Integrated pharmacy network and healthcare distributor across Switzerland
Galenica operates Switzerland's largest pharmacy network (500+ locations) alongside wholesale distribution and healthcare software services. The tech stack—SAP S/4HANA + EWM, Azure cloud, Databricks, dbt, and modern web layers (React, Next.js)—reveals a mid-stage digital transformation: enterprise resource planning for distribution logistics paired with emerging data and analytics capability. Current hiring skews toward healthcare operations (7 roles) and engineering (5), with active projects spanning commerce platform work (amavita.ch, sunstore.ch), pharmacy service strategy, and finance digitalization, suggesting a push to modernize front-end customer experience while stabilizing backend systems.
