Do you know these problems?

The processing step nobody wants

We process data every two weeks to analyse price developments. We see the annoying processing step as the main problem that could be solved.

Data service provider for pharma

When price monitoring lives in a manual export and reconcile routine, every fortnightly cycle costs the same hours again. The work does not scale with the number of PZNs you follow, it multiplies. And because that step sits between the data source and the decision, it quietly delays everything downstream.

No single view of the competition

We are looking for the eBay of the pharma industry, for the lowest prices of competitors.

Managing Director, medical device importer

Competitor prices are scattered across sources, sold in fragments, or simply not laid out in one place. Without a single market view you compare what you happen to find rather than what is actually out there. The lowest price that matters for a tender is exactly the one that is hardest to assemble by hand.

Only today's price, never the history

We need insight into how prices have developed historically, not just the current status.

Analytics consultant for pharma

A current price answers what a product costs today, not how it got there. Reference pricing, launch benchmarks and pattern analysis all need the earlier values, and those are the ones scattered across old exports. When the series breaks, the analysis starts with reconstruction instead of insight.

Upload your PZN list, get one clear overview

A messy spreadsheet on the left and a clean colour coded result table on the right, showing each PZN with its current price and latest change

PZN individuell takes the list you already work with and turns it into one consolidated view instead of a manual reconciliation. PharMonitor then watches that base for you and reports what moved, so a large article set no longer has to be checked line by line.

  • Upload your own PZN list and get a single consolidated overview
  • PharMonitor reports price changes, new introductions and distribution status every 14 days
  • Official German prices updated twice a month
  • Filter out reimports and veterinary products when you do not need them

See how a price got here, not just where it is

A price history line over several years with two event markers, one for a reference price change and one for a generic entry

Price history is part of the product, so you can follow how a price developed rather than reading a single current figure. It is the layer you need for reference pricing, launch benchmarks and pattern analysis.

  • Follow the development of a price beyond its current status
  • See the original launch price for price comparisons
  • Read prices in the context of Festbetrag and reference price changes
  • Review the historical development of supply shortages

One market overview: who sells what, at which price

An iceberg with one German product at the tip and international equivalents revealed below the waterline

The iceberg search starts from one German product and surfaces its international equivalents, so the competitive picture is not limited to what you already know. Price data is available for Germany and some further EU countries, not EU-wide; more countries will be added in the coming months. The article master search with a competitor filter turns scattered lookups into a single market view.

  • Iceberg search reveals international equivalents from one product, with prices for Germany and some further EU countries (not EU-wide)
  • Article master search with a competitor filter, built on the ABDA article master
  • Article data across 50+ markets
  • See who is where and with which prices, in one overview

Check rebate contract coverage per product and fund

A schematic map of Germany with rebate contract coverage shown as a percentage per region for one product

The rebate contract database shows which products are under contract with which sick funds, so coverage is something you can look up rather than piece together. Combined with the published price layer it gives you the building blocks for a net price analysis.

  • Rebate contract coverage per product and sick fund
  • Find PZNs with rebate coverage below a threshold you set
  • Published price and statutory discount layers alongside the contract view
  • The building blocks for net price analysis, not the confidential final figure

Monitor drug prices and competitors in one search

pharmazie.com is a B2B drug database that lets pricing, market access and purchasing teams track German drug prices and their competitors in a single search. You follow price changes, read the full price history behind a product, and check rebate contract coverage, without reconciling several exports by hand. Official German drug prices are updated twice a month, drawn only from official sources.

See how a price got here, not just where it stands today

A single current figure tells you little about where a price is heading. Price history is part of every product record, so you can follow how a price developed over time rather than reconstructing it from old lists. That matters when you have to explain a rebate difference to a sick fund, or defend where your own product sits against the market.

Turn your PZN list into one clear overview

Most monitoring work still runs as a fortnightly reconciliation in Excel. Upload the PZN list you already keep and the platform returns a consolidated view of what changed: prices, status and the products that moved. The Pharmonitor tracks the German market on a fixed cycle, so the manual processing step stops being the job.

Put a price in its competitive context

A price only means something next to the alternatives. Start from one German product and the parallel search surfaces its equivalents and their prices, including reimports listed with their own PZN, so you compare the original, the generics and the import in one place. The rebate contract database shows which products sit under contract with which funds.

What price monitoring here will not do

Two honest limits. You will not see a price before the data provider officially publishes it, which typically happens shortly before it takes effect. And this is not a market research service: sales volumes, market shares and channel figures are not what these databases hold. What you get is the published price picture and its history, deeper and in one place.

The fastest way to judge fit is a 30-minute demo on your data, not ours. Bring the PZN list you monitor today and we will run it live.

More clarity, faster research, and faster decision-making.

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.

Questions we often hear in demos

Can I know about price changes before they are officially published?
What is the difference between the reimbursement price, the tender price and the net price?
Can you quantify how much time or money this saves us?
Can I see historical stock-out data of competitors to recognise patterns and intentions?
We cannot legally stop reimports, we only want to know their prices. Are they in the data?
Do you provide sales figures, sales volumes and distribution channels?
Since 1989, over 1,000 customers have placed their trust in our data.
