Product Verification

Verify serialized product identifiers and their status across both direct and indirect supply network relationships

Verify product with the speed and scale required by compliance mandates

Verify serialized product identifiers and their status across both direct and indirect supply network relationships in support of new business and regulatory requirements. With the secure publication of serialized product information into a network-facing repository, network entities purchasing, distributing, or otherwise handling a manufacturer's products can interrogate their serialized product identity as needed with the speed and scale demanded by today's supply chain. Product Information Manager - Product Verification provides:

• Product verification capabilities that support both direct and indirect trading partners
• High-velocity verification that meets the speed and scale of modern supply chains
• Integration with Verification Router Service (VRS) to secure verification process

New regulatory mandates create a new product verification requirements

Manufacturers, repackagers, wholesalers, and pharmacy dispensers face a range of new product verification requirements under the U.S. Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). Verification requests must be answered quickly to ensure the timely movement of product and to avoid noncompliance. Challenges include:

An influx of product verification requests

There are many scenarios in which network entities could be required to verify product identity, and the number of verification requests received on a daily basis is highly variable. Furthermore, requests could come in from trade partners or federal agencies like the FDA.

Demand for sub-second product verification

Manual verification is not a viable approach under the new DSCSA requirements. The U.S. pharmaceutical industry has mandated product verifications must be completed in less than one second.

Recalled or expired products risk supply chain safety

The safety and efficiency of the product supply chain is always under threat from recalled or expired products moving unnoticed through product supply operations. Identification and removal of such products improves patient safety.
