| Life Sciences |
| Overview |
| The Life Sciences industry is under constant scrutiny from both state and federal regulations. All participants in the life sciences supply chain, including manufacturers, distributors, and retailers must constantly add capabilities to their systems and processes to meet the latest regulatory hurdles. |
 With rapid globalization and increasingly porous borders, the life sciences industries have also faced challenges from counterfeit products being introduced into the supply chain. As a result, new ePedigree laws have been enacted at multiple states (FL, CA, IN, etc.) that require an authentic chain of custody for each pharmaceutical product throughout the supply chain. These laws are particularly challenging because of the number of products that needs to be tracked as well as differing requirements posed by different regulatory requirements from each state. |
| In addition, life sciences products that are distributed through traditional retail often times rely heavily on the use of promotions to introduce new products and increase volume on existing products. Optimizing promotions and inventory visibility is often key to optimizing the life sciences supply chain. |
| rfXcel Active ePedigree Management™ |
 rfXcel provides the Active ePedigree Management solution to ease the pain associated with compliance issues. By closing integrating with your existing application systems, this solution can work seamlessly to receive, archive, and send electronic ePedigree documents to maintain compliance with the new regulations.
By adopting this solution, you effectively reduce the risk and complexity associated with meeting different state and federal level regulations as they are introduced and passed. |
| The key differentiation is that we aim lower the pain associated with regulatory compliance. The application is highly automated and the user is freed to only address application exceptions as necessary. For the most part, ePedigree management can work seamlessly without a lot of user intervention. |
| As ePedigree becomes more pervasive, there will be a wealth of data concerning the flow of products that can be used later on for data mining and optimization purposes. |
