Vertically integrated pharma manufacturer and retailer across Central America
Grupo Farsimán operates a three-tier pharmaceutical business—manufacturing, wholesale distribution, and retail—across Honduras with over 3,500 employees. The hiring velocity is accelerating with 68 roles posted in the last 30 days, heavily weighted toward sales (53 roles) and operations (25), reflecting a push to scale distribution and retail footprint. Stack migration from on-premise SAP/Oracle toward Azure DevOps, AWS, and containerization (Docker) signals modernization of supply-chain and inventory systems to address chronic pain points around stockout prevention and delivery compliance.
Grupo Farsimán is a Honduran pharmaceutical conglomerate founded in 1958, structured around three operating units: Laboratorios Farsimán (manufacturing ~300 formulations including syrups, tablets, capsules, and topicals), Droguería Simán (national wholesale distribution), and Farmacia Simán (retail chain with 110+ locations across Honduras). The group employs over 3,500 people and manufactures branded products still in market after decades alongside imported pharmaceutical lines. A new manufacturing facility is planned. Primary operational friction centers on inventory accuracy, stockout prevention, and timely supply delivery across a dispersed retail network.

Inventory accuracy, stockout prevention, storage cost optimization, and delivery KPI compliance. Current projects focus on inventory control improvements, reporting systems, and supply chain process clarity.
