The Race for Track & Trace: Are 3PLs ready for serialization?

Read the full article: The Race for Track & Trace: Are 3PLs ready for serialization?:

. . ."Phase II, which goes into effect beginning in November 2017, requires item-level serialization and poses a real challenge for 3PLs.

Brian Daleiden, vice president of industry marketing at TraceLink, a cloud-based track-and-trace network, warned that many 3PLs are only starting to realize the potential issues and complications they face. “If you’re a pharmaceutical company supplying products covered under DSCSA, working with 3PLs, and you are not today having any active conversations about what your plans and expectations are, you are creating serious risk for your ability to supply products and meet the serialization deadlines,” he said. “Not to say compliance cannot be reached, but you should be having the conversation today.”"
