Prescription and sales data analytics for life sciences and consumer healthcare
Close-Up International operates a data analytics business serving pharmaceutical and healthcare companies across 50+ countries. The tech stack—Power BI, Tableau, Qlik, SQL Server, Python, R—reveals a heavy-lift analytics orientation focused on reporting and BI rather than product-led SaaS. Active hiring in data and engineering, paired with stated pain points around data integration and validation, suggests they are scaling internal data infrastructure to support new product development (big data offerings) rather than shipping shrink-wrapped tools.
Close-Up International is a prescription and sales data analytics firm based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with 501–1,000 employees. The company pioneered pharmaceutical prescription data reporting in 1968 and now delivers analytics, CRM, and consulting services to over 650 life-sciences and consumer healthcare customers across 50+ countries. The business model spans three vectors: prescription and sales data insights, CRM and technology solutions, and strategic consulting. Operations span Argentina, Brazil, and the United States.
