This is the second blog post for HealthMatriX’s White-Label Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Track-and-Trace Platform Series.

Counterfeit medicines are on the rise and more than 6,615 pharmaceutical crime incidents were in 2022, up 10 percent from the year before and the peak figure since 20 years ago.

Traceability is an essential element of any supply chain, but it carries even greater significance in clinical settings where the consequences of failures can be gravely serious for patients. The ability to quickly and accurately identify the origin, production details, supplier involvement, delivery recipient, destination, and timing of products provides critical safeguards against clinical errors and enables prompt remedial measures in the unlikely event of an error.

By integrating traceability with unique identification, we can effectively prevent errors, improve quality, increase efficiency, and reduce costs. It is, therefore, paramount that we adopt traceability as a core component of our supply chain management practices.

White-labeling presents businesses with a valuable opportunity to enhance their offerings with minimal financial investment. Given the constant evolution, counterfeit attacks, and heightened competition in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sector, integrating white-label solutions can prove to be a strategic move, allowing for the quick launch of new products.

Despite these benefits, businesses are often confused about what their business plan should be if they use a white-label solution, although it is necessary for selling a track-and-trace platform without development, deployment, or maintenance.

This confusion is understandable because if the white-label providers develop a track-and-trace platform, what will be their role in access and user management? To answer this and similar questions, this guide serves as a valuable partner for businesses wanting to develop a secure and successful business plan for white-label healthcare and pharmaceutical track-and-trace platforms.

When Should Businesses Consider White-Label Track & Trace Solution?

1. Businesses Want to Scale Their Services for Clients

To solve most of your clients’ business problems without spending a lot of money and investing time, you can employ white-label solutions.

2. Businesses Want to Enter the Market with a Unique Product

White-label solutions are highly customizable, and if you want to enter a market quickly without experiencing market saturation, you can employ a white-label solution and add some of your unique features to it.

3. Businesses Want to Expand their Client Portfolio

Big clients prefer a solution that solves all of their problems related to one specific area. To attract industry leaders and make them your clients, you need a product with a USP. One specific solution to getting big clients is employing a white-label solution and customizing it with your brand identity and your business’s unique features.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Develop a Business Strategy with White-Label Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Track & Trace Platform

If you have decided to sell your clients a white-label Healthcare and Pharmaceutical track & trace platform, you should implement the following processes for efficient workflows:

1. Decide The White-Label Service Provider

The first step is to choose a responsible white-label solution provider. Some factors that should help you decide between a white-label service provider are as follows:

2. Understand The White-Label Service Provider’s Access Protocol Process

You should try to understand what is the standard process of the white-label service providers to make a white-label solution for you. This is because developers and other IT professionals may know the code and it might be compromised if no protocols are employed.

To combat this, consider if the white-label service provider follows these strict protocols, that HealthMatriX follows for its white-label track-and-trace platform:

  1. Production Server: Access to this server is strictly limited to designated personnel, typically referred to as the “Release Manager” or “Release Lead.” It hosts the application code utilized by our track & trace platform users.
  2. Staging Server: Here, the quality assurance (QA) team rigorously tests new features and fixes, identifying and addressing any issues before deployment. Automated test suites ensure that all features meet predefined quality standards before deployment to the Production Server.
  3. Developer Environment: New code and features are developed in a controlled and monitored local environment accessible only by named developers. After thorough testing and code review, the code is pushed to a secured cloud-hosted server, known as the Staging Server.

Through our rigorous access management process, we guarantee the security and integrity of our white-label track-and-trace solution, maintaining trust with users and preventing unauthorized access.

3. Provide Your Requirements for the White-Label Track-and-Trace Platform:

The next step to getting a white-label Healthcare and Pharmaceutical track-and-trace platform is to articulate your needs and the features needed. Of course, there will be the basic version of the track-and-trace platform, which should include the following service offerings:

Through our rigorous access management process, we guarantee the security and integrity of our white-label track-and-trace solution, maintaining trust with users and preventing unauthorized access.

4. Test the Final Track-and-Trace Platform

After the white-label service providers develop a track-and-trace platform per your needs, you should test the platform in the following ways:

Testing a white-label Healthcare and Pharmaceutical track-and-trace platform involves ensuring its functionality, security, and usability. Here’s a tailored approach to testing such a solution:

1. Functionality Testing:

2. Security Testing:

3. Usability Testing:

4. Performance Testing:

5. Integration Testing:

6. Compliance Testing:

Ensure that the platform complies with relevant regulations and standards, such as FDA regulations for pharmaceutical products or GS1 standards for product identification.

7. Documentation and Training:

8. End-to-End Testing:

Conduct end-to-end testing to simulate real-world scenarios, including product serialization, shipment tracking, and authentication at various points in the supply chain.

9. Feedback and Iteration:

After the white-label track-and-trace platform meets your requirements and functions securely, accurately, and efficiently, you should start marketing the platform under your brand identity to your existing clients and prospects.

5. Clarify Roles for Customer Support and Maintenance Services

It is important to establish communication with the white-label service provider in advance to clarify the roles and responsibilities of both parties in terms of handling customer support and software maintenance services.

Typically, the white-label service provider is responsible for providing customer support related to the software and any assistance required by customers under your brand identity. They also handle regular maintenance, periodic updates, and backup systems. Additionally, they are responsible for providing customer engagement, logistics services, warranty product registration management, and product recall management under your brand identity.

This means that they are responsible for all the back-end processes related to the track-and-trace software.

6. Develop a Pricing Strategy for your Customers

To establish the most suitable pricing structure for our white-label track-and-trace platform, we need to take into account various factors, including:

By carefully considering these factors, we can ensure that our white-label track-and-trace platform remains both cost-effective and competitive in the market.
