TracePharma as an Advasur 360 alternative
Advasur 360 focuses on guided pharmacy and light-wholesaler cutover with partner onboarding services. TracePharma fits teams who need wholesaler-grade EPCIS receiving, EPCIS 2.0 investigation, and multi-profile L4 workflows when they outgrow dispenser-only tooling.
Advasur is a Pulse-listed platform with a strong reputation for partner onboarding services—especially for pharmacies evaluating DSCSA for the first time. TracePharma fits when you need the same SFTP EPCIS interoperability path but want structured exceptions, EPCIS 2.0 trace search, and room to grow into wholesaler or buying-group profiles.

Choose Advasur when
- → You want onboarding-as-a-service with minimal internal IT—so cutover does not queue behind your help desk
- → Dispenser-only verify and receive workflows are sufficient—so you are not funding DC workflows you will not operate
- → Your buying group or wholesaler recommends Advasur specifically—so partner onboarding stays on a path they already support
Choose TracePharma when
- → You need EPCIS 2.0 investigation and serial-level audit trails—so trace search replaces spreadsheet reconstruction
- → You operate or support multiple sites or a buying group—so member health is visible before an inspection call
- → You may add wholesaler-grade workflows without switching vendors again—so growth to a secondary DC does not force re-platforming
