TraceLink Smart Inventory Tracker: Revolutionizing Warehouse Compliance and Serialization

TraceLink’s Smart Inventory Tracker (SIT) is a cutting-edge mobile application designed to streamline the handling of serialized products throughout the supply chain and within distribution operations. As part of TraceLink's integrated digital supply network, SIT offers a comprehensive, user-friendly tool that operates seamlessly on Android mobile devices. Deployed across distribution centers, packaging facilities, and other operational hubs, this solution ensures compliance with stringent regulatory standards while optimizing warehouse processes.

At its core, Smart Inventory Tracker serves as a cloud-based end-to-end warehouse compliance solution tailored to meet both business and regulatory demands. It empowers companies to comply with critical regulations such as the EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) and the U.S. Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). By leveraging TraceLink’s advanced information-sharing capabilities, SIT enhances operational efficiency within warehouses, enabling businesses to verify and update the status of serialized products, receive real-time feedback, and generate compliance reports based on configurable workflows.

One of the standout features of Smart Inventory Tracker is its seamless integration with national medicine verification systems (NMVS). With connections to over 30 NMVS platforms worldwide, SIT supports traceability, receiving, and distribution requirements under EU FMD and DSCSA. Additionally, it integrates smoothly with TraceLink’s saleable returns verification solution, ensuring businesses stay compliant while maintaining operational flexibility. Notably, SIT can operate on virtually any Android mobile device without requiring direct integration with traditional Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), offering unparalleled adaptability and cost-effectiveness.

By integrating into TraceLink’s broader digital supply network platform, Opus, companies gain access to a fully customizable solution tailored to their unique warehouse needs. This integration unlocks a host of benefits, including improved automation of serialized product processes like receiving, pick-pack-ship, internal transfers, inventory counting, and returns. Furthermore, SIT helps mitigate the challenges posed by serialized products by introducing purpose-built functionalities that harmonize with existing systems rather than disrupting them. This approach ensures minimal disruption to current operations while maximizing productivity gains.

Another key strength of Smart Inventory Tracker lies in its ability to manage post-batch rework and exception handling for activities such as sampling, verification, or dealing with damaged goods. Unlike conventional methods that necessitate sending products back to packaging sites, SIT enables these tasks to be completed efficiently on-site. Moreover, it facilitates aggregation management—supporting aggregation, de-aggregation, and re-aggregation—while laying the groundwork for future mass decommissioning capabilities. Companies can also receive delivery orders from WMS or ERP systems and verify the accuracy of packed products, enhancing overall warehouse efficiency.

Compliance verification and decommissioning procedures are significantly streamlined through SIT, particularly for U.S. DSCSA use cases related to product verification and returns, EU FMD compliance requirements (e.g., Article 16, 22, and 23), and Russian warehouse and aggregation compliance scenarios. The application further simplifies scanning and verification processes for U.S. DSCSA suspect and saleable returns product compliance, reducing manual intervention and minimizing errors.

In summary, TraceLink Smart Inventory Tracker represents a transformative leap forward in warehouse compliance and serialization management. By combining robust functionality with ease of use, it empowers companies to achieve regulatory compliance, optimize warehouse operations, and reduce operational complexity—all while driving greater efficiency and accuracy. Integrated into TraceLink’s digital supply network, SIT equips businesses with the tools they need to make real-time decisions and automate critical processes directly from the warehouse floor, fostering a smarter, more agile supply chain ecosystem.
