Arvato Systems, Advanco Form Serialization Partnership
The collaboration is centered around meeting track-and-trace requirements.
Arvato Systems, an IT specialist and multi-cloud service provider that supplies serialization solutions for the pharmaceutical industry, and advanco, a pharma track-and-trace solutions provider, are joining forces.1
The collaboration utilizes advanco's ARC platform and Arvato Systems' CSDB serialization platform, one that is used pharma companies worldwide to meet serialization requirements. This combination provides a plethora of options available at customers’ fingertips, while opening up the door to cost savings by taking advantage of the efficiencies that the platforms provide.
For one, advanco's ARC platform features solutions such as the Serialization and Aggregation Packaging Management Cockpit, ARC MES and ARC LES, which is able to all warehouse and packaging operations on the shop floor. ARC is built on a scalable serialization and aggregation software platform and can reportedly tackle challenges ranging from low-volume scenarios to complex heterogeneous environments.
As for Arvato Systems, the company has gained recognition as a digitalization partner for the healthcare sector in particular, although it does operation in other industries as well.
Many links of the pharma supply chain may be aware of, serialization is continuing to become a requirement—specifically for pharmaceutical manufacturers—so that a system of drug safety, traceability and authenticity within the chain can be established.
“Governments across the globe are mandating ever more complex serialization requirements,” said Alf Goebel, advanco’s CEO. “It therefore follows that serialization providers need to be ever-more flexible in their approach, while offering incredibly complex solutions. The comprehensive partnership offers pharmaceutical manufacturers the best of both worlds by allowing them to choose components from both ARC and CSDB in a completely customizable manner dependent on their needs. This will provide them with some of the most intuitive, flexible serialization solutions available in the world today, capable of meeting the specific serialization needs of all countries worldwide.”
Stefan Moch, VP of health at Arvato Systems, sees the benefit in having the two parties come together for this effort.
“Serialization solution providers are judged by their ability to offer complex solutions in a cost-efficient manner,” he commented. “By joining with advanco, clients will benefit from two of the most powerful serialization tools, which can be blended in a way that will by incredibly time and cost-efficient in the long-term.”
