AltiusHub vs Authentific

AltiusHub is an AI-powered pharmaceutical and life sciences supply-chain traceability platform for serialization, track and trace, regulatory reporting, and analytics. Serialization tools generate and validate serial numbers, handle aggregation and disaggregation, and support multi-level packaging hierarchies. The platform captures and validates supply-chain events, with product status, audit trails, and exception workflows. Listed compliance markets include the US, EU, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Indonesia. Analytics include configurable workflows, dashboards, predictive analytics, custom alerts, and automated report distribution. Integrations support HTTPS, SFTP, and AS2, alongside XML, JSON, CSV, and EDI formats; pre-built connectors cover ERP, MES, and WMS systems. The company describes encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, and certifications including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 9001, and ISO 27001. It also describes a system validated for 21 CFR Part 11 and aligned with GAMP 5 and EU Annex 11 guidance. AltiusHub says it runs on Microsoft Azure with a multi-region setup and advertises 99.99% availability. It is purpose-built for contract manufacturers and marketing authorisation holders. Pricing is available on request; the maker directs visitors to book a demo.

Authentific is an enterprise platform combining QR-based product authentication, certificate lifecycle management, and high-security printing. It issues unique product identities with cryptographic signatures for authentication, tracking, diversion control, and consumer verification. Its certificate system covers document design, approvals, issuance, verification, revocation, renewal, bulk issuance, and public checks. The maker says signing keys are generated and stored in FIPS 140-2 validated hardware security modules. Enterprise scans can validate signatures offline using cached or preloaded public keys, while consumer scans require internet access. The platform supports DSCSA serialization and EPCIS-compatible records, along with EU FMD serialization and verification data requirements. Deployment options include multi-region and sovereign cloud, plus on-premise configurations that can support air-gapped verification. Listed connections include SAP and Oracle ERP connectors, a REST API, and leading MES platforms. Standard QR printing equipment and label applicators are supported without proprietary hardware. Authentific targets enterprise manufacturers, typically those producing millions of units annually, and is not suited to low-volume or individual-product authentication. Pricing is scoped by issuance volume, access tier, production scale, lines, geography, and modules.
