The Dispensing Platform (DP) is designed by Justin Hextall, BSc(Hons), LicAc, DipCHM, DipTCM(Ob/Gyn), MBAcC, MRCHM, for other herbalists and dispensaries. Running a dispensary isn’t easy, and typical script writing can take 10 to 15 steps from concept to writing, filing, fulfilling, etc. to receiving payment.

DP ensures compliance without the paperwork, so you know where every batch goes and what your stock levels are, exactly, making re-ordering a doddle. The intuitive DP dashboard has everything in one place, including your inventory, and can easily be personalised and edited.

Build a formula once, name and save it in your ‘Favourites’ folder so you can adapt and reuse it for another patient with ease. Plus, you can print compliant, branded labels and instructions in seconds, and your pricing is based on herb cost rather than a standard charge, making fee structures fairer for everyone.

The TEAM database provides access to over 80 classic formulas and their adaptations, and advice on doses, substitutions and Pao Zhi  is in ‘Herbal Info’.

For Enterprise dispensaries, DP removes the risk of practitioners duplicating, misspelling, or choosing unavailable herbs (as well as forgetting doses, addresses, or other details needed), and automatically keeps tabs on batch numbers, making dispensing quicker, easier and safer.
