The life of a serialized product only starts at the packaging line. Going forward, serialized goods will travel through every aspect of your supply chain- just as non-serialized goods do today.  Integrating your packaging, MES, ERP, plant, warehouse, trading partner and cloud systems in such a way that they can recognize and process serialized goods-related data is often an overlooked (yet critical) step in most serialization efforts.

Vantage offers a full suite of services around these typical integration efforts. Our team has extensive experience in:
