In collaboration with the Hellenic Medicines Verification Organisation (HMVO), Solidsoft Reply, a Reply Group company specialising in Microsoft Azure cloud-based enterprise solutions, has successfully integrated Greece’s Hellenic Medicines Verification System (HMVS) within the European Hub, delivering the launch on schedule. This achievement enhances Greece’s pharmaceutical landscape and protects its citizens from the growing threat of falsified medications.

The HMVS now operates as part of the European Medicines Verification System (EMVS), a pan-national platform designed to prevent counterfeit medicines from entering the market and reaching patients. With this launch, Greece joins a growing network of 15 other fully operational and secure National Medicine Verification System (NMVS) platforms across Europe, powered by Solidsoft Reply.
The HMVS became fully operational in February 2025, connecting approximately 10,500 pharmacies, and 150 wholesalers across Greece. Critically, it also integrates with Greece’s existing national reimbursement system. Solidsoft Reply worked closely with HMVO to ensure the system met Greece’s regulatory, technological, and operational requirements, facilitating a smooth transition to full operation.
David Eccles, Partner at Solidsoft Reply, stated: “We are delighted to have assisted HMVO in meeting their critical deadline in just six months. The successful implementation of the HMVS ensures the safety and authenticity of medicines in Greece. Kudos to everyone who contributed to this achievement.”
Ioanna Kontomanolopoulou, General Manager at HMVO, commented: “This has been achieved with the strong support of the EMVO, and the help from our colleagues from other NMVOs, and our provider Solidsoft Reply… We express our gratitude to all.”
