describe it and will fit exactly to your business need. This is not the cheapest solution, but could be an investment that will eliminate more than one issue. I am a professional developer specialising in this kind of things and I have helped some business in the past in the similar situation





  • Assuming that I understood correctly, the printing part is easy. You’d need a template for each prescription made in a program that allows you to place text in any position of the sheet. Then each time you want to print you open that file, change the text and print. This will print your text on the document you feed to the printer, which is what I assume you want. Of course the text placement will require some experimentation as the position of the text might print a little different than what you see on the screen. For the second part, I’m assuming you want data (print text) pulled automatically from QB. This would require some software. I don’t know if something like that exists, but I’d personally write a small program that integrates with QB, pulls whatever text you’re after and then creates a pdf template version for relevant prescrption with the retrieved text and saves the file which you’d only have to print. I’m a software engineer and you might not be technical enough to do it yourself, in which case you’d need to find a programmer to do it for you


  • It’s not a solution for everyone as custom software is not cheap, but to me what you described sounds like a good candidate for a custom built system. The idea is that you have one system built from scratch according to your needs and design which does exactly what you want. It could also integrate with some of the technology you’ve mentioned, to keep it synchronised for example. I’m a professional software engineer who specialises in building this types of things
