Systech to integrate serialisation expertise with Axway’s track and
trace system
25 March 2009
Axway, a provider of multi-enterprise solutions and infrastructure,
and Systech International, producer of packaging execution systems (PES)
for the pharmaceutical industry, will partner to offer integrated
solutions to ensure customer readiness for upcoming European and Turkish
regulatory compliance.
Together, Axway and Systech will provide a complementary solution
that addresses brand protection, patient safety, product traceability,
and supply chain integrity for pharmaceutical products.
Systech manages serialisation in packaging while Axway manages the
process-aligning serialised packaging data with business and supply
chain data to enable end-to-end visibility and traceability. By
combining Systech’s serialisation expertise with Axway’s advanced track
& trace capabilities, manufacturers will be equipped to handle
forthcoming compliance demands, achieve operating efficiencies and
balance partner and customer relationships.
“Axway and Systech are deploying solutions for mutual customers,”
said Bruce Harder, director of business development and marketing,
Systech International. “Together, we are addressing the diverse needs of
companies facing regulatory compliance, brand integrity, and other
issues. Manufacturers can benefit from this relationship as they roll
out their compliance strategies on a global basis.”
Systech provides the foundation of unique item-level serialisation
and aggregation of serial numbers to packaging units. Systech’s software
manages the writing, reading, and printing of serial numbers at the line
level and controls the provisioning of serial numbers within the
packaging environment. Packagers using Systech’s solutions can meet
current regulatory compliance demands, such as France’s CIP 13, while
laying the foundation to meet future serialisation regulations.
Axway’s healthcare supply chain solutions help ensure regulatory
compliance and patient safety. To address global serialisation, Axway
Track & Trace collects and manages serialised product data throughout
the supply chain and links it to master data to enable viewing of the
entire product lifecycle. The solution includes product authentication,
counterfeit and diversion detection, global regulatory compliance,
recall management, data integrity assurance capabilities, and links
physical and financial supply chains.
“In the wake of new regulatory compliance, pharmaceutical companies
worldwide need to be more agile and adaptable, yet steadfast in their
serialisation and patient safety policies,” said Sia Zadeh, director of
business development at Axway. “By integrating their products, Axway and
Systech provide advanced supply chain solutions to make this possible.”
