Do I need a separate wholesaler portal if I use TracePharma?

TracePharma ingests EPCIS and matches transaction data—the accountability record for DSCSA. Many teams keep the wholesaler portal during transition, then rely on TracePharma for serial-level receiving and verification audit trails.

Preset: cardinal_sftp SFTP

Most dispensers and distributors receive serialized product from cardinal via SFTP. TracePharma onboarding wizard applies this preset. Operators focus on receiving workflows—not connector configuration from scratch.

Inbound interoperability

✓ SFTP inbound preset (cardinal_sftp) with partner adapter epcis_12_xml.
✓ EPCIS shipment files parsed into scan-first receiving and 3T matching.
✓ Exceptions surfaced when serials or transaction data are missing from the file.

Outbound & compliance

✓ Not applicable for typical pharmacy receive-only workflows.
✓ Distributors may ship downstream EPCIS from the same TracePharma tenant.
✓ VRS verification and FDA 3911 from received serial inventory.

Typical cutover steps

1 Request Cardinal SFTP credentials and confirm EPCIS XML drop schedule.
2 Share your SFTP host and tenant inbound path from Integrations.
3 Upload a sample Cardinal shipment file on Receiving before go-live.
