What Toniq does
Toniq Limited is a New Zealand-based software company founded in 1997 that develops pharmacy dispensing and retail point-of-sale solutions for community pharmacies, retail stores, and aged-care facilities across New Zealand, the Cook Islands, Samoa, and Fiji. The company operates as a subsidiary of Lanas Group, a global healthcare technology conglomerate that acquired Toniq in April 2017 as part of its ANZ Division. Toniq's product portfolio is structured as a platform-plus-modules architecture, with six core products (Toniq Dispensary, Toniq Retail, Toniq Guard, 1CHART, Toniq Vault, and Toniq Corporate) supplemented by an extensive catalogue of add-on modules and the Toniq Product Catalogue (TPC) for supplier electronic ordering. The platform is deeply integrated with New Zealand-specific healthcare infrastructure, including the Ministry of Health's Sector Services for electronic claims (since 2008), the New Zealand Electronic Prescription System (NZePS), the New Zealand Formulary, Southern Cross Easy-Claim, and multiple pharmaceutical wholesalers and dispensing robot manufacturers. Toniq also holds formal regulatory accreditations in Fiji (VAT Monitoring System) and Samoa (Tax Invoice Monitoring System).
The company generates revenue primarily through recurring subscription licensing of its core products and add-on modules, with pricing structured as quote-based for dispensary and retail customers and publicly disclosed tiered pricing for Toniq Guard ($23-$119 per pharmacy per month with multi-year contract incentives). Go-to-market is sales-led via direct engagement with pharmacies and retail stores, supported by staff in Christchurch (headquarters) and Auckland. Toniq reports an installed base of 900+ pharmacies on Toniq Dispensary, 1,000+ retail stores on Toniq Retail, and 10,000+ beds managed monthly via 1CHART with 10,299 active users and 3.4 million medication administrations per month. The most recent product launch was Toniq Guard in 2025, an Electronic Controlled Drug Register that extends the platform into compliance-focused software and integrates with the existing dispensary install base.
