Track and trace solutions have become the need of time. Without effective track and trace solutions, companies are incurring heavy losses. The absence of track and trace solutions increase the chances of product duplication, product diversion, and returns.

 

It also leads to information silos such as delays and mistakes in the supply chain. Mismanagement of inventory caused due to an ineffective trace and track solution results in heavy financial losses.

 

On the other hand, manual paperwork as an alternative to track and trace solutions may lead to errors and might require huge manpower thus becoming a susceptible and  tedious process.

How track and trace solutions can help you with effective supply chain visibility:

An effective track-and-trace solution can stop the duplication of your products and improve your company’s ROI. Traceability across the supply chain helps you in establishing the product’s authenticity and brings you the added advantage of profitability and transparency. You can easily avoid all sorts of mistakes and delays in inventory management. The implementation of full traceability from product packaging, and transportation to the delivery cycle leads to revenue improvement and maintains the brand’s image.

If you are a pharma manufacturer struggling with fake products, poor sales, and supply chain visibility then you can relate to this blog. We’ve written this blog based on the numerous feedback we have received from our anti-counterfeit experts. It will help you gain an insight into your general challenges & assess feasible solutions to drive your business growth.

 

Let’s suppose Mr. Harish Sharma is an owner of a pharma company that is drastically losing product sales due to counterfeiting. A reputed entrepreneur, Mr. Sharma had invested a huge corpus in his pharma business. Eventually, the launch happened, and the company’s cough syrup was rolled out. In the next few quarters, the sales soared up across India.

 

However, after two years, fake replicas of the syrup bottle flooded the market. The sales and brand reputation took a hit badly. Are you facing a similar situation? Stressed and confused Mr. Sharma sought the help of the police. But it was only a temporary relief. Counterfeit drugs were traced back to multiple locations. It was not practical to raid every single shipment. Moreover, the cost of litigation was adding up. This is the story of many pharma manufacturers who struggle with counterfeiting and tampering. But, with a reliable brand protection partner, they can select the right packaging, prevent counterfeiting and grow their business.

 

If you also looking for the right brand protection then we can surely help you, but before that let’s see how Mr. Sharma found a solution to his problem.

 

 In India, Pharma is among the top 5 sectors most affected by fake products (Source: ASPA)

 

Fortunately, one day while surfing the web, Mr. Sharma stumbled across our smart anti-counterfeit packaging. Without further ado, he got in touch with our experts. Our experts thoroughly assessed the product packaging and the company’s supply chain for gaps. Can you guess what were those gaps? Our anti-counterfeit experts identified three key gaps/problems in the packaging and supply chain.

 

Problem 1-The manufacturer was using generic labels for branding purposes. 

Problem 2-There was no means for product authentication in the supply chain.

Problem 3-There was no mechanism to ensure real-time inventory visibility.

 

After identifying the problems, it was time for our experts to get into action! Our experts suggested customized solutions to overcome these challenges. Let’s dig in to know how we helped Mr. Sharma.

We replaced the generic label with a holographic security label for uncompromised security

We provided custom labels with a holographic security strip. Holographic strip with all the intricate patterns, channel effects, raster images etc., cannot be copied by counterfeiters. Criminals can’t afford sophisticated hologram origination technology. Holography cannot be photocopied or replicated by even advanced photocopy machines. Holography is purely optical technology and does not entail any form of reprography. Also, with nano-optical holography, we have taken anti-counterfeit technology to the next level. How? As the name suggests nano optic holograms have security features that are at the nanoscale- unbelievably small. Isn’t it? Imagine your pharma labels with nano-optical holographic strips. Will anyone attempt to copy it. The answer is no!

We fused two levels of authentication in the bottle label- that’s the power of ‘phygital’ (physical + digital)

At Holostik we believe that counterfeiters cannot breach multiple levels of security. That’s why we combined physical and digital technology in the labels. While the holographic security strip served as a physical security device to determine the product’s genuineness, the variable barcode ensured real-time product authentication.

We provided custom inventory software for increasing complete supply chain visibility

We deeply understand the supply chain challenges of our customers. It’s not just limited to duplication and extends beyond to poor product traceability, weak inventory management, low customer retention. Our team of software engineers understood the supply chain architecture and gaps before developing a custom digital solution for the pharma company. Our barcode-enabled digital inventory solution helped the Pharma company track every single item in the supply chain. It resulted in the prevention of raw material wastage and product diversions. All this summed up to a healthy supply chain and flourishing business.

 

 

The use of smart & secure labels from Holostik can help Pharma manufacturers to grow their business, boost supply chain visibility and increase new customers

7 key outcomes after implementation of our solutions

  1. Duplication of cough syrup bottles was reduced drastically.
  2. -The product sales increased manifold.
  3. Proper allocation of inventory in the supply chain.
  4. Streamlined operations in manufacturing and raw material handling.
  5. Timely delivery of products by the logistics
  6. -Increase in brand value and number of customers.

Every industry relies heavily on effective inventory management. The wide range of products in the pharmaceutical sector makes inventory checks necessary. Inefficient inventory management leads to increased costs, poor customer relations, and negative brand image building. Therefore, pharma companies need to check for the right inventory management system in their supply chain.

 

The use of an effective inventory management system allows healthcare organizations to keep track of the use and availability of their instruments and reduces the chances of loss and theft. Inventory management has the purpose of enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs. Pharma organizations need complete visibility into their inventory levels to maintain ideal stock levels.

 

“A robust inventory management system improves inventory accuracy, increases cash flow, and saves time for productivity”

 

Moreover, many people are dependent on medicine, either because they are older or suffer from chronic ailments. Thus, pharmaceutical companies should maintain efficient inventory management to help them overcome multiple issues.

Major Inventory Management Challenges Faced By Pharma and Healthcare Companies

 

1. Monitoring and tracking of shortage

Avoiding shortages is paramount for pharmaceutical and healthcare sector companies. In addition, it is essential to measure seasonal demand and supply. In cases of drugs that have a short lifecycle, temperature-sensitive drugs, or medicines scheduled to expire after a certain period, the pharma companies must keep track of them.

 

Smart holographic products have appeared as a boon for inventory management in the pharma sector. It is possible to keep track of products in real-time with smart holograms/barcode printed holographic stickers. There’s no need to maintain manual data as the process happens digitally.

 

The system is fast and reliable and allows pharmaceutical manufacturers to keep track of the location of products, their types, and their quantities. The incorporation of barcode-printed holograms for inventory tracking and monitoring decreases the workload off the shoulders of companies since even a single person can handle a high volume of inventory.

 

2. Counterfeiting of pharma products

The second challenge before the pharma companies is to overcome the challenges of piracy or counterfeiting. As per a recent report, piracy in medicines results in the loss of 38 billion dollars to the global pharma market. To overcome this huge loss and the danger, pharma companies have adopted smart hologram technologies that allow accurate monitoring and managing of every single product unit in the supply chain.

 

Smart holograms and smart labels allow real-time product authentication, supply chain tracking, and prevent inventory/warehouse management issues.

 

Using these smart packaging solutions, pharmaceutical companies can comply with the forthcoming legislation. It can help them generate unique sequential, encrypted or random serial numbers or identify and label products in a visible or hidden manner. The labels can either be self-adhesive or printed directly on pharmaceutical products.

 

3. Accurately tracks inventory and increases savings

It is possible to accurately count the number of products in the warehouse and elsewhere in the supply chain using inventory management solutions. With inventory accuracy, you can monitor market supply and production.

 

Usually, you have to use human resources to manage different functions in the supply chain. However, you can cut down your workforce and save money using an automated inventory management system. Additionally, it prevents your products from being duplicated or diverted.

 

4. Enhances data visibility across the supply chain

You can increase productivity by keeping track of product inventories with inventory management solutions. Moreover, you can easily track the availability of raw materials and machinery in your manufacturing facility.

In India, the liquor industry has been the major revenue contributor in most states. The industry is one of the prime sources of excise collection for most of the states in the country. Reportedly, taxes on liquor and beer bring in nearly INR 90,000 crores to state governments annually. 

 

Now we see that the excise collection is a matter of hundreds of billions & arming the revenue stamps with the latest security features is a must. Even plans for new holographic tax stamps in Asia have showcased how holograms have been instrumental in securing alcohol excise revenues globally.

 

“Tax stamps with holography and digital authetication are effective in preventing tampering, adulteration and poor inventory managemnet finally leading to optimized excise collection”

 

In 2020, Goa and Rajasthan announced a new excise policy for 2020-21, featuring holographic tax stamps to prevent counterfeits and protect liquor revenues. Even the IHMA (International Hologram Manufacturer Association) highlighted these moves made by the state governments. Enabling revenue stamps with nano-optical holograms make the excise collection process simplistic, and now the state governments have begun to realize the potential of holographic tax stamps.

 

Let’s figure out the importance of holography in digital tax stamps.

 

Understanding the Concept of Holography in Revenue Stamps:

 

One of the significant aims of nano-optic holograms is to ensure completely secured stamps that cannot be fabricated under any circumstances. The holograms in tax stamps ensure that the level of security is par excellence, and none can indulge in tampering with it. Often there are fraudulent activities that can duplicate the stamps, which often leads to tax evasion. However, this factor can be taken special care of with the nano-optical holograms!

 

Revenue stamps without holograms are prone to mishaps. It is one of the primary reasons state excise authorities and government organizations must consider employing a solution like holograms along with QR codes. Over the years, this system has been developed more so that there is absolutely no scope for tampering. Moreover, the holograms in tax stamps make inventory management easier with the digital tracking feature.

 

Why Is It Important to Depend on Reliable Names for Hologram Enabled Revenue Stamps?

 

Now that we have already understood what revenue stamps are and the need for equipping these with holographic solutions, it is also imperative to analyze why you need to depend on professionals and reputable names in the industry. The first reason for this is that the quality of tax stamps cannot be compromised. If enforcement agencies choose to do so, the innate requirement of high security will not be fulfilled. Hence, it is essential to depend on professional revenue stamp manufacturers who know precisely how to go about the process.

 

The following important factor to keep in mind is applicability. Holostik has been in this domain for years and can develop promising counterfeiting-proof digital tax stamps to simplify and rationalize the excise collection. The primary goal of the revenue stamps is to ensure hassle-free excise collection and avoid tampering. A reliable solution provider will always pay special attention to this factor.

 

Trust Holostik for High-security Revenue Stamps

 

“Holostik has set a high precedent by supplying state-of-the-art tax stamps to multiple state excise authorities in India. We have received praises from presigious government organizations across India”

 

If you are searching for an excellent option for holographic revenue stamps, then it cannot get better than Holostik. The stamps we manufacture with nano-optical holographic images have a resolution of more than 6 lacs dpi. Moreover, our aesthetic and ultra-modern designs boost the brand value of the products.

The pharmaceutical industry has, by necessity, always been at the edge of label innovation. Labels for pharmaceutical products protect customers and manufacturers from harm and ensure adherence to regulatory compliances.

 

Labels play a critical role in the pharmaceutical industry. Pharma companies, therefore, have all the reasons to adopt the latest advancement in label technology. So, let’s understand what smart labels are and why they are beneficial for Pharma manufacturers and other supply chain stakeholders.

 

“Smart labels allow digitization of supply chains resulting in optmized management of inventory and improved productivity of Pharma companies.”

 

What Are Smart Labels?

Product labels that allow smart digital functions like product authentication, track and trace, loyalty management, and other such functions are known as smart labels. Such labels have printed barcodes that can be scanned with mobile cameras, hand-held terminals, and scanners.

 

Smart labels allow pharmaceutical manufacturers to track their medicines from factories to hospitals to patients and every stakeholder in between. When employed appropriately, these labels can drive several benefits for the pharma industry.

The Role of Smart Labels in The Pharmaceutical Industry

Enhanced Inventory Management  

Pharma companies can use smart labels to identify where storage is in excess, where they need to increase their supply, and more accurate numbers to assess sales and demand. By using smart labels in inventory management, a proper balance can be maintained between shortages and surpluses. The inventory process can be enhanced by recognizing and addressing inconsistencies, such as incorrectly placed products.

 

Prevention Of Counterfeiting 

Smart labels ensure that medications are genuine. Approximately 10 to 35% of prescribed medicines in the developing world are counterfeit, which is a big issue, and smart labels can help overcome it. Logistics providers, wholesalers, pharmacies, clinics, freight forwarders, and even patients can track medicines with smart labels.

 

Improved Supply Chain Management 

A smart label can improve brand protection because pharmacists and supply chain managers can pinpoint a missing shipment. They can determine if it has been stolen or tampered with.

 

Manual inventories can take a long time. Most businesses spend weeks managing their inventory and supply chain. However, with smart labels, the overall time spent on inventory management can be reduced by a considerable amount.

Holostik Understands the Challenges of the Pharma Industry

 

Holostik is a leading anti-counterfeit solution provider. It offers highly secure labeling solutions with several features and functions that help overcome various issues.

Today’s consumers are particular about the product, brand, and features they choose. With the mass adoption of social media and information availability, consumer awareness has increased by several notches. However, those trying to develop fake products are on the rise.

 

The Indian consumer market with a large population, evolving supply chain, and inherent challenges with law enforcement provide opportunities to fraudsters.  There is an urgent need to address this alarming situation through appropriate security measures.

 

“Manufacturers must incorporate brand protection solutions in their products to safeguard against counterfeiters and ensure the safety of consumers.”

 

Counterfeiters have improvised their methods, making it difficult for consumers to differentiate the original product from a fake one. Hence, there is a strong need for manufacturers to adopt security labels, security holograms, and other anti-counterfeit solutions to ensure the reputation and goodwill of their products.

 

Sophisticated security packaging solutions can help manufacturers/brand owners to safeguard their products from counterfeiting, tampering, and other forms of illegal handling in the supply chain.

Safety and Security is a Priority

There is a growing awareness among consumers about their products, including the food, cosmetics, household items, and clothes they use. They do not just look at its generic use but are conscious of the branding, heritage, and quality that is purchased. The business owner needs to ensure the quality and features that their product has established in the market over the years remain unaffected.

Brand Protection

It takes several years, sometimes multiple decades, to establish a brand image in the market for a product, but few incidents of counterfeiting or tampering can ruin brand perception. There are several cases reported from across the world when counterfeit products have affected the health of consumers and ruined the brand image.

 

Hologram manufacturers in India provide business owners with solutions that safeguard their products from counterfeiting. Besides, product safety they also help to enhance the product’s visual appeal and boost sales growth.

Enhance Your Brand Image

When a product carries a security hologram and security label, it demonstrates how much emphasis the manufacturer has laid on his/her products and customers. Customers usually put trust in products that have a symbol of genuineness or authenticity. Holograms are the perfect mark or symbol of genuineness. Holostik high-security holograms are nearly impossible to replicate even with advanced machines.

Make Your Product Stand Apart

Besides providing security, holograms also give your product enhanced visibility on the store shelf. You can design your security hologram and security label with your brand logo, colour, name, and other product details, which help your customer instantly recognize your product.

Different types of Security Labels

You can choose your security label according to your requirement. It can be a QR Code label, hologram barcode label, tamper-evident label, holographic label with security cut, or custom tamper-proof label. One should choose the right security label based on the nature of the product, the number of labels required, and the cost factor.

 

“Lately, manufacturers have realized the importance of anti-counterfeit features in their product packging and are incorporating the same. The positive step has increased their sales and number of customers.” 

 

It is amply evident that business owners need solutions to safeguard the interests of their businesses and customers. Security holograms and labels provide them with peace of mind and a solution that helps them grow their business. You can choose from the list of available labels or reach out to a hologram manufacturer for the right solution that meets product and business requirements.

It is a fact that supply chains are getting complex worldwide. So, your products can get tampered with, counterfeited, or adulterated at any stage. There could also be high chances of product recalls, diversions, and logistic errors. This is generally due to a lack of uniformity in labelling & supply chain across the world.

GS1 barcode on products improves sharing of trusted data across supply chain stakeholders and prevent above-mentioned problems in the supply chain. This grows your business and empowers your consumers.

 

What is a GS1 barcode?

 

GS1 is a non-profit organization that develops & maintains global standards for business communication. GS1 standards begin with GS1 identification numbers (identifiers). They provide links between items and their information.

GS1 barcode is a symbolic code that has an encrypted set of standard information. These barcodes encode information such as key identifiers (product, shipment, location, etc.) and key attributes (serial number, batch, dates, etc.) via GS1 syntaxes.

GS1 linear barcodes/ 2D barcodes are scanned with laser or camera-based systems to decrypt & access the information.

“Holostik can provide custom GS1 barcode labels & packaging under one roof”
