What Cgm Fablab does

CGM Fablab (legal name: fablab srl a socio unico) is an Italian digital-health communication company that operates an integrated engagement and insight platform embedded inside the CompuGroup Medical (CGM) management software used by general practitioners (MMG), independent pediatricians (PLS), and community pharmacists in Italy. The company delivers pharma-sponsored messages, clinical-decision prompts, patient-finding lists, and adherence interventions directly into the HCP workflow at the moments of prescription entry, diagnosis, and OTC sale, and returns prescribing trend, sell-out, and patient cluster analytics to pharmaceutical clients.

The product portfolio comprises six core workflow tools (CGM eREP for physician engagement, CGM eTRADE for pharmacy engagement, CGM ASSISTANT for clinical decision support, CGM CARELIST for patient finding, CGM SALES BOOSTER for inventory and order optimization, and CGM Continuity Care for therapeutic adherence), a layer of insight services (prescriptive trends, sell-out performance, patient cluster and symptom incidence, behavior and training needs), a communication services suite (medical guidelines, product info, brand awareness, disease awareness), and two recent additions: SORT600 (territorial market potential via New Line RDM) and the MedQuestio generative-AI medical information search integration. Underlying capabilities include recommendation engines, predictive analytics on clinical and dispensing data, and rule-driven automation; the AI layer is largely distributed through partner integrations rather than proprietary foundation models.

Commercially, CGM Fablab runs a B2B enterprise field-sales motion targeting pharmaceutical companies across primary care, specialty, rare disease, and consumer health. Revenue is generated through quote-based project fees and recurring subscription-style contracts for communication campaigns and analytics packages; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company lists more than 30 named pharma clients including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Novartis, Boehringer Ingelheim, GSK, Sanofi, Eli Lilly, Bayer, Recordati, Viatris, Angelini, UCB, Zambon, Domp\u00e9, Biomarin, Genzyme, Incyte, AlfaSigma, Reckitt Benckiser, Sandoz, Nestl\u00e9, and Perrigo, with sales executed by Key Account Managers and consulting teams based out of Milan (legal HQ) and Trieste (operations). CGM Fablab is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the publicly listed German eHealth group CompuGroup Medical SE & Co. KGaA, which provides the underlying EHR/PMS footprint and the potential corridor for international expansion via the parent's global network.
