Florida Pedigree Struggles Slashed by Newest SupplyScape Solution

Express Package Enables Rapid Pedigree Compliance; Lowers Costs

WOBURN, Mass., June 7, 2006 - With less than a month remaining before Florida's July 1 deadline, many organizations are scrambling to comply with the state's drug pedigree law. To help them meet mandatory Florida requirements for drug pedigrees, today SupplyScape Corporation began shipping its newest product, SupplyScape E-Pedigree Version 3.6. This industry-leading electronic pedigree solution is easy and fast to implement and delivers the lowest total cost of pedigree management. The company also announced an accelerated pedigree compliance program, Compliance Express, by which organizations can implement E-Pedigree within just four weeks.

Organizations with an urgent need to meet pressing regulatory deadlines can immediately take advantage of E-Pedigree's rapid implementation features. Many companies choose the ASP hosting option, while others deploy internally. Fast integration with financial ERP and warehouse management systems occurs through the flexible SupplyScape API. Process variations from one warehouse facility to another are managed easily using simple business rule configuration. Common processes including kitting and repackaging are handled automatically through built-in features and don't require custom development.

"The SupplyScape solution was remarkably stable and robust," said Bryan Russell, ePedigree Service Line Leader, Deloitte Consulting LLP. "My client was able to implement a solution on-time, on-budget, and well ahead of the Florida regulations."

E-Pedigree V3.6 contains many features to help customers quickly jumpstart their pedigree program to meet the pending deadline.

"Customers specifically point to our Compliance Express implementation process, our SAP NetWeaver certified interface, and our diverse E-Pedigree deployment options as just some of the elements that get them from project start to fully compliant in four to six weeks," said Jeff Durand, vice president of professional services at SupplyScape.

Leading a Safe and Secure Pharmaceutical Supply Chain

Leading pharmaceutical companies, wholesalers, and retail pharmacies selected SupplyScape E-Pedigree to manage pedigree regulatory compliance and improve pharmaceutical supply chain security. The company's flagship product was first introduced to the marketplace in November 2004 and has benefited from over three years of development and close industry collaboration. As a result, this latest version is built on unprecedented in-the-field experience across the Pharma supply chain.

Just within the past month, a significant number of companies started their E-Pedigree implementations and are now putting the finishing touches on their compliance-ready systems. In the next weeks, they will complete testing of sending and receiving electronic pedigrees with their trading partners to ensure everything will be ready on time.

"Unlike other pedigree solutions that bog you down in custom development and require you to re-tool your warehouse process, E-Pedigree is fast, easy and complete," said SupplyScape President Shabbir Dahod. "With regulatory deadlines fast approaching, companies want a compliant solution that is ready for deployment today, functionally robust to address their existing processes. A misstep now has ramifications not only for a given company but also for its trading partners."

Extensive Business Process Support

Technology infrastructures are integrated quickly due to E-Pedigree's platform-independent design. Customers have leveraged this design when implementing on enterprise platforms such as SAP R/3 and Oracle Fusion, databases including Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server, as well as application servers from IBM and BEA to JBoss.

SupplyScape E-Pedigree V3.6 offers several additional advancements that reflect the unique business operations of the pharmaceutical supply chain. These features include:

RX ASN Advanced Ship Notice capability
