Gateway Checker presenting Movilitas.Cloud the Gateway Checker Gateway Certified Award for EPCIS

Gateway Checker® is excited to announce Movilitas.Cloud has earned the Gateway Certified® accreditation for their EPCIS solution, becoming the first solution provider to earn this recognition for both EPCIS and VRS.  

DSCSA mandates the timely, interoperable exchange of Electronic Product Code Information Services (EPCIS) files downstream: nonetheless, numerous solution providers and the stakeholders they support fail to produce and exchange conformant data. By validating their systems and processes under an objective, independent conformance testing application, Movilitas.Cloud reinforces its position as a trusted industry partner that prioritizes supply integrity and patient safety. 

Movilitas.Cloud earned VRS Verify™ accreditation in March of 2025 after their VRS assessment met the stringent requirements of Gateway Checker’s independent, unbiased VRS Conformance Testing Platform. This EPCIS Verify ™ recognition was earned earlier this year after producing test files in alignment with all GS1 DSCSA manufacturer and distributor test scenarios. 

“Achieving the Gateway Certified Certificate of Conformance is an important validation of our commitment to interoperability, security and compliance,” said Marc Blekkink, Managing Director of Movilitas.Cloud at IndX. “With the industry shifting from meeting compliance requirements to regulatory enforcement, our focus is on helping customers simplify complexity while ensuring they can securely connect and collaborate across the entire supply chain. This certification proves that our platform not only meets requirements, but delivers the accuracy and reliability needed for true interoperability.” 

Nonconformant, error-ridden EPCIS files continue to plague the pharmaceutical supply chain, leading to interruptions in product shipments while preventing patients from receiving drugs in a timely manner. Movilitas.Cloud’s efforts towards producing accurate, compliant EPCIS files helps alleviate this concern for its customers across the country, setting a great example for other solution providers to pursue similar efforts. 

“Gateway Certification is not just about meeting technical requirements – it’s about ensuring that trading partners can trust the data and systems they rely on every day,” said Gary Lerner, President at Gateway Checker®. “Movilitas.Cloud has demonstrated strong alignment with GS1 standards and a clear commitment to enabling secure, interoperable DSCSA processes.” 

Compliance is no longer just a requirement—it’s an expectation. By becoming Gateway Certified, organizations instill a sense of confidence in their trade partners that compliance remains a key operational priority.

Lexington, MA, April 22, 2025 – Gateway Checker, the industry’s leading independent GS1 Conformance Testing Service, is excited to announce NDC Distributors, an independently owned generic pharmaceutical wholesaler based out of Cranbury, New Jersey, has successfully attained Gateway Certified™ EPCIS Verify™ accreditation. 

EPCIS is a GS1 Standard that enables supply chain partners to capture event information about supply chain events (e.g., shipped, received, etc.), and to share that information with their trading partners securely and in near real-time. EPCIS is the only recognized standard by the pharmaceutical industry and recommended by the FDA to enable DSCSA enhanced traceability compliance. 

Gateway Checker EPCIS Verify™ provides cloud-based, portal access to EPCIS Conformance Testing, where outbound EPCIS files are loaded, files evaluated, evaluation reports generated, and results retained. Gateway’s GS1 DSCSA EPCIS Conformance Testing Service comprehensively tests, evaluates, and validates conformance to standards. EPCIS file form, structure, content, and selected outbound GS1 Pharmaceutical Traceability Scenario (PTS) are unambiguously assessed. 

“Working with Gateway Checker has been a very seamless process,” says Mark Grant, Systems Analyst at NDC Distributors. “Gateway Checker’s internal verification process makes it easy to identify any files with EPCIS exceptions, and their team is always ready to step in and communicate issues with our vendors. We are truly very happy to have Gateway Checker as our EPCIS partner.” 

Transactions that successfully meet Gateway Checker EPCIS Verify™ testing requirements are eligible to become Gateway Certified™. When a transaction is Gateway Certified™, trade partners can be confident their data meets industry and regulatory (DSCSA) standards, helping ensure integrity across the entire supply chain.  

After successfully meeting strict conformance requirements, NDC Distributors achieved certification for a wholesaler to dispenser pharmaceutical traceability scenario, incorporating a single purchase order and aggregation. NDC Distributor’s Gateway Certification demonstrates their commitment to DSCSA conformance, supply chain integrity, and patient safety. 

“The Gateway Certified™ seal exemplifies a steadfast commitment to meeting full DSCSA requirements. In earning the seal, NDC Distributors’ trade partners can be confident the data they receive is both accurate, compliant with DSCSA regulations, and conforms to GS1 application standards,” says Gary Lerner, Founder and President of Gateway Checker. “ 

As the end of the stabilization period approaches quickly, we encourage manufacturers, distributors, and 3PLs to get certified by the only independent, GS1-certified conformance testing service available today.”

Movilitas.Cloud Earns Gateway Certified™ Accreditation for VRS Solution

Movilitas.Cloud: VRS Verify™ Accreditation

Lexington, MA, March 14, 2025 – Gateway Checker, the industry’s leading independent GS1 Conformance Testing Service, today announced Movilitas.Cloud, as part of Engineering Industries eXcellence, has become the first product verification solution provider to successfully attain both Level 1 and Level 2 Gateway Certified™ VRS Verify™ accreditation.

The FDA Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) requires Pharmaceutical trade partners to have systems to facilitate saleable returns verification. In response to regulation, the Verification Router Service (VRS) was developed by the Healthcare Distribution Alliance (HDA), aiming to automate verification requests and achieve near real-time responses.

With VRS systems, authorized pharmaceutical trading partners can confirm that the unique set of product information (lot number, expiration date, trade identifier, and serial number) assigned to a drug matches the information recorded by the manufacturer.

Successful system-to-system interoperability requires extensive testing and validation, and the cooperation and resource commitment of competitive systems. Up until now, VRS testing results are typically self-executed and reported by the solution provider, a tedious and often inaccurate approach to testing and validation. Gateway Checker developed an independent, unbiased VRS conformance testing platform, VRS Verify™, that quickly, robustly and reliably executes VRS test scenarios.

Demonstrating a commitment to supply chain integrity and DSCSA compliance, Movilitas.Cloud has become the first DSCSA solution provider to be awarded Gateway Certified VRS Verify™ accreditation.

“Gateway Checker has always been heavily involved in the development of the VRS standards and builds tools to measure the health of this multivendor platform,” said Marc Blekkink, Founder and Managing Director of Movilitas.Cloud. “We are very pleased that an independent organization has begun certifying these solutions, allowing the market to select a trusted partner for DSCSA verification requirements.”
