TraceLink Track and Trace vs TraceSense

TraceLink Track and Trace provides serialization and traceability for pharmaceutical manufacturers exchanging compliance data with contract manufacturers and downstream partners. Its workflows span serialization generation, labeling, aggregation, decommissioning, destruction, scanning, shipping, verification, and compliance. The serialization solution manages processes from a single platform, with configurable automation and support for high-volume transactions. Companies can run multinational compliance centrally or distribute work among affiliates and distributors, using country-specific modules to extend into new markets. The TraceLink network lets customers and trading partners integrate once and interoperate with others through point-and-click configuration. Integrations support EDI in ANSI X12 and EDIFACT formats, SAP IDoc, XML API, email, and SFTP. TraceLink says automatic updates address evolving regulations, guidelines, technical standards, software, and workflows. It also describes 24x7 support and automatic upgrades and releases. Security measures include encryption in transit and at rest, backups, monitoring, vulnerability management, and incident response; listed independent assessments and attestations include ISO 27001 and ISO 27017, SOC 2 / ISAE 3000 Type II, and penetration testing. Pricing is on request.

TraceSense provides recipe weighing and electronic batch records for manufacturers that need ingredient lot traceability. Its records connect ingredient lots, weigh-ups, and sign-offs, with forward and backward tracing to follow lots through production. Users can set weighing tolerances, and the batch control module stops operators from proceeding when a weight falls outside them. Process checks can verify barcodes or QR codes, capture photos and documents, and require pass/fail results and actions. The modular system also covers production, quality, maintenance, stock, training, compliance, and dispatch. Listed ERP integrations include Sage, Microsoft Navision, and SAP; supported data flows include orders, stock, work orders, and process confirmations. TraceSense describes timestamped records, audit trails, and recall tools for businesses working toward BRC, SALSA, ISO, and customer audits. The cloud-based software can run alongside an existing ERP rather than replacing a full finance ERP. Its Terminal app runs on iPhones and iPads, and process checks can also use Android devices.
