Key challenges for the pharmaceutical industry ...

Compliance and regulation

Pharmaceutical supply chains must maintain full traceability, accurate records and audit-ready data to prove compliance, identify non-conformance early and avoid recalls, penalties and patient risk.

Expiry date management

Effective expiry management ensures correct stock rotation, provides early warnings as products near their end of life, and significantly reduces waste, write-offs and unnecessary disposal costs.

Supply chain visibility

Real-time visibility across the supply chain enables automated control, faster decisions and exception alerts, reducing delays, errors and disruptions across manufacturing, logistics and distribution.

Loss prevention & delivery proof

High-value products require secure tracking to prevent loss, diversion and disputes, providing verifiable proof of movement and delivery from warehouse through to final destination.

Cost & revenue control

Improved identification and tracking reduce wastage, prove deliveries and optimise operations, giving organisations tighter cost control, stronger margins and more predictable revenue outcomes.

Make all your assets intelligent ...

corielTHINGS handles the creation and programming of GS1 and EPC-compliant barcodes, QR codes, and RFID labels. Asset information is retrieved from your ERP/WMS and used to form a unique digital link, which allows systems downstream to identify every asset.

  • Track the precise location across the supply chain
  • Associate contents with the asset for item-level tracking
  • Manage asset maintenace and cleaning
  • Monitor partner usage of assets
  • Better utilise your entire asset pool

Complete regulatory compliance ...

Accurate monitoring of assets, and therefore the contents, makes adhering to pharma regulations and compliance simple. Serialisation, batch monitoring, storage, temperature control, and complete history are all managed in a single platform.

  • GxP (Good Practice family)
  • EU GDP (Good Distribution Practice) – 2013/C 343/01
  • UK Human Medicines Regulations 2012
  • DA 21 CFR Part 11
  • FDA DSCSA – Drug Supply Chain Security Act IATA CEIV Pharma
  • ISO 9001 – Quality Management Systems
  • EPCIS 1.2 / EPCIS 2.0

Know where your product/assets are ...

Once your assets are tagged, they can be read at scale and over long distances using a variety of equipment, from handhelds to fully automated conveyor and dock-door systems. The asset’s location and content are immediately updated in your existing ERP/WMS via our platform connector.

  • Hands-free/operator free identification of every asset
  • Immediate updates to your backend systems
  • Know the precise location of every asset
  • Micro-location: where is the asset within a site?
  • Macro-location: where is the asset within the whole supply chain?

100% accurate proof of delivery ...

corielTHINGS maintains a complete history of asset movement and contents association, providing an auditable trail of where the asset is right now, where it’s being and what is currently contained. This provides you and your partners with guaranteed proof of packing, movement and delivery.

  • Real-time, last seen status
  • Auditable trail of movements
  • Current and previous asset contents
  • Confirm packing, movement, dispatch, and receipt
