The pharmaceutical supply chain isn’t getting any simpler. With the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) in full force, manufacturers, wholesalers, and dispensers are pressured to keep their operations compliant while minimizing costly disruptions. That’s why choosing the right Error Handling and Transaction Monitoring solution is more than just a technical decision—it’s a business-critical one.
LSPedia Investigator and DIAMIND Sentry claim to handle DSCSA exceptions and ensure compliance. But let’s be clear: when you compare apples to apples, DIAMIND Sentry is the obvious winner. Let’s break it down.
Automated Error Detection: Who Does It Better?
Both solutions scan EPCIS files for errors, but DIAMIND Sentry provides better visability—and without hidden fees. While Investigator charges extra for its reporting module, DIAMIND Sentry includes full validation reports at no additional cost.
The Investigator solution flags syntax, semantic, and business rule violations, but DIAMIND Sentry takes it further—analyzing both inbound and outbound files with a single validation report. That means you see all errors simultaneously instead of dealing with fragmented alerts that require extra digging.
And let’s talk about how you access that information. Investigators rely on email notifications to inform users about errors. That’s fine—if you like clogging up your inbox and manually tracking issues. DIAMIND Sentry streamlines the process with a live dashboard, showing real-time errors and resolutions without email overload—no extra charges, no clutter. Just instant access to the data you need.
Compliance Without the Hassle
Staying DSCSA-compliant shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. The investigator enforces compliance by validating EPCIS data against DSCSA and GS1 standards. That’s doing the bare minimum. DIAMIND Sentry, however, integrates compliance seamlessly into daily operations. Instead of making users chase down violations, it presents a clear, organized view of all transactions and flags anything that needs attention—before it becomes a problem.
Plus, DIAMIND Sentry ensures all transactions meet DSCSA requirements right out of the gate. No guesswork, no delays. Just smooth, automated compliance.
Purchase Order Tracking: Business Insights You Won’t Get Elsewhere
Compliance isn’t the only challenge in managing the pharmaceutical supply chain—tracking purchase orders (PO) accurately is just as critical.
Unlike LSPedia Investigator, DIAMIND Sentry’s PO Tracker is a built-in business report that offers full visibility into purchase order status, enabling you to track orders in real-time, monitor progress, and identify discrepancies before they lead to delays, giving you a sense of security and control over your supply chain.
With PO Tracker, you don’t just monitor compliance—you gain a complete operational overview that helps improve forecasting, prevent disruptions, and keep everything running smoothly.
Collaboration That Works
Errors don’t fix themselves—people do. That’s why collaboration tools matter. Investigator sends error notifications and provides live links for resolution. But DIAMIND Sentry takes teamwork up a notch with built-in ticketing and automated workflows. Need to loop in a partner to fix an issue? No problem. Sentry keeps everyone in the loop without the back-and-forth email chains.
And because DIAMIND Sentry is designed for manufacturers, wholesalers, and dispensers alike, it fosters a shared approach to problem-solving across the entire supply chain. Everyone gets the visibility they need, reducing friction and speeding up resolution times.
Visibility and Ease of Use: No Contest
You shouldn’t need a degree in data science to navigate your Error Handling and Transaction Monitoring system. The investigator is functional, but relying on emails and separate logs can slow operations down. DIAMIND Sentry, on the other hand, offers a modern, user-friendly interface with mobile access, real-time dashboards, and customizable views. Whether you’re in the office or on the go, your data is always at your fingertips.
The Bottom Line: DIAMIND Sentry Wins
Let’s be honest. DSCSA compliance is complicated enough without adding unnecessary frustration. You need a modern, intelligent solution that prevents compliance issues before they happen, keeps your supply chain moving seamlessly, and saves you money. DIAMIND Sentry isn’t just another Error Handling and Transaction Monitoring tool—it’s the smarter, faster, and more efficient way to eliminate EPCIS errors permanently.
