TraceLink’s Brazil Compliance application enables multinational and Brazilian domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers—or organizations such as agents or 3PLs that support them in managing compliance data and related reporting—to meet ANVISA requirements for product serialization and compliance reporting to the centralized SNCM (Systema Nacional de Controle de Medicamentos) system.
Challenges
Brazil represents one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical markets, with end-to-end traceability regulations that affect manufacturers, importers, distributors, and dispensers. Complying with Brazil serialization / traceability regulations means meeting a complex set of business rule and data management requirements which will be highly connected to your supply network operations.
While each segment has reporting requirements, the central system does not connect trade partners in order to confirm order accuracy or track and resolve shipping and receiving errors. This puts the burden on each stakeholder to ensure the exchange of critical serialized product and operational data with supply network partners. Failure to do so can result in reporting errors, compliance issues, and potential product delays.

Benefits
Brazil Compliance will help enable the critical data management and operational process needs of MAHs/pharmaceutical manufacturers, agents of MAHs, 3PLs, wholesale distributors, and other entities with Brazil traceability and business requirements. With Brazil Compliance, companies can:
Connect to the SNCM System
Connect to the SNCM system with an application and platform designed to meet Brazil's digital certificate and other security protocols.
Create & Trigger Reports for Key Compliance Events
Ensure the creation and submission of correct compliance reports, informed by the necessary business, product, and operational data, based on key transactional events (shipment, receipt, etc.) as defined in the regulations. Fully automate compliance reporting based on unique internal or partner operations, or manually trigger reports to support unusual situations.
Report on Serialized Inventory Operations
Ensure that internal serialized inventory operations which result in compliance events are appropriately reported upon.
Comply with Internal Transfers of Product
Enable compliance for internal transfers of product between organization and sites with different CNPJs that trigger SNCM reporting requirements.
Manage Operational Exceptions
Effectively and efficiently manage operational exceptions (receipt/shipment errors, data issues, etc.) which need rectification and corrective actions with the SNCM system.
