CGM STELLA Launches: First Cloud-Based and AI-Supported Pharmacy Software Goes Live in Germany

CGM LAUER is revolutionizing the pharmacy market: CGM STELLA, the first fully cloud-based and AI-supported pharmacy software, has launched in Germany. The innovative platform was officially introduced to the professional community on May 28, 2025, during a digital launch event.

“With CGM STELLA, we are launching the next generation of pharmacy software,” said CGM LAUER Managing Director Ulf Hönick at the event. Designed from the ground up for the needs of local pharmacies, this new solution offers powerful digital support – from intuitive usability and smart workflows to automated system processes.

Developed over three years using cutting-edge technology, CGM STELLA has already been successfully implemented in para-pharmacies in Italy. Now, the software has been adapted for the German pharmacy market and will be available starting in June 2025. Completely browser-based, device-independent, and free from local server infrastructure, CGM STELLA marks a shift toward digital flexibility and efficiency.

At the heart of the system is “Ask STELLA”, CGM LAUER’s proprietary AI, which provides reliable, academically verified drug information from sources like the ABDA database – supporting pharmacy teams with faster and more secure counseling at the point of sale.

Additional features include guided workflows, automated input assistance, and a user-friendly interface. Optimized for tablet use – but fully compatible with all common devices – CGM STELLA fits seamlessly into modern pharmacy operations.

The software is also tailored for pharmacy chains, offering centralized price and inventory management, real-time reporting, and detailed user access controls. Whether managing one location or several, STELLA makes multi-site management easier than ever.

Data is stored in GDPR-compliant, certified European data centers, with automatic updates, backups, and maintenance handled securely in the background.

CGM LAUER positions CGM STELLA as a modern alternative to its established WINAPO software. Pharmacies can choose the best fit based on their individual needs.

The digital launch attracted strong interest from participating pharmacists – signaling the beginning of a new era in pharmacy software innovation.
