Do you know these problems?

Manual maintenance eats the week

The manual effort for several hundred preparations is simply too high.

Head of pharmacy, hospital pharmacy

Every preparation checked by hand is a small task that never ends, because the market keeps moving underneath it. The work does not produce anything new, it only stops the article master from drifting, so it is easy to defer and expensive to skip. It stays manual because no single tool owns the comparison, so a person does.

Article data falls behind the market

We constantly have to adapt our article master data to market changes, for example to new PZNs or article changes.

Data operations, international aid organisation

The article master is only ever as current as the last update someone remembered to make. New PZNs appear, existing products change and discontinued ones linger, all outside your organisation and none of it announced to you. When the data quietly falls behind, it surfaces later as a wrong order or a miscalculation.

Getting the data in is the hard part

The ERP integration is complex and may require external service providers.

Management, large online pharmacy

Good data still has to land inside your system in a shape it can read, and that step is where the effort hides. A format that does not match means either a manual reworking every cycle or an outside contractor, and both turn a data question into a project. The complexity is not in the data, it is in the last stretch into your system.

Article master data that stays current, with a status on every change

A timeline of a product number moving from new to active to changed to out of distribution, updated daily and kept in the archive database

The platform is updated daily from 25+ databases and only from official sources. Every product carries where it sits in its lifecycle, so a new PZN, a changed article or a discontinued one reaches you as a status rather than as a surprise.

  • New, active, changed and out of distribution flagged per PZN
  • Discontinued products kept in the ABDA-Database Archive instead of dropped
  • Changes picked up as soon as the source, for example IFA, announces them

Upload your PZN list and get back exactly what changed

A customer PZN list uploaded to the PZN individuell check and a change report returned with price and status changes on those articles

You do not have to take the whole market to keep your own list clean. Hand us the PZNs you actually carry and you get a report on the prices and statuses that moved, so the recurring check stops being a manual comparison.

  • PZN lists processed as a batch, not one number at a time
  • Report covers price changes and status changes on your articles
  • Tab separated CSV lists can be used directly

Take the data in your scope, frequency and format

The pharmazie.com service download with scope, frequency and format settings feeding export formats and transfer paths

In the service download you decide which data you take and how often you refresh it, and you define the file format that best suits your system. The file arrives ready to read, not as the starting point for another round of cleanup.

  • Choose the data set instead of taking a full package
  • Formats such as CSV or JSON, delivered by download, SFTP push or web service
  • Supplied under licence from our partners and data suppliers

We can shape the file for your target system

pharmazie.com preparing a custom field layout for a target ERP, with a note that no ready made connector is installed

When your system needs a specific field order or layout, we can prepare it as a service instead of leaving you to reformat every delivery. What we do not have is a ready made connector that installs into SAP, Sage or Navision, so the connection itself is still work on your side.

  • Individual data formats and field order built for your target system
  • Onboarding and data services to lower the setup effort
  • No plug and play ERP connector, the import logic lives in your system

Keep your article master in sync with the market

pharmazie.com keeps your article master data current from official sources, so you stop reconciling several hundred preparations by hand. The platform is updated daily from 25+ pharmaceutical databases, including the ABDA article master data (German Drug Pricing), and every product carries a status on where it stands, so a change to a PZN, a price or an authorisation reaches you as a flag rather than as a surprise at month end.

Upload your PZN list and get back what changed

You do not have to take the whole market to keep your own list clean. Hand over the PZNs you actually carry and you get a report on exactly what moved: prices, status, and the products that were discontinued or replaced. This is the PZN individuell function, and it turns a manual comparison across systems into one file you can act on.

Take the data in your scope, frequency and format

In the service download you decide which fields you take, how often you refresh them, and the file format your system reads. Where your target system needs a specific field order or layout, we can prepare the file as a service instead of leaving your team to reformat every delivery. The point is that the data lands ready for import, not ready for another round of cleanup.

How the data reaches your ERP

Two routes cover most setups. You can pull live queries through our API, or receive automated deliveries by SFTP push in formats such as CSV or JSON. Which one fits depends on how your system prefers to receive data, and that is a question worth settling before a project starts rather than during it.

What we say plainly before you commit

Two honest limits belong on this page. To use the ABDA raw data you need an Avoxa licence, formerly ABDA, and that fee comes from the data source, not from us: our role is the technical delivery. The standard export is capped at 5,000 PZNs per export for licensing reasons, and larger volumes run under a separate raw data arrangement.

The fastest way to judge fit is a 30-minute demo on your data. Bring the PZN list you maintain today and we will show you exactly what a synced delivery would return.

I work with the German Drug Pricing module every day. Dapou Pharma is a pharmaceutical wholesaler and parallel distributor and needs access to reliable and up-to-date drug prices. The best thing about pharmazie.com is that you always know which product is marketed in which country. The contact details of drug manufacturers and marketing authorization holders are also very helpful.

I currently use pharmazie.com several times a week to access the ABDA database/German SMPC drug lexicon, the archive of discontinued drugs, and international SMPC drugs. This allows me to stay up to date. I am very satisfied with the platform provided by pharmazie.com, thanks to the team!
We use the ABDA database of German finished medicinal products and international medicinal products to offer our customers, in particular pharmacies and hospitals, international procurement options for medicinal products that are not available locally (in Germany, for example, individual imports in accordance with Section 73.3 of the German Medicinal Products Act (AMG)). Thank you very much for your fast and excellent service!
The use of the ABDA database CAVE and the ABDA database Interactions is very valuable for teaching at the Pharmacological Institute because there is no other complete directory of all drugs approved in Germany. There is also no other program as good and reliable as the Cave and Interaction modules for testing for interactions, which we regularly use as part of the course tasks.
We are a supplier of medical practice supplies and use the platform for the pricing strategy of health insurance companies. We are very satisfied with pharmazie.com, because they are fast, easy to find and all products can be found through the free text search.
