With DSCSA interoperability now in effect, system reliability isn’t just important — it’s the foundation of compliance.

Outages Are Already Disrupting Pharma Supply Chains

Across the industry, compliance platforms have faltered — with outages causing EPCIS transmissions to fail, shipments to be delayed, and partners to lose confidence. These aren’t edge cases; they’ve been real disruptions at the worst possible moments.

Now that enforcement is active, there’s no buffer. Every file must move on time, every time. When a system goes down, compliance, operations, and trust are all immediately at risk.

Instability Creates Compliance Gaps

Platform downtime doesn’t just stall IT — it puts the entire supply chain in jeopardy:

• EPCIS file deliveries fail
• Shipments are delayed or held
• Manual workarounds drain resources
• Compliance teams scramble under audit pressure

The result is wasted time, partner frustration, and higher exposure in an enforcement era where precision and stability are non-negotiable.

If your platform regularly forces workarounds or leaves you wondering “Did that file really go through?” — reliability has become your biggest compliance gap.

If you’re managing supply chain or operations for high-value medications, you know how critical accuracy, compliance, and real-time coordination are. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: many organizations are still handling sensitive medications with outdated tools and partial data.

That’s where rfxcel’s Accurate Drug Management (ADM) system comes in, a purpose-built platform that brings precision and visibility to medication workflows across the supply chain from manufacturing through hospital and clinic distribution.

What Goes Wrong Without Full Visibility

Even in highly regulated environments, many companies are still tracking inventory manually or relying on outdated ERP add-ons. This often means they can’t see in real time what’s been used, where it’s gone, or when it’s due to expire. Systems rarely talk to each other, which leads to medication being dispensed too early, or worse, past its shelf life.

That’s a dangerous combination—especially when patient safety, compliance, and costly drug products are on the line.

The Case for Accurate Drug Management

rfxcel’s ADM system was designed specifically to address these pain points for healthcare providers, manufacturers, and supply chain partners managing high-value medications.

ADM combines real-time medication tracking, predictive inventory alerts, and EHR integration to give supply chain and clinical teams a complete, accurate picture of what’s available, where it is, and how it’s being used. Everything from usage logs to expiration data is captured automatically, improving compliance and reducing waste.

This level of control isn’t just a tech upgrade—it’s a way to reduce waste, avoid compliance errors, and ensure patients receive the right medication at the right time.

Why This Should Matter to You

• Are you confident your system prevents premature dispensing?
• Can you forecast inventory down to the clinic level, 7 days out?
• Are expired products still being pulled manually from shelves?

If any of these raise doubts, it’s time to rethink your approach to drug management. Interested in seeing ADM in action? Fill out this form, and one of our specialists will reach out to you soon.

If you’re already using TraceLink’s Track and Trace solution, you know the power of real-time product visibility, seamless compliance, and streamlined serialization. But let’s be honest—tracking products across an increasingly complex supply chain isn’t always smooth sailing. Errors creep in, data gets messy, and you need more than just visibility when compliance deadlines loom. You need control.

That’s where DIAMIND Sentry comes in. Pairing DIAMIND Sentry with your existing Track and Trace solution isn’t just a good idea—it’s the upgrade your operation needs to keep things running without a hitch. Let’s break it down.

TraceLink Track and Trace: The Basics—But Is It Enough?

By now, you know what TraceLink offers. It’s a cloud-based system that serializes pharmaceutical products, connects stakeholders, and helps companies meet compliance requirements. For some companies, this might be enough. But even the best track-and-trace system has a weak spot—data integrity and error handling. That’s where things get tricky.

Where Track and TraceLeaves Gaps

Despite its strengths, Track and Trace doesn’t automatically fix bad data. Errors in EPCIS files, incomplete transaction records, and miscommunications between supply chain partners can derail compliance efforts and delay shipments. If you’ve ever had to untangle an EPCIS data mess manually, you know the pain.

Wouldn’t it be better if those errors were caught before they became a problem?

DIAMIND Sentry: Your Safety Net

DIAMIND Sentry was designed to handle the gaps that the Track and Trace solution leaves open. It’s an intelligent error-handling and transaction-monitoring tool that works alongside Track and Trace to clean up data issues before they spiral out of control. Here’s what you get:

• Automated EPCIS file evaluation – Stop chasing down compliance errors. Sentry flags and fixes data discrepancies automatically.
• Advanced error handling – Detailed validation reports mean no more guesswork.
• Real-time dashboards – Monitor data flows, identify trends, and spot issues early.
• Collaborative issue resolution – Automated notifications and ticketing streamline communication across teams.
• Seamless integration – Works with your existing systems without a headache.

In short, DIAMIND Sentry doesn’t replace TraceLink’s Track and Trace solution—it makes it smarter, more efficient, and more reliable.

The Real Benefits of Using Both

Still wondering if you really need DIAMIND Sentry? Here’s what happens when you use it alongside TraceLink’s Track and Trace solution:

• Fewer Disruptions – Transaction errors no longer bring operations to a grinding halt.
• Stronger Compliance – DSCSA requirements are met without last-minute scrambles.
• Lower Costs –With better efficiency, labor expenses are minimized, making operations more cost-effective.
• Better Collaboration – Internal teams and external partners stay aligned without endless email chains.
• Improved Data Quality – Clean, accurate data leads to better decision-making and fewer surprises.

Why Settle for Half the Solution?

Think of it this way—TraceLink’s Track and Trace solution gets you on the road, but it doesn’t tell you what’s ahead. Without deeper insights, you’re stuck reacting to problems instead of preventing them. Gaps in data integrity, error handling, and real-time visibility leave you exposed to compliance risks and inefficiencies.

If you rely solely on TraceLink’s Track and Trace solution, you’re operating with blind spots. When compliance, efficiency, and accuracy are on the line, you need more than just basic serialization—you need a system that anticipates risks before they become costly issues.

It’s time to go beyond Track and Trace. Contact us today to see DIAMIND Sentry in action!

Pharmaceutical companies operate in one of the most highly regulated industries in the world. Managing compliance, ensuring product safety, and preventing counterfeit drugs are non-negotiable. That’s why track-and-trace solutions have become essential—but not all solutions are created equal. 

On the surface, TraceLink Track and Trace and rfxcel Traceability Solution (rTS) might seem similar. Both offer serialization, real-time monitoring, and compliance management. But when it comes to delivering true visibility, security, and flexibility, the differences are significant. Let’s explore why rTS is the superior choice.

The Illusion of Control: Where TraceLink Falls Apart

At first glance, TraceLink Track and Trace is a solid compliance solution. It’s cloud-based, offers real-time monitoring, and connects supply chain stakeholders. However, a closer look reveals some notable challenges.

The first significant issue is TraceLink’s multi-tenant cloud-based infrastructure. While cloud models provide convenience, they can also introduce limitations. Track and Trace’s single cloud environment means customers share resources, which can lead to potential performance bottlenecks. Additionally, companies must adhere to TraceLink’s update schedule, sometimes receiving system changes that may not align with their operational priorities. 

In contrast, rTS offers both cloud and on-premise deployment options, giving businesses control over their compliance environment. This flexibility ensures that organizations can align the software with their specific security policies and operational needs rather than being locked into a single provider’s ecosystem.

Another critical distinction is TraceLink’s approach to serialization. While serialization assigns unique identifiers to products, it does not automatically equate to full traceability. Without comprehensive data validation and advanced actionable insights, serialization alone does not provide end-to-end supply chain visibility.

rTS, on the other hand, offers a complete traceability framework to include comprehensive data verification, seamless integration with global reporting systems, and robust analytics. This ensures companies achieve superior transparency, from raw materials to finished goods, minimizing risk and enhancing supply chain security.

Compliance Management: A Tailored Approach

TraceLink’s compliance management capabilities follow a standardized framework designed to meet generic regulatory requirements. However, this rigid structure may not accommodate the specific operational workflows of different pharmaceutical companies. As a result, businesses may have to adjust their processes to fit the software rather than using a system tailored to their needs.

rTS takes a more flexible approach by allowing companies to customize compliance workflows. The solution supports industry-specific reporting requirements, integrates with global regulatory agencies, and ensures compliance efforts align with real-world operations. By offering automation, customizable rules, and seamless data exchange, rTS simplifies compliance management while enhancing overall efficiency.

The Clear Winner: rTS

If Track and Trace meets the minimum compliance requirements, rTS is the gold standard. It ensures data quality and accuracy through extensive validation and enrichment processes. Unlike solutions that rely largely on serialized numbers, rTS cross-references and verifies each data point, reducing errors and improving traceability across the supply chain.

Enhanced real-time monitoring is another area where rTS excels. While TraceLink provides real-time tracking, rTS leverages IoT-based tracking and sophisticated analytics to offer deep visibility into supply chain movements. This level of insight allows pharmaceutical companies to proactively manage product safety, prevent counterfeiting, and address disruptions before they escalate.

The most significant advantage of rTS is that it extends beyond compliance to provide actionable business intelligence. Compliance is not just about avoiding penalties—it’s about optimizing supply chain operations, improving efficiency, and reducing costs. With advanced analytics and predictive insights, this solution helps companies make smarter decisions based on real-time data. Businesses can identify inefficiencies, anticipate potential disruptions, and gain deeper insights into supply chain dynamics while maintaining full regulatory compliance.

The Bottom Line: Choose a Competitive Edge, Not Just Compliance

Pharmaceutical compliance isn’t optional—but your choice of compliance software is.  While Track and Trace provides a functional compliance solution, it lacks the control, visibility, and adaptability that pharmaceutical companies need. Businesses relying on TraceLink may face limitations in customization, data access, and operational flexibility.

rTS  is about future-proofing supply chains, eliminating inefficiencies, and achieving true end-to-end visibility. With its superior data validation, enhanced real-time monitoring, seamless integration, and business intelligence capabilities, rTS is the clear choice for pharmaceutical companies that demand more than just the bare minimum.

Choosing the right compliance software isn’t just about meeting regulatory standards—it’s about ensuring product safety, maintaining operational efficiency, and staying ahead in an industry where precision and transparency are paramount.  See how rTS provides real-time visibility, security, and control beyond the basics.

Our cold chain solution is more than just refrigerated storage and transportation; it’s a sophisticated network of sensors, data analytics, and real-time monitoring designed to protect high-value goods at every step. With stricter regulatory requirements and rising consumer expectations, businesses can’t afford to leave temperature control to chance.

What is Cold Chain Technology?

Cold chain technology refers to the systems and processes transporting and storing temperature-sensitive products while maintaining optimal conditions. These products often include vaccines, biologics, insulin, and perishable foods, which can lose effectiveness or spoil if exposed to unsuitable temperatures.

The primary goal of cold chain technology is to ensure the integrity and quality of these products through precise temperature monitoring, robust data collection, and timely interventions. In other words, it safeguards compliance with industry standards and regulatory frameworks while also preventing financial losses caused by degraded products.

How Cold Chain Technology Works

Our Cold Chain solution offers real-time visibility and control, ensuring products stay within the required parameters. To understand how this works in practice, let’s break down the key components of an effective cold chain system:

• Item-Level Tracking: Every product is monitored in real-time, ensuring that individual units—not just entire shipments—are accounted for. The system precisely tracks conditions, whether it’s a batch of vaccines or perishable seafood.
• Smart Sensors & Data Capture: Advanced IoT sensors, RFID tags, and barcodes collect critical information, such as temperature deviations, duration of exposure, and handling history.
• AI-Driven Insights: Machine learning algorithms analyze real-time data to detect inefficiencies, predict risks, and suggest preventive actions before issues arise.
• Immediate Alerts & Compliance Reporting: If temperatures shift outside safe ranges, instant notifications trigger corrective actions. Detailed reports ensure compliance with industry regulations, minimizing liability and waste.

Why Cold Chain Technology Matters

The stakes are high for businesses managing temperature-sensitive products. A single lapse in maintaining optimal conditions can lead to product degradation, loss of consumer trust, and regulatory repercussions. Cold chain technology mitigates these risks by offering end-to-end visibility, proactive management, and robust data analytics.

Take pharmaceuticals: a vaccine that overheats by just a few degrees may lose its potency. Without a robust cold chain system, businesses risk costly recalls, regulatory penalties, and reputation damage.

Food distribution faces similar stakes. Bacteria multiply rapidly when food isn’t stored at proper temperatures, increasing the risk of contamination. Cold chain solutions prevent these issues, reducing waste and ensuring consumers receive fresh, safe products.
