Overview
TraceLink is a life-sciences supply chain software company founded in 2009 and headquartered in Wilmington, Massachusetts. It operates what it describes as the world's largest track-and-trace network for pharmaceutical serialization and compliance, connecting manufacturers, contract manufacturers (CMOs), 3PLs, wholesalers and specialty pharmacies onto a single multi-tenant cloud network.
The company's Opus Digital Network Platform hosts a family of applications including Serial Number Manager, Serialized Operations Manager and Serialized Product Intelligence for generating, aggregating, decommissioning and reporting on serialized product data, plus the POET workflow design tool and Opus Link Lab for building custom multienterprise solutions without code. TraceLink markets coverage of DSCSA and more than 40 countries' serialization mandates through its EPCIS-based exchange.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers typically connect TraceLink to their ERP systems, commonly SAP or Oracle, to send product master data out and receive serialized numbers back; TraceLink documents SAP ATTP integration patterns and has published guidance on supporting SAP ECC to S/4HANA migrations for serialization data. Pricing is subscription-based and not publicly listed.
