b+b trace UDI Software vs Cerfinity

b+b trace UDI Software provides serialization for medical devices to support Medical Device Regulation implementation at level 3. Users can create, edit, and import work or process orders, then report traceability information to multiple markets, customers, and databases. Modules cover user and rights management, audit trails, customer and target-market records, items, lines, interfaces, and label layouts. Site management includes aggregation hierarchy management, reworking, sampling, and optional serial-number management. A multipack manager can combine items across GTINs and aggregate them under a new serial number. Interfaces connect with a customer’s ERP system and with Level 5 of EUDAMED. The line manager is described as a Level 2 component for parameterizing and controlling line components. The SiteServer can run on-premise or in the cloud, using a Windows VM and MS SQL Server database supplied by the customer. Pricing is on request. Tailored support contracts are available; SLA customers receive priority support and free software updates while the SLA remains valid.

Cerfinity authenticates products and records their custody through a provenance record linked to tamper-evident seals with unique cryptographic identities. A customer can check an item by tapping an NFC seal or scanning a QR code without downloading an app or creating an account. The seal can record an irreversible change when packaging is opened, and time-stamped entries can document custody at authorized checkpoints such as producers, distributors, logistics partners, and retailers. Authentication options include NFC, covert micro-mark authentication, and QR verification. Brands can access supply-chain views and counterfeit-concentration data. Listed sectors include spirits and wine, luxury fashion, graded collectibles, specialty food, pharmaceuticals, beauty, and electronics. The pharmaceutical offering includes serialization support, cold-chain monitoring integration, track-and-trace, recall management, and pharmacy-system integration. Cerfinity says its records can support EU Digital Product Passport, EUDR, and FSMA Rule 204 traceability needs. A qualifying brand can use a 30-day pilot with 500 certificates and white-glove onboarding. The Founding Partner plan is $249 a month; NFC seals are billed separately by unit.
