Traceability: The key for driving efficiencies in the supply chain

Alexion needed to create a traceability system that would address Colombia’s pilot specifications.
Traceability: The key for driving efficiencies in the supply chain

Working with multiple stakeholders across the company’s supply chain, Alexion led the way to implement GS1 standards, align processes, integrate systems and manage the necessary change for full traceability.

Alexion chose GS1 standards to uniquely identify, barcode and label packages and individual units of Soliris, a medicine selected for the traceability pilot. As the packages of Soliris traveled throughout the supply chain, employees and caregivers scanned the GS1 DataMatrix barcodes to capture and share information with all stakeholders.
