At this year’s SAP Innovation Day for Life Sciences, IndX challenged a familiar mindset: the real barrier to DSCSA agility isn’t compliance itself but the way it’s been managed. Our joint session with Hikma Pharmaceuticals, “DSCSA Done Right: End-to-End Serialization with SAP ATTP, SAP ICH & IndX,” gave attendees a clear look at how digital traceability, when designed with intent, becomes a driver of operational intelligence across the supply chain.

IndX and Hikma Show What DSCSA Success Looks Like

At the SAP Innovation Day for Life Sciences, IndX has challenged a familiar mindset: the real barrier to DSCSA agility isn’t compliance itself but the way it’s been managed.

Our joint session with Manish Garg, PMP, PSM, Associate Director, IT Applications, Serialization, Track & Trace at Hikma Pharmaceuticals, “DSCSA Done Right: End-to-End Serialization with SAP ATTP, SAP ICH & IndX,” gave attendees a clear view of how digital traceability, when designed with intent, becomes a driver of operational intelligence across the supply chain.

From Mandate to Mastery: How Hikma Built a Smarter Serialization Network

Hikma’s serialization program is a story of scale and precision. One in every six injectable medicines used in US hospitals comes from Hikma, so reliability and traceability are non-negotiable. Working with IndX, the company designed a unified architecture connecting SAP ATTP, SAP ICH and ERP systems to ensure every product, batch and shipment is traceable from packaging line to regulator.

This unified approach gave Hikma full visibility into its global supply chain. A central repository now consolidates serialized data from multiple sites, while native integrations with SAP ERP and SAP ICH streamline data flow between manufacturing, packaging and external partners. Partner onboarding, once complex and manual, is now faster and simpler through standardized, self-service tools. Advanced reporting capabilities provide near real-time insight into inventory movement, compliance status and market readiness.

The impact was tremendous. Hikma reduced onboarding complexity and transaction costs, improved response time and adaptivity to regulatory changes, and strengthened trust in its brand through consistent, compliant delivery. Collaboration between IndX, SAP and Hikma’s internal teams ensured an on-time deployment and a stable, scalable system that supports growth as new partners join the network.

Together, the project demonstrated how compliance-led programs can evolve into operational advantages that strengthen both agility and trust across the supply chain.

Beyond the Rulebook: Compliance that Drives Performance

At IndX, we see compliance as more than an obligation. When built on the digital thread, serialization data becomes a strategic asset that powers production insight, supply chain visibility and market responsiveness.

At our booth, attendees saw how this vision works in practice. Live demos highlighted:

  • Integration between SAP ATTP, MES and packaging systems for instant traceability
  • Streamlined data exchange through SAP ICH for seamless partner connectivity
  • Tangible benefits such as reduced waste, fewer recalls and lower counterfeit risk

It’s not about checking boxes faster. It’s about building systems that make manufacturers smarter and more resilient.

The IndX Perspective: Compliance as Catalyst

Throughout the event, our experts emphasized one truth: compliance isn’t the obstacle to transformation, it’s the starting point. When manufacturers treat it as a platform for innovation instead of an IT task, they can create a foundation for connected, data-driven operations built to adapt and scale.
