Manufacturers and brands

Product information for the entire pharmacy supply chain.

Your products reach pharmacies through wholesalers and other distribution channels. The product information that goes with them also needs to find its way into pharmacy software, webshops and other applications. Medipim helps manufacturers and laboratories enrich product data, photos and descriptions and share them with connected customers.

What Medipim does for your product information

Medipim prepares product data for automated processing.

Manufacturers supply product information in different formats. Medipim brings this data together in a consistent structure.

We categorise products and convert features supplied as free text into set values from pick lists. This makes it easier for customers to process the information automatically and consistently in their software, webshop or other application.

Provide or use product information?

Manufacturers submit their product information once. Medipim checks and processes it, so pharmacies, wholesalers, online shops and software providers can immediately work with usable data. No one has to look up, photograph, enter or correct the same information over and over again. That saves time across the entire supply chain.
