NANO PTTS
NANO Pharmacological Track & Trace Solution
What the solution actually does
NANO follows a medicine across its whole life: from the manufacturer or importer, through the warehouse, to the clinic, hospital or pharmacy that dispenses it, and on to the reimbursement institution that pays for it.
Nationwide coverage. Traceability across the entire country, involving all stakeholders rather than a single link in the chain.
Box-level tracing. Tracking at the level of the individual box, so traceability is complete rather than approximate.
End-to-end traceability. The entire lifecycle of a product is covered, from manufacturing through to dispensing.
Inclusive of all products. Prescribed medicines, non-prescribed medicines and nutrition products alike.
GS1 compliant serialization. Serialization follows the global standard, which is what makes the data compatible across systems and secure across borders.
Seamless integration. Integrates with all stakeholders, including NANO-Hub, central e-Prescription systems and pharmacy solutions.
Increased Productivity
With excellent drug track and trace solutions, the drug movement between production and sales channels can be controlled from start to end. All pharmaceutical companies are obligated to track and trace all production process steps to ensure manufacturing compliance with regulations.
Preventing Counterfeit Drugs
It is not viable for drug makers to combat counterfeit and substandard drugs on their own. Since there is an extensive supply chain, counterfeit and substandard drugs can be restricted with the investments and collaboration of government and corporations proffering pharmaceutical track and trace solutions.
Controlled and narcotic medications
Controlled substances need a tighter loop than the rest of the supply chain, and the same platform closes it.
Rigorous monitoring. Strict controls over narcotic drugs, to ensure compliance and prevent misuse.
Comprehensive prescription management. Secure management of prescriptions, from issuance through to dispensing.
Real-time stock management. Stock levels of controlled substances are monitored in real time, which is what reduces the risk of diversion.

Standards and code sets
- GS1
How this works with the rest of the suite
- NANO HUB
The hub is named as an integration point — serialization data is only useful once it reaches the systems that dispense and reimburse.
- NANO IDDK
Tracing a box says where a medicine went; the drug knowledge base says what it is and what it interacts with.
- NANO PBM
Pharmacy benefit decides what is covered and at what price; track and trace establishes that the product dispensed was genuine.
- NANO PSP
Adherence programmes depend on the medicine actually reaching the patient, which is the last link this chain covers.
Frequently asked questions
What is pharmaceutical track and trace?
- Following a medicine through every step between manufacture and the patient, so at any point you can say where a specific pack came from and where it went. Regulators require it because a supply chain nobody can see is one in which a counterfeit cannot be found.
What does box-level tracing add over batch-level?
- Precision at the point it matters. Batch-level tracing tells you that a consignment is suspect; box-level tracing tells you which units. That is the difference between a recall that removes a region of stock and one that removes the packs actually affected.
Why does GS1 serialization matter?
- Because the data has to be read by systems and countries that did not build it. Following the global standard is what makes serialization compatible across systems and secure across borders, which a proprietary scheme cannot be however well designed.
Does it cover more than prescription medicines?
- Yes — prescribed medicines, non-prescribed medicines and nutrition products alike. Counterfeiting does not respect the prescription boundary, and a traceability scheme with a gap in it is a scheme with a known route through it.
Can one manufacturer solve counterfeiting alone?
- No, and that is the structural point. The supply chain is extensive, so counterfeit and substandard medicines are restricted only through the investment and collaboration of government and the companies providing traceability. A scheme that covers one participant covers one link.
