TraceLink Wins 2013 Red Herring 100 Global Award for Life Sciences Cloud


Wakefield, MA (PRWEB) November 22, 2013

TraceLink Inc., the leader in global pharmaceutical serialization, drug traceability and supply network performance solutions, announced today that it has been named winner of Red Herring’s 2013 Top 100 Global Award, recognizing the year’s most audacious and far reaching private technology companies and entrepreneurs from across the globe. TraceLink’s Life Sciences Cloud global application platform and global customer community of pharmaceutical industry innovators were key foundations for the award.

“Protecting patients from counterfeit drugs, improving access to safe, quality medicines and ensuring compliance with regulations like the Drug Quality and Security Act is our core mission,” said Shabbir Dahod, President and CEO of TraceLink. “We are honored that Red Herring recognized our efforts in building an innovative cloud application platform that helps Life Science executives think differently about their global supply chain networks, business processes and IT architectures to meet growing supply and demand challenges.”

The TraceLink Life Sciences Cloud global network platform, pharmaceutical track and trace solutions and supply network performance applications help pharmaceutical companies and their diverse supply network partners connect, share key business data and collaborate across supply, production and distribution operations. Market leaders, including four of the top-10 pharmaceutical companies, use the TraceLink Life Sciences Cloud to:

    Comply with pharmaceutical serialization, product tracing and government reporting requirements for the US H.R. 3204 Drug Quality and Security Act, China, Brazil, Korea and other global drug track and trace regulations
    Build a supply chain control tower that improves speed across external supply activities, reduces risk across the production lifecycle and increases agility in meeting patient demand across diverse global markets
    Create a flexible global IT infrastructure that simplifies integration across thousands of supply relationships, improves control over billions of transactions and enables management of terabytes of transaction data through a single connection to the Life Sciences Cloud

Red Herring’s Top 100 Global list has become a mark of distinction for identifying promising new companies and entrepreneurs. Red Herring editors were among the first to recognize that companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Yahoo, Skype, Salesforce.com, YouTube, and eBay would change the way we live and work.

“Choosing the companies with the strongest potential was by no means a small feat,” said Alex Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring. “After rigorous contemplation and discussion, we narrowed our list down from hundreds of candidates from across the globe to the Top 100 Winners. We believe TraceLink embodies the vision, drive and innovation that define a successful entrepreneurial venture. TraceLink should be proud of its accomplishment, as the competition was the strongest it has ever been.”
