EPCglobal, part of the not-for-profit supply chain standards organization GS1, is dedicated to driving global adoption of the Electronic Product Code™ (EPC) for supply chain excellence.

The certification mark ensures that software products have been tested and will work in predictable ways within the overall architecture of the EPC Network.

“We are excited to receive this prestigious mark of certification from EPCglobal.”said Soheil Raissi, FastPoint’s President & CEO. “Our innovative systems utilize state-of-the-art technology to provide practical and easy-to-use solutions for Track & Trace and Drug Pedigree for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries.”
“By choosing software with an EPCglobal Software Compliance Certification Mark, the end-user can be confident that the software will perform according to defined EPCglobal standards,” said Nicholas Fergusson, Director Certification of EPCglobal at GS1. “With this information readily available, they will have more time to focus their resources on completing pilots and capturing information.”

To receive the software certification mark, FastPoint ePedigree had to pass rigorous testing conducted by MET Laboratories, a third-party, nationally-recognized testing facility located in Baltimore, Maryland in the United States. The mark includes an 18-digit Global Service Relation Number (GSRN) that is globally unique to that specific software product.
