SupplyScape Selected by Sciele Pharma for Transaction and Product Security
Woburn, MA, June 17, 2008 - SupplyScape Corporation, the leading provider of software to secure the safety and value of the pharmaceutical supply chain, today announced that Sciele® Pharma, Inc. has selected SupplyScape’s E-Pedigree™ data management solution to manage serialized product pedigrees and provide the foundation for increased supply chain visibility and business value.
Sciele Pharma is a pharmaceutical company specializing in sales, marketing and development of branded prescription products focused on cardiovascular/diabetes, women’s health and pediatrics. The company was founded in 1992 and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.
Sciele Pharma has grown rapidly with a strong emphasis on patient safety and ensuring that its drug products safely reach the patient., Sciele Pharma is enhancing supply chain security and operating efficiencies to meet future state and national pedigree requirements due to: (1) the complexity accompanying a growing products portfolio that will double in number by 2011, and (2) coordinating implementation across a business model made up of more than 15 contract manufacturers and packagers responsible for producing Sciele’s prescription products. In addition, it was crucial that Sciele Pharma be able to leverage its investment in serialized product pedigrees to increase operational efficiency in inventory visibility and returns management.
After careful evaluation, Sciele Pharma selected SupplyScape’s E-Pedigree solution based on SupplyScape’s industry presence – its leadership in industry standards, experience with complex pharma serialization projects, and a proven product with the largest customer base across the pharmaceutical supply chain.
“We’re impressed with SupplyScape’s expertise and level of commitment,” said Scott Turner, vice president of supply chain at Sciele. “Sciele is pleased to be partnering with SupplyScape and is confident they will help us meet these goals and support our ultimate objective of protecting the safety of our patients.”
