Gateway Checker is excited to announce that Oak Drugs, a national generic pharmaceutical distributor, earned Gateway Certified® EPCIS Verify™ accreditation. Oak Drugs was awarded Gateway Certification for the Single Purchase Order with Aggregation Scenario, which is one of the 16 scenarios manufacturers and wholesalers can become certified for.
Just a few months ago, Oak Drugs transitioned to Gateway Checker from another DSCSA solution provider. Nevertheless, in less than three months, Oak Drugs has connected with over 250 trade partners and processed over 1,000 files in the Gateway Checker system.
Oak Drugs CEO Ben Hodgins shared his perspective on the transition, commenting, “I can’t believe how quickly the transfer from our prior solution provider to Gateway Checker has been executed, and how smoothly information has flowed into the Gateway Checker portal.”
Gateway Checker leverages TraceReady for evaluating both inbound and outbound files, making it easy to determine if files are meeting updated compliance requirements or missing the mark.
“Before using Gateway Checker’s TraceReady application, I thought a competitive offering provided sufficient visibility to EPCIS files and their deficiencies… I was mistaken!”, says Greg Coombe, Director of Compliance at Oak Drugs. “I really appreciate the visually productive nature of Gateway Checker… (Gateway Checker) makes it much easier to view and address EPCIS file issues.”
Leveraging TraceReady, Oak Drugs produces outbound files that meet updated, strict DSCSA and GS1 EPCIS standards. The Gateway Certified seal provides their buyers the confidence that their files are compliant, eliminating the risk of supply chain interruptions that may occur from a lack of conformance.
“Oak Drugs’ dedication to compliance standards demonstrates their knowledge of and commitment to supply chain safety and DSCSA standards,” commented Gary Lerner, Founder and President of Gateway Checker. “We are extremely proud of the Oak Drugs Team for their efforts in obtaining this achievement.”
