Aposoft

What Aposoft does

Aposoft is a German pharmacy inventory management and point-of-sale software system marketed to independent pharmacies and small multi-location pharmacy groups (Apothekenverbund) across Germany. Operated as a product line by PRISMA DATENSYSTEME GmbH, a private limited company headquartered in Moormerland, Lower Saxony, the platform combines a Warenwirtschaftssystem (inventory management system), touchscreen cash register, electronic prescription (E-Rezept) processing via FiveRX and ApoTI, securPharm anti-counterfeiting verification through NGDA, MSV3 wholesale interfaces for digital delivery and return notes, and integrations with NARZ/AVN, DAP Premium, ABDA, and gesund.de. The software supports unlimited workstations per installation and includes an add-on module (aposoft business) for consolidated multi-pharmacy reporting over VPN-secured connections.

The company sells exclusively B2B through a four-step consultative sales process — initial consultation, on-site or online demonstration, tailored needs profile with flexible financing, and full installation with data migration and staff training. Revenue is generated via subscription-based licensing with quote-based pricing that the company markets as significantly cheaper than larger German pharmacy software vendors. The product is positioned regionally as 'das Apotheken-Warenwirtschaftssystem aus dem Norden' (the pharmacy inventory management system from the North), with a customer base of small and mid-sized independent pharmacies. Distribution relies on direct outreach, a dedicated sales contact ([email protected]), webinars, industry event presence (expopharm 2025), and a helpdesk/Universität training portal.

Aposoft operates as a privately held German GmbH with no disclosed external funding, no institutional investors, and no parent company. The management team includes Marc Beushausen (authorized representative) and Jens Kauffmann (joined the Geschäftsleitung in June 2025). The company employs 11–50 people and exhibits characteristics of a stable, niche vertical SaaS business executing steady product development aligned with German healthcare digitization mandates, particularly E-Rezept compliance and PKV digitalization.
