Case Study: Large European Pharma Company achieves EU FMD compliance with TraceLink

Proven CMO Connectivity Prompts Pharma to Switch to TraceLink

A large European pharma company needed a fast way to exchange serialization data with more than 100 CMOs and brand customers ahead of the EU FMD deadline, while also connecting to the European Hub. After six months of little progress with its original provider, the company re-evaluated its options and turned to TraceLink and its Life Sciences Cloud for a more proven serialization and compliance solution.

TraceLink implemented a purpose-built EU FMD compliance module and a network-based onboarding model that required just one connection to reach CMOs and customers, eliminating the need for 100+ point-to-point integrations. With 66% of the company’s CMOs already on the TraceLink network and TraceLink’s team handling the rest, the pharma company was on track to ship serialized product by the February 2019 deadline, while also setting itself up for ongoing compliance and future growth.
