What PharmINFO does

PharmINFO spol. s r.o. is a Slovak private company founded in 2006 that operates ADC Číselník, the centralized pharmaceutical product database for Slovakia, and ADCNet., the standard B2B communication platform built on top of it. The ADC Číselník contains more than 35,000 products — medicines, supplements, cosmetics, and medical devices — with up to 120 data fields each, assigned unique immutable ADC Kód identifiers that enable unambiguous product identification and electronic trading across the pharmaceutical supply chain. ADCNet. provides the interoperability layer (CodeBook local copy, AOS automated ordering, TOS transfer ordering, SO sales order) that links pharmacy information systems (LIS), distributors, and manufacturers; data is updated multiple times daily and displayed in pharmacy systems in under one second.

The company's product portfolio is structured as a platform-plus-modules architecture. Beyond the core database and ADCNet. platform, PharmINFO sells ADC NobelKOMPLET (pharmacy-side electronic ordering and professional information display, covering >98% of Slovak pharmacies), ADC eOrdering (transfer order management for 80+ pharmaceutical companies, processing 500,000+ orders and 14M products annually), ADC Trends (weekly sell-out analytics from 95% of pharmacies), ADC DataPLUS (data feeds for online pharmacies), ADC Premium Pack (in-pharmacy promotion), ADC Kampaň (mass campaign distribution), ADC Elektronické dodacie listy (electronic delivery notes), ADC Interakcie (drug-interaction verification), ADC Education (professional training), ADC Kde kúpiť (consumer price comparison), and the Systém centrálneho zalistovania (SCZ) for product registration. Customers include pharmacy chains (Dr.Max, BENU), major distributors (Phoenix, Unipharma, Viapharma), global manufacturers (Teva, Sanofi, GSK, Bayer, Eli Lilly), medical device companies (Hartmann), consumer health (Essity), and 50+ online pharmacies.

PharmINFO's revenue model is B2B subscription and usage-based: recurring monthly and annual license fees for database access, per-product listing and maintenance fees (€37.54 listing, €8.42/year maintenance, €6,480/year VIP flat rate), per-user or per-seat fees for eOrdering (€1,990/year for 6 users), module add-on subscriptions (€380/month Trends basic, €643/year DataPLUS, €800/year Premium Pack), and per-click fees (€0.22/click). One-time activation fees (€3,200 for Číselník, €730 for eOrdering) provide upfront revenue. GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven, with dedicated department contacts for each product line and deep LIS-vendor partnerships enabling channel distribution to 98% of pharmacies. Geographic scope is currently Slovakia only, with no disclosed international expansion.

Broad incumbents

• IQVIA: Global leader in pharmaceutical data, analytics, and market intelligence, including prescription and sell-out data, sales-force-effectiveness tools, and electronic data interchange. Compares to PharmINFO's ADC Trends analytics product in particular, but operates at vastly larger scale and broader geographic scope.
• CompuGroup Medical: Largest European e-health company with deep pharmacy IT solutions, electronic ordering, and medication database services across Germany, Austria, and other markets. Comparable to PharmINFO in serving pharmacies with integrated data and ordering workflows, but at significantly larger scale and across multiple geographies.

Direct peers

• Cegedim: French health-technology company providing pharmacy data, electronic ordering, and CRM/ERP solutions to the pharmaceutical supply chain across Europe. Closest comparable business model to PharmINFO at a larger, multi-country scale, including a centralized pharmacy product database and electronic ordering services for pharmacies, distributors, and manufacturers.
• Dosing GmbH: German pharmaceutical information service provider specializing in medication databases, drug-interaction checking, and clinical decision support for pharmacies and physicians. Comparable to ADC Interakcie and ADC Číselník data services in Germany, focused specifically on drug information for healthcare professionals.
• Pharmagest Interactive: French pharmacy IT solutions provider offering pharmacy management software, electronic ordering, and centralized product data services to thousands of pharmacies in France. Direct functional analog to PharmINFO's ADC NobelKOMPLET and ADC Číselník product lines, with a similar LIS-centric pharmacy data infrastructure model.
• ABDA Datenbank: German Federal Union of Pharmacists Associations operates a centralized pharmaceutical product database used by pharmacies across Germany, similar in regulatory alignment and national-database role to PharmINFO's ADC Číselník in Slovakia. Direct functional analog as a national pharmacy data authority, though operated as an association initiative rather than a private company.
• ifap (CompuGroup Medical): German provider of centralized pharmaceutical product databases (ifap praxisCENTER, ifap index) feeding pharmacy and physician software with drug information, interactions, and pricing data. Closest functional analog to ADC Číselník in Germany, serving similar pharmacist and prescriber use cases via integration with pharmacy systems.

Regional players

• EMIS Group: UK healthcare IT provider serving pharmacies, GPs, and hospitals with clinical software and data services. Comparable as a regional pharmacy IT and healthcare data platform, but geographically focused on UK rather than Central Europe and broader in clinical scope than PharmINFO.

Emerging players

• BD Rowa: Pharmacy automation and storage solutions provider (BD's Rowa Technologies) serving retail pharmacies across Europe. Adjacent to PharmINFO's pharmacy-channel business but focused on physical automation rather than data and ordering infrastructure; comparable customer base in retail pharmacy IT decision-makers.
• Omnicell: US pharmacy automation and data analytics company providing medication management, pharmacy operations software, and centralized data services to health systems and retail pharmacies. Comparable in serving pharmacy operations with software and data, but primarily US-focused and more weighted toward automation than supply-chain data interoperability.
