THE COMPANY
Built on data.
Focused on life sciences.
Swiss company. International perspective.
Archilex SA is a Swiss consulting and software development company. Since 1996, we have designed systems that make complex information available, consistent and useful.
Our early work with Swiss cantonal administrations built deep expertise in databases, document flows and information retrieval. That foundation led us into pharmaceutical software, where traceability and reliable records are part of everyday operations.
Today, software for regulated environments is our focus. BioTrends EM, our flagship environmental monitoring system, is the core of our business.
