Every industry has its quirks. Here are yours.

We've mapped the operational quirks of pharmaceuticals & medical against Nautilus capabilities. Each challenge here pairs with how we handle it.

The challenge

Serialization mandates

DSCSA and EU FMD require unique serial numbers on every unit. Manual tracking is impossible at scale, and the penalty for failure is exclusion from the supply chain.

How Nautilus handles it
Per-unitSerial records

Serial number tracking

Record serial numbers for serialized units, alongside each unit's lot and expiration date.

The challenge

Cold chain integrity

Temperature excursions can destroy high-value inventory. You need proof that storage conditions were maintained, not just a claim.

How Nautilus handles it
FEFOExpiry-first picking

Lots, expiry, and quarantine

Track lots and expiration dates, pick the earliest-expiring stock first, and hold anything that needs inspection in QC quarantine until someone releases it.

The challenge

Regulatory audits

FDA, DEA, and state boards can audit at any time. Your records need to be complete, accurate, and producible on demand.

NamedOperator on every scan

Audit trail

Every scan, movement, and adjustment is timestamped and attributed to a named operator in the audit log, so you can show who handled what, and when.

From dock to door.

Every action a pharmaceuticals & medical warehouse takes, mapped to a Nautilus flow — running on phones, tablets, or rugged scanners.

01

Receive

Stock is received against its lot and expiration date, and serial numbers are recorded for serialized units.

02

Quarantine hold

Anything that needs inspection goes to QC quarantine and can't be picked until it's released.

03

Expiry-first pick

Pick lists send the earliest-expiring lot first, and every pick is recorded against the operator who made it.

04

Verified pack

Picks are scanned to verify them before they ship, and the check lands in the audit log.

Pharmaceuticals & Medical questions, answered.

The questions buyers in pharmaceuticals & medical ask before they sign. If yours isn't here, the team can answer it on a discovery call.

Nautilus covers the inventory side: serial numbers, lots, expiration dates, and an audit log of every movement. It doesn't generate EPCIS files or exchange transaction data with trading partners today, and DSCSA compliance also depends on your own processes. If you need those pieces, talk to us before you commit.

Inventory data for medical devices doesn't typically contain PHI directly, but customer order data sometimes does (patient name, procedure, facility). Data in Nautilus is encrypted in transit and at rest, each organization's data is isolated at the database level with row-level security, access is controlled by role-based permissions, and changes are recorded in an audit log. Nautilus isn't HIPAA certified and doesn't sign BAAs, so keep patient details out of order records. See /legal/security for details.

Not today. Nautilus doesn't produce EPCIS files. If your trading partners require them, tell us before you commit.

No. Nautilus doesn't connect to temperature monitors or data loggers. It handles the inventory side (lots, expiration dates, and quarantine holds) alongside whatever monitoring you already use.
