Case Study: Galexis achieves 25% lower stock levels with Iptor Pharma

Galexis optimizes replenishment with Iptor solution

Galexis, the Swiss pharmaceutical wholesaler and distribution arm of its healthcare group, faced the challenge of managing over 40,000 products, extremely high order volumes, and the need to reduce processing errors while improving stock levels and procurement efficiency. To address this, Galexis used Iptor Pharma, Iptor’s industry-specific software for pharmaceutical wholesale and supply chain processes.

Iptor implemented a replenishment and inventory optimization solution that automated purchase suggestions, introduced item segmentation, and supported a warehouse concept based on optimum stock levels across three distribution centers. The results were significant: Galexis reduced stock levels by 25%, increased stock turnover from 12 to 17 for common products and up to 22 for specialty pharma products, raised automated procurement from 38% to 50%, and cut reception lines by 20%, all while maintaining high service levels.
