Industry challenges

DSCSA compliance requires a host of new capabilities

Today’s marketing authorization holders and pharmaceutical manufacturers face immense challenges managing regulatory compliance and navigating evolving DSCSA requirements. These challenges include:

Supply partner integration

DSCSA requires the onboarding, integration, and ongoing maintenance of hundreds to thousands of trade partners for secure, electronic, interoperable exchange of EPCIS transactions.

Supply partner integration
Invasive changes to enterprise systems

Companies must make their operations "serialization aware," which requires invasive changes to warehouse management systems (WMSs) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.

Invasive changes to enterprise systems
Massive amounts of data to process

The DSCSA demands a highly scalable architecture that is capable of processing massive amounts of item-level serialization data at operational scale without disruption or downtime.

Massive amounts of data to process
Platform maintenance without downtime

Companies need ways to push updates as regulatory, standards and business requirements evolve up to and after the DSCSA deadline without disrupting supply chain processes.

    Product verification for salable returns, suspect and illegitimate product investigations.

    Managing and maintaining aggregation hierarchies throughout warehouse and distribution operations.

    A highly scalable architecture is required to process massive amounts of item-level traceability data at an operational scale without disrupting or delaying business processes.  

    Rapidly resolve DSCSA-related exceptions that will require real-time collaboration and troubleshooting with trade partners.

    A single integration to the TraceLink network enables seamless data exchange with all customers and suppliers.

    scaleability

    Product benefits

    Increase scalability

    The introduction of item-level traceability requirements in DSCSA 2023 substantially increases the volume of data and transactions, requiring processing at operational scale. The TraceLink native cloud architecture scales to ensure that information can be retrieved and processed in real time without disrupting operational processes.

    compliance

    Product benefits

    Ensure compliance

    As DSCSA 2023 requirements continue to evolve, new capabilities will be required. As a result, organizations will need to rapidly update and validate their compliance solutions without disrupting existing integrations. With the TraceLink network tenant architecture, all customers are updated simultaneously, ensuring that they have the latest functionality. This approach ensures that our customers remain compliant continuously.

    Pharmacy

    Product benefits

    Minimize supply disruption

    The additional verification steps required for DSCSA 2023 compliance, multiple versions of EPCIS, custom extensions, and inclusion of non-serialized products in shipments from hundreds or even thousands of suppliers will lead to frequent exceptions. Exceptions will delay receiving and shipping products and create supply interruptions. By operating on the TraceLink network with proven DSCSA solutions that support all versions of EPCIS, custom extensions, and real-time exception follow-up, you can minimize supply risk and failure to supply fines.
