Introduction

In the fast-paced and highly regulated medical equipment industry, efficiency, compliance, and precision are non-negotiable. AH Distributors — a trusted medical equipment supplier for hospitals across Pakistan — faced an operational bottleneck caused by manual paperwork, slow order processing, and compliance challenges. To overcome these issues and enter a new era of digital efficiency, AH Distributors partnered with BG Digit, a leading digital solutions company specializing in enterprise automation, cloud systems, and custom software development.

The result was the development and deployment of a fully customized Digital ERP System, designed specifically for medical equipment suppliers. This solution transformed AH Distributors into a paper-free, fully digitized, transparent, and compliant organization, complete with seamless FBR Digital Invoicing System integration.

Background: Challenges Faced by AH Distributors

As a growing supplier in the healthcare equipment sector, AH Distributors managed a large number of:

• Hospital purchase orders

• Supplier invoices

• Stock entries

• Medical equipment certifications

• Warranty and service documentation

• Delivery challans

• Sales invoices

Before digitization, these processes were entirely paper-based, resulting in:

1. Delayed Operations

Manual invoice creation, record-keeping, and approvals slowed down order fulfillment, affecting their service delivery to hospitals.

2. Errors and Data Mismatches

Paper documentation made it difficult to track mistakes, duplicate entries, or incorrect stock updates.

3. Lack of Centralized Visibility

Sales teams, warehouse staff, and management had no unified dashboard to monitor business performance, inventory levels, or pending orders.

4. Compliance Struggles

Keeping track of tax invoices, maintaining accurate documentation, and aligning with FBR’s digital regulations became increasingly complex.

5. Difficulty in Scaling

With operations expanding, paper files and manual workflows became an obstacle to growth.

BG Digit’s Solution: A Tailored Digital ERP System

Understanding the unique nature of medical equipment distribution, BG Digit built a fully customized Digital ERP that automated every major process in AH Distributors’ business pipeline.

Core Modules Developed by BG Digit

1. Inventory & Stock Management Module

2. Purchase Order & Supplier Management

• Digitized purchase order creation

• Instant PO approval flows
