MD Logistics Offers Serialization Session at JDA FOCUS 2016

Accelogix and MD Logistics present on pharmaceutical serialization during JDA Focus 2016 session.

MD Logistics’ Jim Hepp and Jon Francis join Seth Patin to discuss the logistics of pharmaceutical serialization and retail serialization.

Accelogix president Seth Patin will be joining MD Logistics at a breakout session during the upcoming JDA FOCUS 2016 conference. The session, entitled “Serialization: The Differing Worlds of Retail and Life Sciences,” will be led by MD Logistics’ Jon Francis, Director of IT, and Jim Hepp, Director of Strategic Development and Planning.

What are the Primary Drivers towards Supply Chain Serialization?

There are serious risk factors in the pharmaceutical supply chain that have driven the United States to pass legislation requiring detailed, single document traceability of pharmaceuticals from point of origin all the way to the consumer. Chief among these, of course, is patient safety. It is also crucial to verify the authenticity of each product, from manufacturer to shipper, to avoid the dangerous consequences of counterfeit drugs reaching patients.

The need to protect brands from counterfeit, and verify shippers of product, are key drivers towards implementing retail serialization in the supply chain.

JDA WMS Delivers the Solution

To meet the differing challenges of pharmaceutical and retail serialization, MD Logistics worked with Accelogix to design the solution in JDA Warehouse Management System (WMS). The results are enabling MD Logistics to support its clients by delivering on the traceability requirements of the future today.

During the session, Jon, Jim, and Seth will present details on how challenges were met, and discuss how the JDA WMS solution can meet your unique needs.
