TraceLink and Advanco Form Serialization Partnership

TraceLink has partnered with Advanco to support pharmaceutical manufacturers with the integration of line management and enterprise systems when complying with new serialization regulations.

The agreement will see TraceLink resell Advanco’s ARC Suite software, a software solution that integrates packaging lines and enterprise serialization repositories. It will allow pharmaceutical and contract manufacturing companies to utilize multiple line management systems, providing purchasing flexibility, while also simplifying integration with the TraceLink Life Sciences Cloud at the enterprise and network level for serialization.

As a provider for enterprise and network system Levels 4 and 5, TraceLink will offer the Advanco ARC Suite software to customers looking for a consistent global site server solution that is independent of the Line Management System (LMS).

"Pharmaceutical and contract manufacturers continue to face a number of challenges in synchronizing multiple interconnected packaging levels in order to comply with serialization regulations. TraceLink and Advanco recognized the need to provide a flexible option for the industry to cut down on time-consuming and costly integrations between line management and enterprise systems and efficiently comply with serialization regulations," said Shabbir Dahod, president and chief executive officer, TraceLink.

ARC Suite will streamline integration across all LMS solutions and remove any restrictions associated with purchasing from multiple line vendors resulting from implementing a proprietary site server. According to the companies, this simplified, interoperable approach will allow manufacturers to leverage any combination of line management solutions, while improving procurement and deployment flexibility.

Olgun Yenersoy, founder and chief executive officer, Advanco, said, "TraceLink is the global leader in serialization and track and trace at the enterprise level because its proven Life Sciences Cloud serialization platform enables more than 500 pharmaceutical manufacturers, CMOs, distributors, 3PLs and dispensers to exchange data with over 248,000 supply chain partners. The TraceLink and Advanco integration offers true simplicity in system integration and will help facilitate smoother deployment of serialization solutions for all packaging levels. We look forward to this partnership with TraceLink and working collaboratively to help the industry achieve compliance in the EU, U.S. and other global markets."
