Pharmaceutical Track & Trace System

Streamline compliance with real-time traceability

Track and trace materials, equipment, and processes across your operations. Monitor every step from raw materials to final product to improve visibility, ensure compliance, and meet regulatory and quality standards with confidence.

Operator inspecting pharma equipment

A smarter way to track and trace products

Tulip captures production context in real time, linking operator actions, machine data, and digital logbooks in one compliant system. Reduce the burden of documentation and empower quality and ops teams to release batches faster and with confidence.

Improve batch flow and resolve deviations in real time

Enable operators to flag deviations instantly and capture cycle times, yields, and variances across batches. Balance work across suites while maintaining compliance and throughput.

Pharmaceutical serialization and traceability
  • Elevate productivity

    Identify bottlenecks in changeover, cleaning, and sampling with real-time alerts that keep production moving.

  • Create a digital audit trail

    Maintain GxP-compliant records with e-signatures, timestamps, and user access controls. Know who did what, when, and under what conditions.

  • Make data-driven decisions

    Resolve issues faster with real-time data. Use review-by-exception to reduce batch record review time and accelerate release.

An easier way to track regulated production

  • No-Code App Editor

    Easily build and validate user-friendly apps that improve traceability without writing code. Start fresh or adapt pre-built templates for electronic batch records, logbooks, and environmental monitoring.

  • Flexible Interfaces

    Deploy Tulip apps across cleanroom tablets, HMIs, and workstations to guide operators and enforce SOPs in controlled environments.

  • Edge Connectivity

    Leverage native edge capabilities to connect directly to facility systems, equipment, and sensors while maintaining validated controls.

  • Integrations With Your Existing Systems

    Link production data with ERP, LIMS, and QMS for seamless traceability, deviation management, and compliance reporting.

  • Visualize Operator Data

    Track batch cycle time, OEE, deviation frequency, and environmental parameters to inform timely decision-making.

  • GxP-Ready Platform

    Tulip is pre-validated with a full documentation package and SOP templates, reducing the time and cost of validation.

Case Study

Pharmaceutical company leveraged apps to reduce line changeover time from 14 days to 3.

See how digitizing SOPs for a complex equipment line changeover reduced errors and time to complete. As the operation progresses, applications automatically update and provide visibility on challenges and timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • What is a pharmaceutical track-and-trace system and what outcomes does it deliver?

    A pharma track-and-trace system captures the movement and transformation of materials and products across the entire supply chain and production process, creating an end-to-end, auditable history of each batch or device. The goal is to ensure product quality, safety, and regulatory compliance by documenting what happened, where, when, by whom, and under which conditions.

    Benefits include faster root-cause analysis, continuous improvement from real-time data, end-to-end visibility from raw materials to finished goods, and the ability to identify, isolate, and handle defects efficiently when issues arise.

  • How does real-time traceability benefit pharmaceutical manufacturers?

    Real-time track and trace provides immediate visibility into production and supply chain operations. Manufacturers can detect deviations as they occur, shorten batch record review times, and accelerate deviation investigations. This not only improves compliance readiness but also increases throughput and reduces downtime. Ultimately, real-time traceability helps pharma companies deliver safe, high-quality products to market faster while maintaining regulatory confidence.

  • How does Tulip support GxP and 21 CFR Part 11/Annex 11 requirements?

    Tulip is designed for regulated environments and supports Part 11/Annex 11 through electronic signatures, audit trails, timestamps, and secure access controls, with features that make compliance demonstrable and inspection-ready. The platform’s design and validation approach aim to meet GxP expectations, and its searchable audit trails reduce the burden of maintaining procedural control. In-process quality checks and data validation help surface exceptions early so that records are right-the-first-time.

  • What data sources and systems are connected to build end-to-end genealogy?

    Tulip aggregates data from operators (apps/logbooks), machines, and sensors and connects to enterprise systems to keep records synchronized. Typical integrations include ERP, LIMS, and QMS to link materials, specifications, test results, deviations/CAPAs, and batch disposition decisions. Tulip’s connectors enable seamless data flow so that compliance activities (eBR/eDHR/logbooks) are tied directly to guided work instructions and equipment data—creating a single, coherent record for each batch.

  • How does a track-and-trace system speed batch release and strengthen deviation/recall response?

    By collecting real-time, contextual data, Tulip helps teams identify and resolve issues faster. Comprehensive, up-to-date data shortens investigations and supports continuous improvement; exception reporting + audit trails streamline record review; and in-process quality review with data validation reduces downstream rework. When a quality event or recall occurs, end-to-end visibility enables quick isolation of affected lots and precise, documented actions, accelerating safe, compliant resolution.

  • How does track and trace reduce the risk of counterfeiting and recalls?

    By assigning unique identifiers (such as barcodes, RFID tags, or serial numbers) to each product and capturing data at every stage, track and trace systems make it possible to authenticate products throughout the supply chain. This reduces the risk of counterfeit drugs entering the market and enables rapid, targeted recalls when necessary. With real-time visibility, manufacturers can quickly isolate affected batches, protecting patient safety and brand trust.
