Serial Number Manager

TraceLink’s Serial Number Manager (SNM) solution provides a centralized, flexible platform for the global generation, importation, replenishment, and provisioning of serialized product identifiers for companies needing unique product identifiers, across one or more packaging hierarchies, and in homogeneous or heterogeneous serialization ecosystems, to meet compliance or supply chain requirements.

Challenges

Pharmaceutical manufacturers and their contract manufacturing/packaging partners (CMOs/CPOs) facing regulations for serialized product identification and traceability must have a reliable, “always on” solution for generating, storing, and managing thousands to millions of unique serial numbers. Such serialized product identifiers must be created across varying levels of packaging (unit, case, etc.).

Manufacturers, CMOs, and CPOs must be able to generate and deploy these serialized product identifiers across their packaging lines and external packaging relationships at production-level speeds and accuracy, often across a highly diverse serialization infrastructure.

 

Benefits

Serial Number Manager helps pharmaceutical manufacturers, contract manufacturers or packagers, and other organizations to develop and implement sophisticated global product identification strategies by enabling a flexible, rules-based serialization infrastructure. With Serial Number Manager, companies can:

    Capabilities 

    Serial Number Manager provides an extensive set of capabilities to enable a company to create a global serialization ecosystem to manage the diverse requirements for regulatory and trade partner product identification. Serial Number Manager:

    • Manages serial number creation for global product identifier and serialization requirements
    • Generates serial numbers for multiple packaging hierarchies (saleable unit, bundle, cases, pallets, etc.)
    • Supports GS1 standards (e.g. SGTIN, SSCC), proprietary formats (e.g., CN-EDMC), and special scenarios such as Russia Crypto Codes
    • Provides reusable rules-based serialization templates via CSV upload or UI
      • Identifier configuration (number format, EAN, GTIN-14, NTIN, company prefix, extension digit, special characters, etc.)
      • Generation of sequential or randomized serial numbers defined by standards-based or regulatory-specified rules
      • Encoding format and site-specific serial number range creation rules
      • Request quantities and min/max thresholds
    • Supports TraceLink generation of serial numbers or importation / auto-replenishment from supply partners or gov't systems
    • Provides diverse implementation options 
      • Automated generation internally of serial numbers by the TraceLink system
      • Automated replenishment of serial numbers from an external system into the TraceLink serialization repository
      • Automated replenishment of serial numbers from a manufacturer’s serialization repository to a contract manufacturer’s or packager’s serialization repository
