The platform

Everything DSCSA asks of you, in one workspace.

TraceGard covers the operational work (scan, receive, ship, dispense) and the compliance work (exceptions, verification, recalls, tracing requests, six-year records). You turn on what your organization type actually needs.

Day-to-day operations

The work your warehouse, pharmacy, and shipping teams already do — with the records DSCSA expects built in.

Scan at the dock or the counter

Read a 2D barcode and immediately see the product, lot, serial, and expiry.

Staff scan GS1 barcodes on phones, tablets, or a desktop camera. TraceGard parses the identifier so receiving, shipping, dispensing, and lookups start from the package in hand — not a typed serial number.

Receive shipments with confidence

Match what arrived against the supplier’s electronic notice, then post the receipt.

When a partner sends an advance notice, TraceGard can open a provisional receipt for you. Scan or confirm the packages, reconcile quantities, and post. Shortages, extras, and serial mismatches become exceptions instead of tribal knowledge.

Ship with a complete electronic record

Pick, pack, and ship — the notice to your customer goes out with the product.

Create a shipment, pick the serials you are sending, pack them, and mark shipped. TraceGard generates the required electronic document and delivers it to the trading partner. You get confirmation that it arrived intact.

Record dispenses at the pharmacy

Scan a package when it leaves the shelf for a patient and close the trace.

Pharmacies scan at dispense so the serial is no longer in inventory. That keeps your on-hand picture accurate and gives you a clean history if a recall or tracing request comes in later.

Used by Pharmacies

Know where every serial sits

Look up a package and see its current status — received, shipped, dispensed, or held.

A serial repository tracks custody across your locations. Search by serial, lot, or product. That is the backbone for shipping checks, saleable-return verification, and investigations.

Serialization, packing, and repackaging

For companies that mint identifiers or change how product is packed — not just receive it.

Commission package serials

Assign unique serial numbers to finished product before it enters the supply chain.

Manufacturers and repackagers can mint package identifiers from their GS1 prefix, keep sequences under control, and record commissioning events. Decommissioning is available when a serial should no longer circulate.

Used by Manufacturers · Repackagers

Pack cases and pallets

Build the parent–child picture of what is inside each case or pallet.

Mint container identifiers, pack serials into cases and pallets, and unpack when you break them down. Trading partners receive the aggregation picture they need to receive product without opening every case.

Used by Manufacturers · Repackagers · Wholesalers · 3PLs

Repackage with a full history

Turn inbound serials into new product identifiers without losing the trail.

Repackagers run a job that consumes input serials and commissions new ones, with the transformation recorded for DSCSA. Input and output stay linked so you can answer “what was this made from?” years later.

Partners, locations, and licenses

DSCSA only works if you know who you are trading with and where product lives.

Trading partner directory

Add partners by location number and keep licenses, contacts, and connection details in one place.

Look up a Global Location Number, review public business details, and add the partner without retyping an address. Store how you exchange documents with them so shipping and receiving use the right path every time.

Authorized trading partner checks

Keep license and credential evidence with the partner record.

You may only buy from and sell to authorized trading partners. TraceGard helps you record licenses, confirm standing, and — where you use digital credentials — present and verify them as part of verification requests.

Locations and licenses

Model every warehouse, pharmacy, and licensed site you operate.

Each location carries its identifiers and licenses. Shipping and receiving stay tied to the right site, which matters when you operate more than one store or distribution center.

3PL work on behalf of a client

Handle product you possess but do not own, with a clear client of record.

Third-party logistics providers can be authorized to receive and ship for a manufacturer or wholesaler. Shipments and receipts record the owning client, and those actions are logged so both sides can see who did what.

Used by 3PLs · Manufacturers · Wholesalers

Verification

Confirm a package is what it claims to be — for saleable returns, suspect product, and partner requests.

Ask the manufacturer

Send a verification request and keep the answer with the serial.

For saleable returns and suspect product, TraceGard can ask the verification network whether a serial is valid, expired, decommissioned, or recalled. The request and response are stored so you can show your work.

Used by Pharmacies · Wholesalers · 3PLs

Answer verification requests

Manufacturers can respond from their own serial records.

If you issue serials, TraceGard can answer inbound verification requests against your repository — and stay quiet in a consistent way when the request is not yours to answer, so you are not advertising your catalog to probes.

Used by Manufacturers · Repackagers

Suspect product workflow

A failed check can open an investigation and hold matching inventory.

When a verification comes back negative for a serial you own, TraceGard can open a suspect-product investigation and quarantine on-hand matches so they cannot ship while you work the issue.

Used by Pharmacies · Wholesalers · Manufacturers · Repackagers

Recalls, investigations, and tracing requests

When something is wrong — or the FDA asks — the work should already have a home.

Exception queue

Mismatches and failed notices land in one list, with owners and status.

Quantity discrepancies, serial mismatches, and failed deliveries are captured as exceptions. Your compliance and operations teams work them in the same place instead of chasing inboxes.

Used by Pharmacies · Wholesalers · Manufacturers · Repackagers · 3PLs

FDA recall matching

Incoming recall notices can find matching inventory and hold it.

TraceGard ingests official recall feeds and matches them to product you have on hand. Matching packages can be blocked from sale or shipment until someone reviews and dispositions them.

Used by Pharmacies · Wholesalers · Manufacturers · Repackagers · 3PLs

Quarantine and dispositions

Hold product, then record what happened to it.

Move serials into quarantine so they cannot ship. When you destroy, return, or release them, the disposition is part of the permanent record.

Used by Pharmacies · Wholesalers · Manufacturers · Repackagers · 3PLs

Investigations

Document suspect or illegitimate product from first flag to close.

Investigations keep notes, related serials, quarantine, and verification history together. That is what you need if a notification to the FDA or a trading partner is required.

Official tracing requests

Respond to a request for transaction history within the expected window.

When you receive an official tracing request, TraceGard helps you assemble the package-level history and track the 48-hour response expectation, with the evidence retained.

Records, reports, and retention

DSCSA is a records law as much as a scanning law. The history has to survive staff turnover and audits.

Chain of custody

See how a package moved — who had it, and when.

Event history and parent–child packing relationships give you a pedigree you can walk in the product, not reconstruct from paper. Pedigree documents can be produced when a partner or inspector needs a portable copy.

Used by Pharmacies · Wholesalers · Manufacturers · Repackagers · 3PLs

Reports you can actually use

Operational and compliance reports, including scheduled delivery for the ones you run every month.

Inventory activity, exception aging, message performance, and serial history are available from the same records your team already creates. Advanced exports and scheduled sending can be turned on when you need them.

Used by Pharmacies · Wholesalers · Manufacturers · Repackagers · 3PLs

Audit trail

Privileged actions — and who performed them — are recorded.

User activity, on-behalf work, and configuration changes land in an audit log your compliance and auditor roles can review. That is the difference between “we think we did it” and “here is the record.”

Used by Pharmacies · Wholesalers · Manufacturers · Repackagers · 3PLs

Retention and legal hold

Keep records for six years, and freeze them when litigation or an investigation requires it.

Retention policies and legal hold sit on top of immutable evidence storage. You are not relying on a shared drive that someone emptied during a cleanup week.

Integrations, onboarding, and support

A platform only helps if it fits how you already buy, store, and ship product.

Secure electronic exchange

Send and receive partner documents with delivery receipts — hosted by TraceGard, not a patchwork of inboxes.

TraceGard includes a dedicated, self-hosted exchange service for the industry’s standard secure transport. Delivery receipts and integrity checks are verified so you know a notice was received, not just sent.

Partner API and webhooks

Connect your ERP or warehouse system without re-keying every receipt.

A versioned public API with scoped tokens, idempotent writes, and outbound webhooks lets warehouse and ERP systems create receipts, shipments, and master data through the same rules as the screens. OpenAPI documentation is generated from the live API.

Guided organization setup

A short wizard for profile, location, prefix, first product, and first partner.

After you create an account, setup walks through the pieces DSCSA actually needs — not a 40-page implementation workbook. You can pause and resume.

Bring history from another system

Import products, partners, serials, and past notices instead of starting from zero.

If you are leaving an incumbent track-and-trace product, TraceGard can import master data and history through a controlled job. Credentials are encrypted and short-lived. Partial imports record the rows that need a second look.

In-app support

Open a ticket from the product. Your team and ours share one thread.

Questions stay attached to your organization, not a generic help desk form. When you need a person, you get one who can see the same records you do — with the access controls that implies.

Used by Pharmacies · Wholesalers · Manufacturers · Repackagers · 3PLs

Roles that match the work

Pharmacist, compliance, auditor, technician, and admin see different things on purpose.

Not everyone should ship, and not everyone should read the full audit log. Role-based access and organization isolation are built in, including when a 3PL acts on behalf of a client.
