What GEPADO - Softwarelösungen für Genetik - GmbH does

GEPADO - Softwarelösungen für Genetik - GmbH is a Germany-based, wholly-owned subsidiary of NEXUS AG that delivers software solutions for genetics laboratories within the broader NEXUS / LAB product division. The company's core technology is the NEXUS / LAB platform, a modular laboratory information system (LIS) that digitizes the full diagnostic chain across central laboratories, pathology, cytology, human genetics, molecular pathology, transfusion medicine, microbiology, frozen-section (FBREK), and specialized laboratories. The portfolio is delivered as integrated software, hardware (cassette and slide printers), and services from a single source, and is augmented by NEXUS AG sister subsidiaries ifms GmbH, MARIS Healthcare GmbH, and ViREQ software solutions GmbH for specialized diagnostic capabilities. Notable technical components include LAURIS ID-Check for real-time patient and sample identity verification, NEXUS / Advanced Reporting for structured clinical reporting, and NEXUS / LAB BOARD for operational dashboards tracking sample throughput, analyzer status, and quality control.

GEPADO sells into enterprise B2B customers — laboratories, pathology practices, genetics institutes, hospitals, and diagnostic centers — primarily across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). The go-to-market is a direct enterprise field-sales motion with regional offices, dedicated sales leadership, and a ServiceDesk supported by the gepadowiki.de customer portal. Demand generation is layered through industry events (DMEA Berlin, NEXUS DAYS), webinars, virtual events, and a LinkedIn corporate presence.

The business model is enterprise software licensing and subscriptions, with quote-based pricing and recurring revenue components; pricing is not publicly disclosed. GEPADO operates as part of NEXUS AG's broader healthcare IT portfolio (a publicly-traded parent with ~1,500 employees across 7 countries), so its standalone financials are not separately reported. The combined positioning — full laboratory digitalization from sample intake through reporting and billing, delivered with hardware, software, and service — is the company's core commercial thesis.
