Case Study: UNITAX-Pharmalogistik achieves EU FMD compliance ahead of deadline with TraceLink

UNITAX Ramps Up Business Growth and Meets Compliance Deadlines Ahead of Time with TraceLink

UNITAX-Pharmalogistik, a fully integrated pharmaceutical CMO and logistics provider in Germany, needed a way to manage the complexity of serialization while staying ahead of the EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) deadline. With millions of packages handled annually across multiple customers, countries, sites, and systems, UNITAX was looking for a partner that could support a fast, accurate rollout and scale with future growth. The company chose TraceLink and its Life Sciences Cloud platform for serialization connectivity.

TraceLink implemented a network-based solution that let UNITAX connect to customers through a single integration rather than building costly point-to-point links for each partner. Using TraceLink’s interoperability, messaging, and configurable workflows, UNITAX accelerated customer connectivity, avoided hidden integration costs, and prepared for EU FMD ahead of the February 2019 deadline. As a result, UNITAX gained a scalable foundation for growth, reduced implementation complexity, and improved its ability to win new business from customers needing a serialization-ready CMO.
