When the DSCSA was established in 2013, the pharmaceutical industry set a course towards creating a data-driven supply chain. Drug manufacturers have been on this multi-year journey, implementing serialized products, establishing the ability to verify salable returns, and now culminating in 2023 with an interoperable supply chain to track and trace all prescription drugs in the US.

The data behind the scenes must match and reflect the physical goods moving through the supply chain. If it doesn’t, manufacturers face the risk of their products being stopped and causing medicine delivery delays until the data and products are reconciled. In this webinar, we will discuss the four major components of compliance and how to get the data right to let the product flow:
