Most groups know there is friction running ordering across multiple Branches. It is usually one or more of these.
The market shifts and you need stock across the group fast. Without Head Office, the only way to do it is to log into every Branch and place the same order, one Branch at a time. For 10 Branches that is 10 separate logins and 10 separate orders to put through, while the price keeps moving on you. This is where most group time goes, and where the savings usually go with it.
Without Head Office, the buying activity at each Branch is hidden behind a separate login. You do not know what was ordered, what was paid, which supplier was used, or whether a better price was on the table. With no view, there is nothing to audit.
A new supplier deal lands. A pricing rule changes. You apply it once at Head Office, then again at every Branch one at a time, hoping nobody missed an update.
Need a group spend number, a margin breakdown, or a list of lines above tariff? Without Head Office the only way to get any of these is to log into every Branch one at a time, run the report on each, and stitch the numbers together yourself. The result is normally out of date before you finish.
A Branch ordered from the wrong supplier or above tariff. By the time you find out, the order has shipped, the credit window has closed, and nobody can say exactly when the decision was made.
You either accept the manual login routine as the cost of running a group, or your team spends half the week logging in and out of Branches to keep tabs on the buying. When the market moves and you need urgent stock for every Branch, the same thing happens 10 times over for 1 group-wide order. The hours go, and the saving usually goes with them.
Drug Comparison Head Office is the control layer that sits above your Branches. From 1 login you see every Branch, place orders across the group in a single click, and audit any Branch instantly.
Head Office is built around the 4 things group owners do every day, not a feature list.
One consolidated view across the group. Total spend, savings, losses, and exceptions, with Branch-level drilldown when you need it.
When the market shifts and you need urgent stock across the group, you place the order once at Head Office and it goes to every Branch. The Branch-by-Branch login routine ends.
Set it once at Head Office, applied everywhere. Suppliers, rules, modules, and supplier priorities, all managed centrally.
Drop into any Branch directly from Head Office without passing credentials or logging in again. You see what they see, and every action you take is logged in the audit trail.
Head Office is a layer that sits above your Branches, not a replacement for them. Your Branch managers and dispensers keep their own login, their own dashboards, their own day-to-day workflow. Nothing changes for them on day 1.
What changes is that Head Office now sees what every Branch is doing, and you can step in whenever you need to.
20+ reports are available at Head Office. These are the ones group owners run weekly.
How much each supplier is saving you across every Branch, ranked. Spot the suppliers that pull their weight and the ones that do not.
Margin by Branch, supplier, and product group, with the comparison to the rest of the group. The single fastest way to see where margin is leaking.
Every line ordered above tariff, Branch by Branch. The report your area managers want on a Monday morning.
Savings booked from the right pack size, losses from the wrong one. By Branch, by month, with the full audit trail.
When a Branch ordered from a more expensive supplier with a cheaper one available. Every instance, by Branch, by date, by line.
Total order value across all Branches, by supplier, by category, by month. The one number every owner wants on the dashboard.
Drug Comparison is not owned by any wholesaler or buying group. Every supplier is treated on its merits, and every group sees the same comparison data. The platform answers to you, not to a parent company that needs you to order from one place.
Head Office is included with every Drug Comparison subscription. No separate fee, no premium tier, no add-on for the control layer that makes the group work. If you are already paying for Branch licences, you already have it.
Built on a decade of running pharmacies. Drug Comparison has been serving UK community pharmacy since 2015. Every Head Office feature is in the product because a pharmacy group asked for it.
No data migration, no overhaul, no implementation project. If your Branches are already on Drug Comparison, Head Office is a phone call away.
Tell us you want a Head Office login for your group. Email, phone, or in-app. We pick it up the same day.
We attach the Branches you own to your new Head Office account. Nothing changes at Branch level. Your team keeps ordering as normal while we set it up.
You get your Head Office login details and immediate access to every module. Group ordering switches on for early access registrants when it goes live in June.

I am a pharmacist and I own multiple pharmacies. The group owners on Drug Comparison kept telling me the same story. They were spending too much time logging in and out of Branches just to see what each one was doing. The worst was when the market moved and they needed urgent stock across the group. By the time they had logged into all 10 Branches and placed the same order 10 times over, the price had usually moved or the stock had gone. I built Head Office to put a stop to all of it. From 1 login you see every Branch, audit any of them in a click, and place a group order across all the Branches at once. I built it the way I would want to use it for my own pharmacies.
Group Ordering switches on for early access registrants in June. Drug Comparison customers go to the top of the queue. Register now to be ready, or book a 30-minute demo if you want to see the rest of Head Office before then.
