First serialization project in the industry for pharma giant

Case study

An alarming number of counterfeit drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, enter the United States every day. As much as 10% of the global drug supply is counterfeit, resulting in the potential for serious side effects, disability or worse, not to mention the financial impact on drug suppliers. How can the pharmaceutical industry keep the supply chain safe on the long voyage from ingredient to consumer?

Results

First fully serialized pharmaceutical warehouse project

The global pharmaceutical manufacturer implemented Körber’s serialization solution to meet early compliance requirements under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA), building a foundation for full unit-level traceability.

Flexible integration without replacing core WMS

By using an adaptive serialization platform integrated with existing WMS and WCS, the company avoided major system rewrites and achieved case- and bottle-level serial tracking with minimal disruption.

70% lower investment with enhanced compliance

The serialization system delivered regulatory compliance and improved patient safety infrastructure at approximately 70% less cost than originally projected, while enabling expansion of serialization across distribution centers.
