One thing to take into consideration is that despite the individual elements of T&T systems being technically proven, implementing those same elements at such a great scale and granularity level gives rise to an overwhelming complexity which makes the system inherently susceptible to fracture. Consequently, having an infinitesimal detail overlooked in terms of design, test, or maintenance of the IT infrastructure could have severe implications for the workflow and lead to interoperability issues, downtimes and Supply disruptions.
That aside, once the system has launched the more intricate issue of adaptive challenges comes into play. Comparatively speaking, operation of a comprehensive T&T system is analogous to production line management in that a bottleneck in one of the sub-processes could adversely affect the whole system. Speaking in terms of track and trace systems, such bottlenecks are by no means rare occurrences. Lack of adequate and timely cooperation on the part of supply chain stake holders would predictably happen due the a multitude of reasons such as fear of disintermediation, insisting on keeping commercial data within one’s business domain, receiving insufficient instructions on how to interact with the system, etc. and failing to recognize such upcoming challenges beforehand as well as not having an appropriate risk evaluation and mitigation strategy in place, could effectively hinder the system from discharging its primary functions, Leaving little enthusiasm for anti-counterfeiting measures altogether.
Owing to our history in the field, we have come to recognize those challenges and fine-tuned our solution to address any possible adverse outcome. Our proven track record of success is not just a claim but delivered with evidence. SAMAN has been the sole commissioner of the IRFDA in the field of T&T for the Iranian pharmaceutical supply chain since 2008. Relying on our in-house designed software solutions we have provided the IT infrastructure that literally encompasses all stakeholders (i.e. pharmacists, wholesalers, Manufacturers, governmental organizations) in a single unified solution; supporting the nationwide operation for 10 consecutive years. Aside from the system design, managing the day-to-day operations of a comprehensive T&T system on a Scale Rivaled by few, has equipped us with best practice models and the required know-how for a seamless implementation of the system. Utilizing that experience, we could help you navigate technical and operational hurdles and accompany you through your serialization journey towards a successful end.
