Leveraging its TraceReady™ application for drug quality assurance, Gateway Checker launched
the Gateway Certified conformance program after producing files pursuant to the strict GS1 US
Implementation Guideline. By earning the Gateway Certified seal of approval, supply chain
partners can be confident in data quality while providing their customers file integrity
confidence.
“The certification process helped us take a closer look at how our outbound files are structured,
validated, and delivered,” said Sherri Bauman, Quality and Testing Manager at Körber. “This
allows Körber to produce fully conformant files aligned with GS1 standards, highlighting
improvements that support greater consistency and accuracy.”
Bauman added, “This milestone better positions Körber to meet current requirements and adapt more easily to future compliance needs, while supporting smoother data exchange for our partners and customers. This is a foundational step that improves data quality, supports scalability, and reinforces our commitment to standards-based compliance now and in the future.”
“When EPCIS solution providers commit to testing and compliance to interoperability
application standards, like Körber, pharmaceutical supply trade partners benefit,” said Gary
Lerner, President of Gateway Checker Corporation. “As more suppliers follow Körber’s lead,
drug transaction records will flow faster with fewer inaccuracies, minimizing supplier
disruption.”
