Smart Event Manager creates and provides a serialized product event ledger, capturing, recording, and making available to business systems and users critical observations on serialized objects related to supply chain, warehouse, and retail / internal distribution network activities.
Challenges
Products flowing within business operations (warehouses, distribution centers, retail / pharmacy locations, etc.) and across the supply chain can disappear into a black hole of visibility without the ability to know where they are and what actions / events are occurring to them.
- Inability to enable observation and capture data on serialized products as they are shipped, received, and transferred
- Difficulty in linking serialized products to existing warehouse and distribution operations
- Difficulty in meeting track and trace regulations, informing government reports, or managing product verification requirements
- Inability to leverage serialized product information to inform key business operations and extract business value
Benefits
Capture Key Product Events in the Supply Chain
Develop a rich picture of serial number observations (shipment, receipt, verification, destruction, dispensation, and more) across warehouse, pharmacy, and other business operations.
Enable Product Scanning for Regulatory Requirements
Provide for scanning of product identifiers throughout operations to enable saleable returns verification (for US DSCSA regulations), supply chain verification (for EU Falsified Medicines Directive compliance), and other regulations where a simple, streamlined ability to scan and verify product status is needed.
Enable Serialized Product Management in Existing Operations
Where pharmacy management systems, warehouse/distribution systems, and other product handling systems do not have native serialization capabilities, simplify the ability to add visibility, knowledge, and control over serialized products as they move into, within, and leave sites, locations, and other product operations.
Capabilities
Smart Event Manager is designed to work with other TraceLink applications that consume and leverage serial number event observations, and enable workflow actions based on those observations.
- Provides synchronous REST JSON APIs to communicate and query for serial number operations integrated with barcode scanners, retail store / pharmacy management systems, and warehouse systems
- Capture serial number events including verification, shipment/receipt, destruction, and dispensation
- Capture observation data, including serial number, timestamp, location, market, event type, or other critical custom extension data
- Configure API messages to record new, and query for previous, events and observations
- Integration with other TraceLink solutions
- Smart Inventory Tracker. Capture events across distribution, retail, and internal distribution operations
- NMVS Compliance. Request or change status with national medicines verification systems
- Product Information Manager - Product Verification. Request serial number status (recalled, suspect, expired) and notify users of such status
- Serialized Operations Manager. Trigger the delivery of status update transactions from a 3PL to a brand owner/manufacturer
