By: Acsis Inc. Acsis, a leading provider of supply chain serialization solutions, undertook the survey to uncover expectations for payback from companies’ compliance costs. The survey results will be addressed in a free Pharmaceutical Commerce webinar, beginning February 10 at 2 p.m. EST (register here (http://events.newanglemedia.com/ The Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) dictates that manufacturers serialize each product (or saleable unit) and electronically share that serialization data with supply partners by November 2017. This deadline is just one of many leading to the ultimate DSCSA mandate of complete unit-level traceability with aggregation and inference, which for most companies will require major technology investments, as well as drastic changes to supply chain processes and warehouse workflows. While many manufacturers are on their way to deploying serialization at the packaging line, 43% are concerned about the warehouse serialization challenges of technical integration and 53% about the readiness of their outsourced partners. Supply chain managers expect that the enhanced precision and extended visibility from the serialization investment will deliver value-based and revenue-generating payback, such as more precise chargebacks and less grey market leakage. Forty- “While immediate compliance may be the initial driver for serialization, it’s clear that it shouldn’t be the only driving force behind a solution choice and deployment. Without a longer-term view of compliance mandates and milestones, companies run the risk of adding even more disintegrated systems, additional manual processes and rework of current initiatives.” – John DiPalo, Chief Strategy Officer at Acsis, Inc.
