advanco ARC Platform vs Kezzler Platform

Advanco ARC Platform is a serialization and track-and-trace suite for regulated supply chains, covering levels 2 through 5. Its foundation, ARC HUB, processes serialization data, maintains product master data, generates and tracks serial numbers, and manages packaging orders. ARC Produce coordinates packaging lines, serial-number exchange, and end-of-batch reporting; it also supports in-lot and post-lot rework and manual serialization for low-volume work. ARC Distribute handles serialized-product movements and warehouse operations. ARC Connect links packaging equipment and enterprise systems, including ERP, EBR, WMS, MES, regulatory portals, and named Level 4 systems. ARC HUB supports on-premises and hybrid cloud deployment, while ARC Cloud provides site and network management, centralized process information, reporting, analytics, and connectivity to mobile devices and workstations. Advanco says packaging-line work using ARC Produce can continue if internet connectivity is lost. The company focuses on pharmaceutical customers and also serves cosmetics, medical devices, and food and beverages. Pricing is on request.
