CII HERO gives independent pharmacies a faster C-II compliance workflow without the friction of cloud tools or the headache of paper binders. It is built to make daily controlled-substance work faster and easier to defend.
CII HERO is designed to make day-to-day C-II work faster without giving up the controls that matter when questions come up later.
Move through daily C-II work with fewer clicks, less navigation, and less browser-style friction.
Get routine counts done with less interruption, while keeping the record trail organized and easy to review.
Use a focused workflow for biennial inventory instead of forcing a high-stakes task through a generic screen.
Keep destruction records organized, traceable, and ready for reverse distributors with a dedicated queue and one-click report.
CII HERO is built for independent pharmacies that need both speed on the workstation and records that hold up under review.
Track every dispense, receipt, return, correction, and destruction. Running balance updates in real time.
SHA-256 hash chain links every record. If anyone alters a record, the app can detect that the chain no longer matches.
TIER 1/2/3 classification based on variance percentage. Thefts and losses auto-route to escalation workflows.
Corrections, destructions, and discrepancies require a second set of eyes — with digital co-signatures.
Isolate items in a destruction queue and generate the dedicated reverse-distributor handoff report in one click.
Move through routine cycle counts quickly and use a dedicated workflow when it is time for biennial inventory.
5-point checklist for every C-II receipt, with vendor-agnostic bulk receipt intake available through CSV import.
Current inventory, perpetual log, discrepancy history, destruction events — exportable to HTML, PDF, and CSV.
Pending corrections, open discrepancies, board notifications, and investigation timelines — all in one view for the pharmacist-in-charge.
Install CII HERO on a dedicated Windows workstation near the safe or primary C-II workflow.
Enter pharmacy details, create staff access, and run onboarding to capture starting balances cleanly.
Move through receipts, dispenses, counts, and follow-up work in one focused local workflow.
Generate reports in seconds and keep the traceability needed for inspections, audits, and reverse-distributor handoff.
CII HERO was created by a pharmacist with years of independent pharmacy experience — the same paper binders, handwritten counts, and "I hope this holds up in an audit" anxiety that you deal with every day. This isn't enterprise software designed by people who've never stood behind the counter. It's built from real pharmacy workflows — because the person who built it lives them.
One product. No setup fee. No long-term contract.
