Topics we master

Deliver GDP and compliance

End-to-end processes are designed as an auditable quality chain from inbound goods through delivery, returns and complaints.

  • QMS, SOPs, providers and return control
  • Audit and inspection readiness
  • Target-market regulatory alignment

Manage pricing and return

Prices connect product, procurement, competition and logistics data; a single percentage never replaces contribution-margin logic.

  • PZN and competitor monitoring
  • Combine margin, shipping cost and availability
  • Rules for actions, market prices and exceptions

Scale logistics

Packing, cold chain, last mile, integration and partner management are tested and measured before growth.

  • Warehouse and packing design
  • Carrier, temperature and return processes
  • Go-live, hypercare and optimisation

Price comparison and market monitoring

Prices combine net procurement, competition, delivery, payment, returns, campaigns and target contribution rather than copying a competitor.

  • Like-for-like PZN comparison
  • Minimum margin and approval limits
  • Basket, delivery fee and voucher rules
  • Price monitoring and controlled exceptions

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How should an online pharmacy calculate profitable prices?

Combine net procurement, product-level process cost, payment, packaging, delivery, returns, marketing, tax and target margin. Competitor prices are evidence, not a substitute for minimum contribution.
