Acsis Streamlines the Integration of ERP, Epedigree and Rfid Device Management Solutions for Pharmaceutical Marketplace
Expertise Reduces RFID Serialization Integration Time
Marlton, New Jersey, August 7, 2007 - Acsis, Inc., a leader in integrated supply chain solutions, today announced that through a combination of technical and industry skills, experience and integration templates it can reduce the time required to integrate ERP systems, RFID serialization systems and electronic pedigree (ePedigree) solutions. Working with key pharmaceutical companies and SupplyScape®, the leading ePedigree software provider, Acsis is delivering cutting edge serialization solutions that seamlessly integrate packaging and distribution processes with ERP systems and SupplyScape's E-Pedigree(TM) data management system.
The pharmaceutical supply chain is undergoing dramatic changes as manufacturers, distributors and retailers accelerate various initiatives to protect patient safety, product integrity, supply chain security, company brand and product revenue streams. To help meet this challenge and the related federal and state mandates, Acsis, in conjunction with SupplyScape, is deploying the industry's first scaleable end-to-end RFID serialized solution, providing bi-directional integration of ERP systems and ePedigree applications. As part of the solution, Acsis integrates serialization information between the manufacturing shop floor and the ERP system; facilitating serialized Rx Advanced Shipping Notices (RxASN) and e-Pedigree records.
"Acsis' serialization and integration expertise complements SupplyScape's E-Pedigree application," said Greg Cathcart, senior vice president of sales, marketing and services of SupplyScape. "Acsis streamlines the integration of ERP software and shop floor systems with our E-Pedigree system to increase supply chain visibility, deliver high levels of product security and enhance patient safety."
"Pharmaceutical companies are looking for ways to accelerate the integration of RFID serialization, ERP and ePedigree solutions in a scaleable, automated and cost effective way," said Steven Selfridge, president and CEO of Acsis. "Acsis offers the expertise required to deliver an end-to-end solution, reducing costs and saving time."
