APOTHEKE AM

What APOTHEKE AM does

Adler Apotheke (operating under the company name APOTHEKE AM) is a single-location independent community pharmacy at Berliner Str. 91, 13507 Berlin, in the Tegel district. The store dispenses prescription medications under the German statutory and private health insurance framework, sells over-the-counter (OTC) products and dermocosmetics (Caudalie, Dermasence, Environ, Jane Iredale, Noreva), rents Medela breast pumps, prepares individualized remedies including tea formulations and placenta globules, and offers structured consultations covering asthma, diabetes, vaccination, phytotherapy, and natural cosmetics. Customers are local residents of Berlin-Tegel and surrounding neighborhoods served primarily through walk-in traffic, supplemented by phone orders and an online pre-ordering web system with prescription photo upload. The pharmacy also supports German E-Rezept (electronic prescription) handling, reflecting compliance with the national digital health infrastructure.

The company's revenue model mixes regulated prescription reimbursements and patient co-payments (under Arzneimittelpreisverordnung), direct OTC/dermacosmetics retail, rental fees on medical equipment such as Medela breast pumps, and transaction-based fees on custom preparations. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: a physical storefront, telephone ordering at 030/4335081, and a self-built online pre-ordering form. Distribution is exclusively domestic (Germany), with a single-point geographic footprint. Marketing relies on the company website, Google Maps/local SEO presence, QR-code access to a mobile site, and word-of-mouth referral. The operation is staffed by approximately 20 employees.

Technology is intentionally light-touch: a custom web form for medication pre-ordering, a photo-upload mechanism for prescriptions to initiate the order, and E-Rezept integration for electronic prescription handling. There is no mobile app, no public API, no disclosed AI/ML capability, and no proprietary software product — Adler Apotheke is a service business augmented with standard German pharmacy digitization, not a software or platform company. Product partnerships with WALA (anthroposophic medicines), Stadelmann (mother and child), and several dermocosmetics brands supply the differentiated assortment, while the Medela partnership provides the rental revenue stream.
