The problem

Where a chemists’ association loses time

District and taluka associations of medical stores hit the same walls once membership grows past a few hundred shops.

Licence copies everywhere

Drug licence, GST and shop documents arrive as photos in chats or paper files, and nobody can find last year’s copy when a member needs a letter.

Annual fees chased by phone

The treasurer calls shop after shop in the renewal month, writes receipts by hand and then matches bank entries against a notebook.

A member list nobody trusts

Shops change hands, pharmacists change and new stores open in the next lane. The list on the office computer is rarely the latest one.

Circulars get buried

Scheme updates, distributor notices and meeting calls are forwarded so many times that members still ask the secretary to send them again.

Meetings without a record

Attendance at the general body meeting or a training session is a signature sheet that is hard to tally and easy to lose.

Hand-over every term

When office bearers change, files, passwords and payment history move in a carry bag, and some of it never arrives.

How Associan helps

Everything a chemists’ association office handles, in one app

Each card below is a feature that is live in Associan today.

Joining form for medical stores

A new chemist applies from their phone with store name, owner, address, GST and PAN. There is no paper form to collect from the counter.

Licence and GST copies on file

The documents your committee asks for, such as the drug licence, GST certificate and a shop photo, are uploaded with the application and stay on the member record.

Committee check before approval

The secretary reviews each application and its documents, then approves it or sends it back with a note.

Annual fee paid online

Members pay by UPI or card. Cash and cheques collected at the office are recorded against the same member.

Receipts that issue themselves

Every payment creates a numbered PDF receipt in your association’s name, so nobody writes receipt books any more.

Circulars on one notice board

Post scheme updates, distributor notices and meeting calls once. Members read them in the app instead of digging through old forwards.

A month with Associan

How the renewal month looks for the secretary

In the first week, the secretary filters the stores whose membership ends this quarter and sends one email broadcast with the fee and payment link. Stores that renew online get a receipt straight away, and their status moves from due to active without anyone touching a register.

Over the next two weeks, the office records the cash and cheque payments that come in at the counter. The treasurer opens the payments report, sees who has paid and who has not, and exports the list for the committee meeting instead of preparing it by hand.

By the end of the month, renewed members download their certificate and member pass from the app. The committee walks into its meeting with one current list of medical stores, and the next term inherits it as it is.

Where Chemists & Druggists associations use it

  • New store registration. A chemist opening a new shop joins online and uploads licence copies before the next meeting.
  • Annual renewals. See which stores are due, send reminder emails and take the fee online.
  • Directory of member stores. Members search by area to find nearby stores and their contact details.
  • Training sessions. Register pharmacists, check them in with the QR pass and keep the attendance.
  • Certificates for members. Each active store gets a membership certificate PDF in the association’s name.
  • Committee hand-over. Office bearers and staff logins change while the records stay in place.

Case study · National operator association

How All India Car Rentals runs its association on Associan

AICR moved operator joining, fee collection, certificates and chapter-meet check-in onto one white-label app with its own name, logo and CIN on every PDF. Applications, document checks and payments that used to live in WhatsApp groups and spreadsheets now sit in one place the committee can see.

FAQ

Chemists & Druggists association software: FAQs

What does chemists and druggists association software do?
It keeps your member medical stores, their documents, fee payments, receipts, renewals, circulars and meetings in one system that both the committee and members use.
Can members upload their drug licence with the application?
Yes. During setup we configure the documents your association asks for, such as the drug licence, GST certificate and a shop photo, and members upload them with the joining form.
Can we collect annual fees online and still accept cash?
Yes. Members pay by UPI or card through Razorpay, and the office records cash or cheque payments against the same member, so the payments report stays complete.
How are renewal reminders sent?
Associan tracks the end date of every membership and sends renewal reminder emails. You can also email a group, for example every store whose membership ends this month.
Can retail and wholesale members pay different fees?
Yes. Create membership types with their own fee, renewal fee and duration, such as retail chemist, wholesale chemist or associate member.
We are a small taluka association. Is it worth it?
Small associations feel the work most, because one or two volunteers do everything. Setup takes about a day and we help move your existing member list from Excel.
How do we see a demo?
