Safe and Secure Global Distribution
Drug counterfeiting and diversion threatens patient safety and product revenue. Pharmaceutical track and trace regulations in California, EU, China, India and other countries increase business risk while emerging markets offer over $165B in revenue growth if you can safety and efficiently reach them.
To ensure safe, compliant medicines gets to patients on-time, in-full, you need:
- A single platform for ePedigree, serialization, authentication and gov't reporting
- The ability to manage hundreds of network connections, millions of serialized products, billions of transactions and terabytes of data
- A buffer from the uncertainty and change of regulations and technical standards
- Visibility into and protection from counterfeiting, theft and diversion
- Traceability between finished products shipping in the channel and the manufacturing process and ingredients that went into them
