Generics

Competing on specification, price and availability, not story.

Generics manufacturers compete on specification, price and reliable availability, so the site must help buyers find and confirm a reference quickly and accurately.

The sector
What is included

What working with generics
companies actually involves

What makes it different

A generics buyer already knows what they need; the site’s job is confirming availability and specification quickly, not persuading. Marketing-first thinking applied to this category actively slows the buyer down and gets ignored.

What we deliver

Catalogue architecture built for filtering by specification, dosage form and availability, ERP integration so the catalogue reflects real stock, and content that prioritises precision over narrative.

Precision as the selling point

Instead of overselling a commodity-competitive product, we build the site around what genuinely differentiates a generics manufacturer — supply reliability and manufacturing precision — because that is what actually wins the tender.

What we build for generics
What we build

What generics companies
actually need built

The build priorities for a specification-driven business differ from a brand-led one. Here is what generics companies most often need.

How we work with generics
Four stages

How we approach a
generics engagement

Four stages, built around precision and findability over narrative.

CATALOGUE STRUCTURE
01
01

A model built for how buyers actually filter

We design the product data model around the actual filtering dimensions buyers use — specification, market, dosage form — rather than a generic content structure.

What we define

We define the specific fields a generics buyer actually filters by — active ingredient, dosage form, strength, pack size, therapeutic equivalence code — and how market-by-market availability gets represented so a buyer in one country is not shown stock that does not apply to them.

Result

Every filter applied actually removes irrelevant products instead of leaving a buyer to scroll through hundreds of near-duplicate listings. That precision is what separates a usable generics catalogue from a database dump with a search box on top.

DATA INTEGRATION
02
02

Fed by the ERP, not maintained by hand

We connect the catalogue to the ERP so specifications and stock reflect reality rather than a separately maintained copy that drifts.

What we build

We build the live connection between the site and your ERP for specifications and stock levels, plus a defined fallback — cached data with a clear timestamp, not a broken page — for whenever that source goes offline temporarily.

Result

A buyer checking stock or specification sees what is actually true right now, not a figure someone updated manually three weeks ago. That trust matters more in generics than almost any other category, because switching cost between suppliers is low.

PERFORMANCE
03
03

Fast at the scale a large portfolio needs

We build and test the catalogue to perform at the actual scale of your portfolio, since a slow filter is a lost buyer in this category more than most.

What we optimise

We test the catalogue against realistic portfolio size and query patterns, tuning filter response time and building search that still returns the right product when a buyer types a partial reference number or a slightly wrong spelling — which happens constantly in this category.

Result

Performance holds as your product range expands into thousands of SKUs, rather than degrading the way many generics catalogues do once the initial dataset outgrows what was tested at launch.

CONTENT DISCIPLINE
04
04

Precision over narrative

We write and structure content that prioritises accuracy and clarity, resisting the temptation to add marketing narrative that does not serve this buyer.

What we produce

We write specification content built for fast scanning — clear tables, consistent units, unambiguous naming — rather than persuasive copy this buyer has no time for and does not trust anyway. Accuracy and speed of retrieval are the actual selling points here.

Result

A procurement buyer gets what they came for in seconds rather than working past marketing language to find the specification they need. That respect for their time is itself a competitive advantage in a category decided largely on price and reliability.

Generics industry questions

What comes up when building for a specification-driven business.

Do we need a lot of marketing content?

Usually not — buyers in the generics category already know the molecule, dosage form, and strength they need, and are checking your specification and availability rather than being persuaded by brand storytelling. Precision in the data sheet and stock status matters more here than volume of content, so we typically prioritise catalogue depth and search accuracy over campaign pages.

How large a catalogue can this handle?

We architect the catalogue for your actual portfolio size, tested against realistic data volumes rather than a small demo dataset that hides performance problems. Generics portfolios running into several thousand SKUs across multiple dosage forms and markets are within what we regularly build and load-test, so search and filtering stay fast as your reference count grows rather than degrading over time.

Can this connect to our ERP?

Yes, and for a generics catalogue it usually should, since stock status and pricing change often enough that manually maintained web content falls out of date within days. See PIM and product data for how we connect the site to the system that already owns your specification and inventory data, rather than duplicating it in a second place that needs separate upkeep.

Does this include ordering?

Where your buyers need it, yes — a generics catalogue built for wholesalers or pharmacy chains commonly extends into account-based ordering rather than staying informational. See distributor portal for how we add authenticated pricing, reorder history, and order submission on top of the same catalogue, so the specification data and the ordering flow stay in sync.
