Frequently asked questions
Answers based on what the application does today.
What is e-Pulse?
e-Pulse is a web application for pharmaceutical distributors. It manages batch-wise inventory and expiry, sales and purchase documents, returns, accounts and head-office oversight, with an optional ERP integration layer.
Who can sign in, and what are the portals?
There are two portals with separate sign-ins: a Distributor portal for day-to-day operations and an Admin portal for head-office oversight. A Distributor sign-in does not grant access to the Admin portal. There is no separate retailer portal; retailers are master-data records.
How does batch and expiry handling work?
Goods receipt creates batches with manufacturing and expiry dates. Stock is derived from a movement ledger, so balances can be viewed by product and batch. Near-expiry and expired-stock screens help you act early.
What is FEFO?
First-Expiry-First-Out. When stock is delivered against a sales order, batches that expire earliest are allocated first.
Does it integrate with SAP or other ERPs?
An ERP integration module is implemented — connections, sync jobs, history, error monitor and audit log — and has been tested against simulated ERP responses. It has not yet been verified against a live ERP system, and invoice, return and document sync are not available yet. Support for Oracle, Dynamics and SOAP is not provided. The application runs fully standalone without an ERP.
How is data protected?
Sessions use httpOnly cookies; Distributor data is scoped to the signed-in Distributor and covered by cross-tenant tests; the Admin portal uses its own signing secret and fails closed if it is not configured; sign-in and sensitive endpoints are rate limited; error responses do not expose stack traces or SQL. No security review or certification is claimed on this page.
Does it support GST?
Documents use HSN-based GST rates, with CGST/SGST versus IGST handling and rounding. Tax configuration should be reviewed against your own compliance requirements.
