That stance is useful for the pharmacy: it draws a clear line between what the software vendor stands behind and what a third party does on its own.
Pulso Informática, Nixfarma and Glintt
Nixfarma is developed by Pulso Informática, based in Valencia, whose site says it has been "looking after your pharmacy since 1984". In a 2022 interview with IM Farmacias, the company dated the first Nixfarma release to 1985 and its approval by Spain's General Council of Pharmacists to a year later.
The site footer carries a "Powered by Glintt" badge. Glintt Life groups Pulso and Consoft, the makers of Nixfarma and Farmatic, and according to Hanshow's September 2025 press release connects more than 12,000 pharmacies in Spain. That release announced a Hanshow–Glintt Life partnership, which we unpack in Hanshow and Glintt Life. On Nixfarma's label page as checked on 10 November 2026, Hanshow does not appear.
What Nixfarma's label page says
Among its integration pages (dispensing robots, unit-dose packaging, payments, wholesale distribution), nixfarma.es has one for electronic shelf labels. It is short:
- It shows two logos: Nicolis and Pricer.
- It calls them labels "integrated with Nixfarma's price management".
- It highlights faster reaction to price changes and promotions, and less time spent labelling.
- It points to the general integrations page and to Pulso's contact details.
It does not explain the technical method. Trade press offers clues. In 2022 Pulso told IM Farmacias it had shown at the Infarma trade fair "a more advanced electronic label integration that automates much of the pharmacy's price management". In 2023 general manager José Manuel García Travé listed electronic labels among integrations "with the main equipment manufacturers on the market", alongside dispensing and unit-dose robots, cash drawers and e-commerce platforms.
Official connector versus data extraction
Nixfarma's general integrations page makes three points worth reading before choosing labels:
- Official integrations are "specific developments, agreed between the device manufacturers or distributors" and Nixfarma, "analysed and maintained by Nixfarma's technical team".
- "Without an official connector we cannot guarantee that the extracted information is consistent."
- Anyone with a product that adds value to the pharmacy can ask Pulso to evaluate an integration.
| With an official connector | Without one | |
|---|---|---|
| Who maintains it across releases | Nixfarma's technical team | The label supplier, alone |
| Data consistency | Backed by Pulso | Not guaranteed by Pulso |
| Support when shelf and till disagree | Someone on each side of the exchange | Your Nixfarma reseller may not recognise the problem |
| How to verify | Listed on Nixfarma's site or confirmed by your reseller | Only the label supplier says so |
A label system without an official connector can still work, for example by reading an exported file. But if it breaks after a Nixfarma update, you know in advance that the software vendor will not treat it as its problem.
The price the label must show, by rule
- Reimbursed medicines. The price arrives with the Ministry of Health's nomenclator, which applies on the 1st of each month with changes closed on the 20th of the previous month (art. 12 of Royal Decree 177/2014). Lowest prices of homogeneous groups change in the January, April, July and October nomenclators (art. 8.6).
- The annual reference-price order. Pharmacies may keep selling affected stock at the old price until the last day of the month after the order applies, and the new prices enter the nomenclator of the second month (art. 6). For the 2026 order that means 30 November and 1 December; see the official medicine price updates calendar.
- Non-reimbursed medicines and parapharmacy. The price is notified by the laboratory or set by the pharmacy; what an EFP is and how the retail price is set explains the difference.
- Promotions. They need an end date in Nixfarma, and the label must respect it.
During the old-stock window, what the till charges is what counts. The label should not calculate anything on its own.
What to ask your Nixfarma reseller
Nixfarma sends pharmacies to their reseller for integration details. Before signing with a label supplier, ask the reseller:
- Whether that supplier has an official Nixfarma connector, or has applied for one.
- Which Nixfarma version it works with and what happens on updates.
- Which data is exchanged: price, dated offers, previous price, stock.
- How often it syncs and how you are alerted if a label does not update.
- Who handles the ticket if shelf and till prices differ.
And ask the label supplier to show you the exchange running with Nixfarma in another pharmacy, not in a demo with sample data.
FarmaConnect and Nixfarma
On Nixfarma's label page as checked on 10 November 2026, FarmaConnect is not listed. FarmaConnect's electronic shelf labels sync with the pharmacy's management system; if you use Nixfarma, we confirm on the video call what is possible with your installation and by which route. To compare, see the Farmatic and Unycop pages, and the electronic shelf labels guide for pharmacies to decide whether labels pay off.
