Case Study: French Pharma Company achieves EU FMD compliance and lower connectivity costs with TraceLink

French Pharma Selects TraceLink for Smooth LMS Integration, Lower Costs

French Pharma Company, a mid-size French pharmaceutical manufacturer and CMO, needed to comply with EU FMD while integrating a new line management system (LMS) across its own operations and a network of more than 30 CMOs. The company was focused on controlling costs and avoiding delays, but found that low-cost options lacked proven LMS integration and would require complex, time-consuming connections to its partners.

TraceLink provided a ready-to-use LMS integration and a network-based connectivity model that let French Pharma Company connect to 65% of its 50 partners through a single TraceLink connection, while TraceLink onboarded the rest. With TraceLink’s all-inclusive subscription model, the company reduced integration and partner-onboarding costs, shortened implementation time, and stayed on track for EU FMD compliance by the February 2019 deadline.
