Product Information Management
PIM for Suppliers

ONE source of truth for Product Information to meet demands of customers & regulators

The Challenge

The importance of accurately managing product data in healthcare is clear, as products have a direct impact human health and patient safety.  Enabling the supply chain to deliver the right products to the right people at the right time is critical.

However, it is difficult for medical device manufacturers to maintain a single source of truth to enable all supply chain processes and ensure healthcare product traceability and patient safety on a daily basis, while complying with the growing number of government UDI regulations.

Difficulties include:

  • Fragmentation of product data across different systems
  • High variability of product data for different channels, target markets and trading partners
  • Inaccurate, incomplete, and inconsistent data
  • Manual and error-prone processes
  • Inaccurate and unreliable business analytics and reporting 

The Solution

We recognise the complexity, added confusion, and difficulty associated with managing and sharing validated regulatory data necessary to meet the ever-evolving global compliance deadlines and commercial requirements of healthcare providers.

With a purpose-built and proven global UDI compliance solution, your company can take full control of its compliance processes.
