Product overview

TraceLink Serial Number Exchange

The TraceLink Serial Number Exchange (SNX) application enables internal packaging and external CMO/CPO sites and packaging lines to request, exchange, and monitor the disposition of serial numbers and related product events with the brand owner's serialization management system. Serial numbers can be monitored across a range of processes, events, and use cases, including commissioning, aggregation, and transformation.

TraceLink Serial Number Exchange enables:

Better management of serial number allocation and exchange

Better visibility into serial number inventory across multiple dimensions

Alignment of serialization processes across internal and external packaging systems

Industry challenges

The process of exchanging serial numbers is full of inefficiencies

Today's regulatory requirements for serialized product traceability require manufacturers to exchange and manage serial numbers across all internal and external packaging sites. However, exchanging serial numbers is complex, with external and internal sites often having different processes on top of other technical hurdles. Challenges include:

Inefficient serial number exchange processes

Serial number exchange is inefficient due to system integration issues between pharmaceutical manufacturers and their contract manufacturing/packaging organizations.

Inefficient serial number exchange processes
Poor visibility across processes and events

Poor visibility across various product events that happen as products move through the supply chain makes it difficult to predict, minimize, and record all events that contribute to delays.

  • Exchange transaction data with packaging facilities across the lifecycle from production order and transfer of serial numbers to final disposition of serial numbers.
  • Fully automate the exchange of serialization information and related transactions (XML, EPCIS), leverage CSV download capabilities, or leverage the UI.
Digital documents
  • Configure internal locations and external partners for subscription to serialization data/transactions.
  • Configure and manage unique allocation, requests, and status updates for diverse MAH, CMO, and CPO use cases.
  • Define and enable request/response interfaces for SGTINs, SSCCs, specialty formats (China EDMC), Russia crypto keys/codes, and more.
  • Configure minimum balance thresholds for packaging codes.
Business Analyics
  • Search, view, and report on profiles, packaging codes, allocations, status (provisioned, used, encoded, deactivated, transferred in/out, etc.), and exceptions.
  • Capture events for logging and audit trailing.
  • Create per-product and per-location profiles to manage serial number access by product packaging code (GTIN, NTIN, GS1 Company Prefix for SSCCs, etc.).
