Par Pharmaceutical Chooses SupplyScape for Patient Safety
Woburn, MA, October 26, 2007 - SupplyScape Corporation, the leading provider of software to secure the safety and value of the pharmaceutical supply chain, today announced that Par Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc. ™ has selected SupplyScape's E-Pedigree™ data management solution as its drug distribution security platform to improve patient safety.
Based in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, Par is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on developing, manufacturing and marketing quality generic and proprietary pharmaceuticals. The company currently has more than one hundred prescription drug products, and is the seventh largest generic pharmaceutical company in the United States.
To increase the security of its supply chain and comply with California's 2009 ePedigree law, as well as meet other state and federal pedigree regulations, Par selected SupplyScape's E-Pedigree software. SupplyScape's market leadership and regulatory domain expertise were key decision factors. Another determining element was E-Pedigree's data management model, architected to allow the product and transaction information residing within the ePedigree to be used for improving business performance.
Supplyscape's E-Pedigree is built on the EPCglobal™ Drug Pedigree Messaging Standard and was one of the first electronic pedigree products in the industry to earn EPCglobal certified status. By using SupplyScape's EPCglobal ePedigrees to provide transaction security for its drugs, Par is creating a barrier against the increasing systemic attacks on the pharmaceutical supply chain.
"Par's decision to standardize on E-Pedigree shows its commitment to patient safety through supply chain security," said Greg Cathcart, senior vice president of sales, marketing, and services at SupplyScape. "Par Pharmaceutical joins a growing list of progressive organizations protecting their drug products with the most effective security mechanism available, EPCglobal ePedigrees, while at the same time building a foundation for future business value."
