Founded by senior healthcare industry executives

Axicos was founded in Basel, Switzerland, in 2007 by senior executives with extensive experience in the pharmaceutical, diagnostic and IT industries. Our headquarters is situated in Basel, Switzerland, and we have a wholly-owned subsidiary in Ludwigshafen, Germany. We have a network of independent legal tech consultants that can support our customers if they wish to adapt their internal processes.

Early on, we decided to grow the company organically, avoiding the risk of overselling to meet short-term demands by external investors.

We’ve developed a suite of easy to use, practice-proven software products, including Carizma for contract lifecycle management, Carizma First for automated document creation and Carizma QM for management of regulated documents such as SOPs. Carizma is in use in over 50 countries worldwide.
