ProPharma is a leading provider of inventory management systems and central services specifically for drugstores. With a large network of affiliated specialty shops in Switzerland—currently more than 450 drugstores are connected—ProPharma’s platform offers an efficient solution for order processing, inventory control, and product information. By leveraging ProPharma’s central database, drugstores can easily place orders with suppliers, monitor stock levels in real time, and benefit from a seamless flow of information.

Previously, the B2B shop from Ducos required orders to be entered twice, as the two systems were not integrated. Consequently, DUCOS launched the “ProPharma Interface Integration” project this year and, after an intensive testing phase, has now successfully completed it. Effective immediately, Ducos provides a technical integration with ProPharma—another milestone toward even more efficient collaboration and optimized workflows. Thanks to this new interface, orders can still be placed as usual via ProPharma, but order confirmations now come directly from Ducos, ensuring a seamless link between ordering and delivery.

A smooth process is thus guaranteed—from the order to the receipt of goods. Status messages verify that the ordered products are in stock at Ducos and that the order units are correctly entered. Once the order is confirmed, the delivery precisely matches the order details, allowing it to be quickly recorded in the drugstore’s inventory management system.

Cost Control and Discounts in Focus
Another benefit of the integration is the transparent display of shipping and discount costs. Any applicable shipping fees and invoice discounts are clearly shown, allowing the order to be optimized. This flexibility provides targeted cost optimization and transparency.

By connecting to ProPharma, DUCOS increases efficiency and transparency in its collaboration with drugstores and establishes new standards for forward-looking digitalization in specialty retail.

We are excited to announce our exclusive collaboration with Natch in Switzerland! Known from Die Höhle der Löwen, Natch sets a new standard in oral care with its innovative toothpaste tablets. Made from natural ingredients that support strong teeth, Natch provides a unique alternative to traditional toothpaste, completely free from chemical additives and plastic packaging. This refreshing approach to oral care is perfect for those who prioritize health, strength, and sustainability.

Natch offers more than just oral care: the included Calcium Hydroxyapatite (HAp) protects and strengthens teeth by remineralizing enamel. This keeps teeth healthy and resilient without the need for fluoride and even provides a natural whitening effect. With natural aromas and soapbark, Natch creates a refreshing, pleasant foam without artificial foaming agents. The tablets are enriched with Vitamin B12, making them especially attractive to vegetarians and vegans.

Natch caters to every taste, from the arctic freshness of “Screaming Polar Bear” to the natural whitening of “So Black, So White” with activated charcoal, all the way to the kids’ edition, “Toothmonster Kids Bubble Gum.” Whether at home or on the go, the eco-friendly glass packaging and convenient refill packs are perfect for sustainable oral care.

At DUCOS, we are proud to collaborate with Natch and exclusively offer these forward-thinking products in Switzerland. Together, we are setting a new standard for sustainable and healthy oral care, bringing genuine value to our customers.

Back to the origins in Laupheim: We are thrilled to announce some wonderful news to you. The newly renovated Bronner House and Dr. Bronner’s Museum have opened in Laupheim since May 28, 2024! This special event is a significant milestone in the history of our company.

The Bronner House, the historic seat of the Bronner family, shines in new splendor after an extensive renovation and will now be the official headquarters of Dr. Bronner’s in Europe. In the basement, where soap production began in 1858, the new museum invites you on a fascinating journey through our family and company history.

The opening event was accompanied by high-ranking representatives of the city of Laupheim and the Bronner family, as well as the team of architects responsible for the creative implementation of this unique house. During the renovation, it was important to retain the historical signature of the building and to bring it into the modern age with the ALL-ONE philosophy. This resulted in an extension whose highlight is the glass roof with soap bubbles as a design element and Emanuel Bronner’s excerpts from his lectures that he gave when he founded Magic Soap in the USA in 1948 and which always ended with the same final sentence: We are All-One, or none.

72 This is the current number of genders. From androgynous, genderqueer, trans to hermaphrodite. Man and woman was yesterday. Today, society is as colorful as a bouquet of flowers. SA.AL & Co. as a UNISEX brand does not target a specific gender, but focuses on high-quality, natural ingredients and their effect on the skin. ALL AGES. ALL SEXES. ALL NATURAL.

The unisex skincare collection includes a wide range of products such as cleansing gel, face serum, moisturizer and more. A special ingredient used by the brand is the exclusive Tyrolean Alpine Water, which is rich in minerals and trace elements that strengthen the skin.

Ducos has experienced strong growth in recent years, which has been very pleasing for us. However, the expansion also posed a major challenge, as the administration of orders became more and more time-consuming. Because of these problems, linking and automating with the ERP system had been on the to-do list for a long time. After the assessment of the ERP system and the IT infrastructure was completed, Ducos started to build its own B2B store. It was important that the store was directly linked to the ERP system to simplify and speed up the ordering process for business customers. The development of the B2B store was carried out internally by Ducos and special emphasis was placed on quality assurance. To ensure that the store functioned smoothly, the system was extensively tested before it was released for use. True to the motto: testing, testing, testing… The result is a B2B store of its own. What is the significance of the store for our business customers? For Ducos’ business customers, the B2B store brings a number of advantages. Customers now have access to the current inventory of all products and can adjust their orders so that no shipping costs are incurred. Order units are automatically adjusted, which means customers don’t have to worry about it. Additionally, they have the option to insert custom messages in the last step of the order process. The B2B Shop also provides business customers with a central database for product information, product images, training materials, brochures and much more. What is the significance of the store for us? For Ducos itself, the B2B Shop also means many advantages. Thanks to the direct link with the ERP system, data can be imported directly without manual work. This eliminates queries that would delay the ordering process. The processing of individual inquiries regarding detailed product information is also no longer necessary. Finally, the on-boarding of new brands is visible to customers. We are ready for further growth! Find our b2b shop here: https://shop.ducos.ch/
