A trust eye hospital in Chishtian had software its vendor wouldn't update or fix. We built its ERP in 6 weeks, then EHMS for the web. Another hospital followed.

The hospital's owner lives in the UK and was flying back within a month. Its software came from a well-known vendor, but it was old PHP code that was hard to change, and the vendor would neither update it nor fix issues when they came up. So most of the real work happened outside it: charity patients, trustee funds, cheques and supplier payments lived in registers and in the heads of senior staff. Any switch had to happen without stopping patient care for a day, and every rupee of zakat and trust money had to stay traceable.
The old vendor would neither update its PHP system nor fix its issues, and the owner had a month before returning to the UK. We asked for six weeks and built a complete desktop ERP in C# with Telerik UI: reusable, loosely coupled modules, an in-memory cache for speed, and a finance core with cheques, payments, a chart of accounts and full reports. We moved the data and the staff across on site, and patient care was not disrupted for a single day. The hospital ran on it for several years.
After several years on the desktop ERP, the client came back and ordered the same system for the web. EHMS adds a guided patient journey, a live OPD queue, separate zakat, sadqa and trust fund ledgers, surgical packages, IPD, a detailed lab, pharmacy, complete procurement, insurance claims, payroll and a clinic edition, in English, Urdu and Arabic. Core workflows run 95% faster, it replaced the desktop app outright, and a second hospital ordered it after seeing it run.

I live in the UK, so my visits to the hospital are short. Our old vendor wouldn't update the software or fix anything when it broke, and I had about a month before my flight back. A friend who runs his housing schemes on Safdar's software sent him to us. He came to Chishtian, sat with our reception and accounts staff for days, and asked for six weeks. Six weeks later the hospital was running on his system, and we didn't close for a single day. We used it for years. When we wanted it on the web, we didn't look anywhere else. What matters most to me is that I can open it from the UK and see exactly where our zakat and charity money has gone.
