Investor & partner briefing, 2026

Stronger than ever.

The pharmacy supply chain of Iraq, rebuilt on one platform. Six products, one network.

01Nineveh

The problem

Iraq's pharmacy supply chain runs on phone calls, paper lists, and guesswork.

  1. 01

    A factory ships to warehouses and scientific bureaus.

  2. 02

    Reps take pharmacy orders over WhatsApp and phone calls.

  3. 03

    Pharmacies can't see prices, stock, or their own balances.

  4. 04

    Suppliers can't track orders, inventory, or their customers.

  5. 05

    The patient waits at the counter while the system guesses.

The fix

Days of phone calls became minutes in one app.

The network

Pharmacies, warehouses, scientific offices, and factories on one map.

Six products

One platform covering every side of the trade, from order to shelf to patient.

Mercato B2B

Pharmacies, buyer side

The flagship. Iraq's pharmacies order their stock here.

Ordering from warehouses and scientific bureaus, wallet and per-supplier balances, team work-groups, photo-to-order, and a Coins loyalty economy. Live on the app stores.

Mercato One

Warehouses (المذاخر)

The warehouses' system.

Drug warehouses run their Mercato trade and field cash collections (تحصيل) on their own system.

myPharma

Pharmacy operations

The pharmacy's full ERP.

Sales, inventory, purchasing, orders, employees, invoices, and the POS at the counter. One button imports the pharmacy's Mercato orders into stock.

insight

Owner's companion

Your whole pharmacy, one screen.

The phone companion for myPharma data: today's sales, profit, expiring stock, suppliers, invoices.

Salamati

Patients (سلامتي)

The patient side of the network.

Find medicine three ways: search, map, or camera. Nearby verified pharmacies, repeat purchases for chronic patients.

Mercato OMS

Scientific bureaus (المكاتب)

The scientific bureaus' operating system.

Bureaus run reps, orders, free-goods policy, and customer relationships end to end; the field Agent app is designed and on the way.
