Your L4 hub from packaging line to wholesaler dock

Before TracePharma, serialization IT teams often reconcile L3 commissioning in spreadsheets while supply chain chases stale wholesaler ACKs by email. TracePharma connects plant-floor serialization to corporate traceability—allocate SGTIN ranges, reconcile commissioning events, ship DSCSA-compliant EPCIS, and monitor downstream partner health without a global network middleman.

Built for brand-owner operations

Manufacturers ship serialized product—they do not run dispenser verify workflows. TracePharma gates the tenant profile so operators focus on outbound serialization, customer ACK health, and saleable returns.

Allocate SGTIN serial pools Reserve serial ranges per GTIN and packaging line from your L4 authority.

Provision Hand off to L3 Export or push allocations to your plant-floor serialization system—file or API, your choice.

Reconcile Commissioning match Inbound commissioning EPCIS reconciles against allocated ranges and flags gaps.

Ship Outbound EPCIS Generate shipping events with TI, TH, and TS for wholesaler customers.

Monitor ACK & scorecard Track customer acknowledgement health and plant floor throughput.

Where TracePharma fits

Your plant runs L3 line software. TracePharma is the L4 corporate hub—EPCIS, partners, and compliance. National hubs (L5) stay outside our product; we connect your trading partners.

L3

Plant serialization

Line controllers, commissioning — software you already run
L4

TracePharma

EPCIS repository, partner connectivity, exceptions, compliance workflows
L5

National / regulatory hubs

FDA, EMVO, country hubs — not TracePharma; partners may connect upstream

TracePharma holds serial authority at L4 and hands ranges to your L3 line systems. Outbound EPCIS flows to wholesaler customers; national regulatory hubs (L5) remain outside our product—you connect partners directly.

One tenant workspace—no separate serialization backend bolted on after go-live.

L3↔L4

L3 serial provisioning

Reserve serial ranges per GTIN and packaging line from your L4 authority—so plant-floor systems never commission outside approved pools.

OUT

Outbound shipping EPCIS

Ship serialized product to wholesalers with attached TI, TH, and TS—so customers receive compliant transaction data on every outbound drop.

ACK

Customer ACK monitoring

Outbound message monitor with stale-ACK alerts—so supply chain sees partner health before a customer calls about missing serials.

RTN

Saleable returns

Receive return EPCIS from wholesalers and reconcile returned serials—so saleable returns stay tied to original outbound history.

PLT

Plant floor telemetry

Packaging line heartbeat via API—so operations scorecards tie outbound volume to line throughput, not guesswork.

TRC

Product trace

Search serial history across commissioning, ship, and return events—so QA answers trace requests without rebuilding timelines from email.

DSCSA compliance pillars

What auditors and wholesaler customers expect from a manufacturer L4—not a checkbox portal.

Outbound transaction data

Every shipment carries the TI, TH, and TS your customers need for DSCSA receiving and verification.

→ EPCIS 1.2 and 2.0 outbound generation
→ Customer partner GLN routing
→ Consolidated and quick outbound paths

Authorized trading partners

Validate wholesaler and distributor licenses before you ship serialized product.

→ ATP license fields on trading partners
→ Daily license revalidation schedule
→ Partner cockpit for customer health

Audit-ready evidence

Immutable activity log, trace search, and compliance export when FDA or a customer asks for proof.

→ Operations scorecard API
→ Compliance export JSON/CSV
→ Commissioning gap visibility on scorecard

Why manufacturers choose TracePharma

→ Direct wholesaler connectivity — AS2, SFTP, and HTTPS to McKesson, Cardinal, ABC, and regional partners. No per-transaction network fees.
→ Your L3, our L4 — Keep your plant-floor serialization software. TracePharma is the corporate serial authority and EPCIS hub.
→ Mid-market TCO — Enterprise traceability depth without TraceLink-scale implementation timelines.
→ Operator UX — Persona-based navigation for serialization IT, QA, and supply chain—not a dashboard only consultants can configure.

Compared to enterprise L4 suites

TraceLink, UniTrace, and OPTEL serve global MAH programs well. TracePharma wins when you need US DSCSA outbound operations, ACK monitoring, and L3 handoff—without funding fifteen global regulation modules you will never turn on.
