Pharmaceutical

Compliance with global regulations for the track and trace of prescription drugs, like the DSCSA provisions of the US FDA’s DQSA, and the EU’s Falsified Medicines Directive, present a vast set of challenges for the pharmaceutical industry. While these serialization, e-pedigree and registration schemes have been mandated to provide consumer protections, building an integrated, interoperable supply chain while also staying abreast of evolving regulations requires a new approach to data management. As manufacturers implement their traceability programs, though, they’re also uncovering strategic value to their business: A well-deployed program can capture better visibility to the supply chain, reduce waste in procurement and warehousing, and streamline overall systems.

Labeling processes are crucial to serialization and e-pedigree program deployment. Having the right labeling system in place — one that is secure, proven and reliable; that integrates completely with existing systems and workflows to enable single source of truth data management; and that scales and adapts to evolving business practices — can be the difference between a successful serialization initiative that creates efficiencies and a complicated one that creates costs.
