What PRATICIMA does

PRATICIMA is a French manufacturer of medical equipment and care furniture specializing in the medication circuit and care flow management for healthcare establishments. The company traces its heritage to 1984 (PRATICDOSE) and was formed in its current shape through the 2015 merger of PRATICDOSE, CIMA (founded 1993), and the equipment division of SEBAC Adhésia (acquired 2014). It operates two production sites in France—Reyrieux (headquarters, near Lyon) and Avranches (Manche)—with 95 employees assembling more than 5,000 structures per year from approximately 7,000 stocked component references across 6,500 m² of building footprint. The company claims to equip half of all EHPADs in France and serves three primary customer segments: hospitals and clinics, medico-social establishments (EHPAD, FAM, MAS), and community pharmacies, with a commercial presence in more than 50 countries.

The product portfolio is organized around three solution categories: Solutions médico-sociales, Solutions hospitalières, and Solutions officinales. The flagship integrated offering is the Pili dose preparation (PDA) system, which bundles Pili Soft traceability SaaS software (HDS-certified hosting, Datamatrix scanning, bidirectional interface with third-party care software, BPM medication review functionality) with secured pill organizers (Pili, Pili 4.21, Pili Home), unit dose repackaging, Pili Box transport cassettes, and Neop distribution carts for end-to-end medication management from pharmacy to patient bedside. Supporting product lines include the Neop modular furniture range (storage cabinets, distribution carts, wall units, linen carts), the Neop Lock motorized curtain with badge-secured locking (2025 innovation highlight), the EasyMoove motorization system for ergonomic push-assist, the Severo electric pill crusher, the Satellite multisensory Snoezelen care cart, Samarit transfer boards, the Dolcimo pill organizer range, C2S Pro dental prosthetic cleaning systems, and IP100/IP200 mobile medical computer stations. GESTION'R provides recurring service revenue through technical park audits and preventive maintenance contracts. Certifications include ISO 9001 (Afnor), EcoVadis Gold medal (top 5%), HDS health data hosting, and VALDELIA membership.

Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of medical equipment and modular furniture, supplemented by GESTION'R professional services for technical audits and preventive maintenance, and recurring subscription revenue from the Pili Soft SaaS platform. Go-to-market relies on a specialized direct sales force segmented by vertical (hospital, medico-social, pharmacy, export), a network of distributors covering more than 50 countries, and reference agreements with the three major French public procurement centrales—UGAP (20+ year partnership), UniHA, and RESAH. Pricing is handled through customized quotes rather than public list prices, consistent with mid-to-large enterprise deal sizes. The company is a privately held French Société Anonyme with no disclosed parent, external investors, or public revenue figures, and a registered share capital of €552,850.
