MSV3.tiger and pharmabuyer.TIGER: both sides of procurement
MSV3.tiger connects supplier order intake to operational systems. pharmabuyer.TIGER supports recurring PZN searches and rule-based purchasing. They structure enquiry, decision, order and response, and can also be used independently.
- Supplier: receive pharmacy orders from existing pharmacy software
- Buyer: query approved suppliers by PZN, quantity and availability
- Shared foundation: clear customer accounts, current data and documented rules
Automated PZN purchasing with controlled order approval
pharmabuyer.TIGER connects search lists to approved suppliers and purchasing rules. It uses MSV3 where credentials, functions and the counterpart support it. Before ordering, check outstanding orders, maximum quantity, price limits and any required manual approval.
- Agree enquiry intervals with suppliers and technical capacity
- Evaluate demand together with quantities already ordered
- Log availability responses, proposals and placed orders separately
- Handle alternative PZN only within professionally approved rules
An MSV3 availability enquiry is not an order
A positive PZN enquiry describes the queried supplier’s response at that moment. It does not in itself reserve stock. Inventory, allocations and customer permissions may change before ordering. Requested, confirmed and delivered quantities therefore need separate evaluation.
- Keep the supplier, timestamp and PZN with every response
- Distinguish general availability from confirmed quantity and delivery date
- Recheck shortages and account for outstanding orders
Prices and commercial terms in the MSV3 process
An item price is not a complete settlement of purchasing terms. Pharmacy purchase price, discounts, payment discounts, bonuses, minimum order value and surcharges can originate from different sources. Actual net-net cost requires a complementary comparison of contracts, invoices and credits.
- Document price source, validity and customer context
- Map HSA and KSA adjustments according to the specific German supplier agreement
- Do not assume that MSV3 automatically transmits every commercial condition
Automated PZN search
Required products are checked against defined suppliers, quantities, prices and availability, reducing manual searching during shortages and for high-cost medicines.
- PZN-based availability enquiries
- Price, quantity and lead-time rules
- Recurring searches at configurable intervals
- Priority for critical and margin-relevant products
Rule-based ordering
Orders can be prepared automatically or, where the process and approval permit, triggered directly. Boundaries remain transparent and controllable.
- Approval or automation mode
- Price ceilings and quantity ranges
- Supplier and assortment priorities
- Logged hits and ordering decisions
Independent integration
pharmabuyer.TIGER can complement existing pharmacy and procurement systems. Interfaces are designed around the system landscape and data availability.
- Use alongside the pharmacy system
- API and file-based integration
- Import and export of PZN lists
- Roles, permissions and monitoring
Procurement control beyond headline discounts
Availability, price, fees, payment terms and delivery performance are assessed together, showing the real commercial contribution of each supplier.
- Comparison of sourcing routes
- Hit-rate and order-rate analytics
- Transparency over actual euro contribution
- Evidence for commercial negotiations
Assess your MSV3 project
For an initial assessment, describe your role as supplier, pharmacy or network, your software and your objective. A technical discussion then defines the interface scope, implementation effort and an appropriate demonstration or pilot.
- Assess an MSV3 connection: identify systems, assortment and target pharmacies
- Request a white-label demo: describe brand, membership and functions
- Automate PZN purchasing: outline search effort, suppliers and approval rules
