Axway Establishes Global Track & Trace Initiative
Responding to industry-wide demand to proactively address security in the global pharmaceutical supply chain, Axway has created an initiative to address global serialization and track and trace requirements. Through this initiative, Axway will collaborate with solution providers spanning drug pedigree, track and trace, edge management, packaging-line serialization, EPCIS, implementation and pedigree strategy consulting. Axway will contribute its proven technology and thought-leadership in drug pedigree and track and trace.
Counterfeiting and diversion continue to be a concern for the pharmaceutical industry. The problem is exacerbated by global pressures on the pharmaceutical supply chain. As a result, the industry is proactively implementing procedures, technology and programs to protect consumers from the harmful effects of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. The initiative will help pharmaceutical organizations manage risk associated with dispersed manufacturing facilities and complex distribution networks. As part of the offering, Axway's Synchrony ePedigree solution will also allow organizations to be compliant with various drug pedigree regulations.
"Today's global economy is forcing organizations to take proactive steps to maintain the integrity and security of their products as they move from point of manufacture to end consumer. No one knows this more than healthcare companies," said Sia Zadeh, director, business development, Axway. "Axway's initiative marks an important step forward for the industry to address a problem that is top-of-mind with every organization involved in the distribution of prescription drugs."
Key to the initiative is Axway's Synchrony Supply Chain Integrity Suite, which incorporates Synchrony ePedigree, Synchrony Data Integrity Assurance (DIA) and Synchrony Track & Trace. The solution delivers improved supply chain visibility and operations, compliance with industry regulations, improved patient safety standards, enhanced inventory tracking and reduced operational costs.
