TraceLink, the largest end-to-end digital network platform for intelligent orchestration of the life sciences and healthcare supply chain, has officially announced the launch of new platform enhancements, geared towards facilitating supply chain transformation.
According to certain reports, these capabilities arrive on the scene bearing an intention to, from a specific standpoint, empower supply chain, finance, commercial, and IT leaders in the context of navigating today’s supply chain complexities and preparing for an agentic-first future.
More on the same would reveal how the new capabilities cover TraceLink’s Orchestration Platform for Universal Solutions (OPUS). , Multienterprise Information Network Tower (MINT), Process Orchestration for Empowered Teams (POET), and Serialized Product Intelligence (SPI).
Talk about the given development on a slightly deeper, we begin from the enhancements introduced for OPUS, kicking things off with OPUS Link Lab.
The stated lab happens to put-together a testing environment for no-code solutions built on OPUS, capable of accelerating time-to-value for solution partners.
Users can also come expecting to simulate multienterprise workflows, test data flows across partner networks, validate orchestration logic in a secure design environment, and install new orchestration solutions to the OPUS Marketplace catalog for use by customers and their trading partners.
Next up, we have enhanced OPUS reports and dashboards in the mix, boasting deeper drill-down capabilities and support for multiple child object handling in report development.
Moving on to capabilities for TraceLink’s Multienterprise Information Network Tower (MINT), they include expanded end-to-end process coverage, translating to support for wider range of critical transaction types across the value chain.
These transaction types include commerce, where chargeback reconciliation can reduce, moving forward, any potential revenue leakage, while simultaneously enhancing collaboration on demand forecasts to improve product availability.
Then, there is the space of external manufacturing, where users can enjoy deeper integration with contract partners on the back of new transactions for planned orders, process orders, and batch closure, thus improving production visibility and control.
Logistics and transportation would be another benefactor, as it can leverage new transactions for logistics planning and transportation status, including article master data, carrier shipment status, routing, and carrier information, to streamline and track shipments with partners.
Anyway, MINT also gets to bank upon an accelerated brand of insights. This it achieves with over 20 predefined reports and dashboards to provide immediate, actionable intelligence across order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and inventory management processes.
Apart from that, there is the prospect of improved operational flexibility, which stems from a facility to download exchanged files via UI, as well as exchange transactions, with email attachments improving agility for customers and trading partners across orchestration networks.
Turning our attention towards the upgrade confirmed for Process Orchestration for Empowered Teams (POET), it is largely headlined by the launch of POET for DSCSA compliance exceptions.
This would be the only solution for structured, automated, and collaborative resolution of DSCSA exceptions among teams distributed across different enterprises. The technology in question essentially digitalizes the HDA Exceptions Guideline process, including the ability to auto-create exceptions and initiate email transactions between trading partners who are compliant with the Guideline standards.
The idea is to enable trading partners in their pursuit of resolving issues, such as verification failures or missing EPCIS data, at a 80% faster clip, thus protecting revenue and ensuring compliance.
Lastly, we have enhancements conceived for Serialized Product Intelligence (SPI), updates that include enhanced inventory reconciliation, which brings to your disposal more data fields to reconcile lots and serial number events reports, all for the purpose of ensuring accuracy between physical inventory and serialized data.
SPI will also get to leverage better real-time inventory visibility, a feat achieved using new reports that include, for instance, available quantity data to avoid using decommissioned or non-saleable products.
“Our mission is to build the digital foundation for the intelligent and agentic supply chains of the future,” said Shabbir Dahod, President and CEO of TraceLink. “These OPUS platform enhancements, developed in close collaboration with hundreds of our customers, are a massive step forward. We are delivering the orchestration tools our customers need to win today, while simultaneously laying the groundwork for agentic AI to intelligently sense, respond, and adapt to supply chain dynamics in real time.
