Smith Drug Investigator™ Pilot Webinar Available On-Demand

June 25, 2020

To help pharmaceutical manufacturers to comply with DSCSA Saleable Returns requirements and learn how Smith Drug Company resolves saleable returns verification issues (specifically the negative verification responses), LSPediA now has the Smith Drug Investigator Pilot webinar available to view on-demand.

Smith Drug Company has begun phasing in the DSCSA Saleable Returns requirement, starting with the Investigator™ Pilot and will soon proceed with live verifications in the distribution centers. Once the Rx verification starts, the negative verification handling is a significant part of the DSCSA Saleable Returns processing.

It is imperative that Smith Drug Company and its’ manufacturing partners have the infrastructure and processes in place to deal with any negative responses. It is for this reason that Smith Drug Company is using the LSPediA Investigator™ module to document all negative verification requests and resolve them collaboratively with their manufacturer suppliers.

Investigator is an issue tracking tool that helps your organization meet your DSCSA challenges. Towards addressing negative verifications, Investigator sends an automated alert to the manufacturer and provides a collaborative workspace for manufacturers and their partners to conduct product investigations, eliminating the need for phone calls or additional staffing.

Attend the on-demand webinar to learn critical compliance and business operations impacting manufacturers.
