obere Apotheke

What obere Apotheke does

obere Apotheke is the Team Santé pharmacy located at 10.-Oktober-Straße 4, 9500 Villach, Austria, managed by Mag. pharm. Dr. Klaus Schirmer. It is one of 15 independently owned pharmacies that together operate under the Team Santé (team santé GmbH, FN 318496b) cooperative umbrella, which is registered in Klagenfurt and headquartered in Wolfsberg. The Villach outlet provides core retail pharmacy services: prescription dispensing, over-the-counter medication sales, cosmetics, and pharmacist-led health consultations, following standard Austrian pharmacy fee structures. The outlet is part of a multi-state network covering Carinthia, Lower Austria, Vienna, Styria, Salzburg, and Burgenland.

The parent entity's primary digital product is the Team Santé mobile application, available on iOS and Android, which enables prescription pre-ordering, pharmacy selection, on-call duty and opening hours lookup, emergency pharmacy access, and a digital customer card across the network. No AI, machine-learning, or API products are disclosed. The website additionally publishes a range of consumer content (Tipp Santé health tips, mindfulness tips by Nadja Maleh, Gesundheitsmythen myth-debunking, recipe content in cooperation with mitohnekochen.com, blog posts, and a newsletter). A Netzwerk Junge Pharmazie program targets pharmacy students and young pharmacists with events and a newsletter, addressing Austria's pharmacist recruitment constraints.

The business model is direct-to-consumer retail pharmacy: revenue is generated transaction-by-transaction at the counter through prescription and OTC dispensing, health and wellness product sales, and pharmacist consultation services. The cooperative structure allows each pharmacy to remain independently owned while gaining access to shared procurement, marketing, training, and the central Team Santé brand and digital infrastructure. GTM is purely physical retail at the outlet level, with the mobile app adding a pre-ordering convenience layer. There are no disclosed enterprise customers, no B2B contracts, no API or platform revenue, and no published financial figures; the source material indicates no external investment or public listing, with the central team santé GmbH acting as a support entity rather than a corporate chain operator.
