Instant Certificate of Analysis Exchange Platform

DASH

For Quality Leaders under increasing pressure to accelerate products through the supply chain – to improve cycle times and reduce inventory – performance will always be limited by the time and errors associated with manually exchanging Certificates of Analysis via pdfs and email.

DASH replaces slow, email-based CoA exchanges with instant, secure, data sharing – between organisations to:

• Reduce CoA errors, rework and deviations
• Eliminate manual data re-entry
• Improve schedule adherence and cycle times
• Strengthening Quality’s control over the pace of product progression

How DASH works

DASH is a configurable, off-the-shelf software platform that:

Automatically extracts CoA information from different supplier document formats and systems – checking information against client standards

…Enabling Review by Exception

Instantly converts approved documents to structured XML file containing immutable signature with human-readable view

…Maintaining Expert in the Loop

Securely transmits to any QMS or process at receiving organisation with forever transaction log

…Building end-to-end data integrity for inspection readiness

By replacing slow, document-heavy processes with automated, reliable data flows, DASH transforms the material intake and approval process.

• For use by any organisation in the supply chain
• Connects any supplier document to any client requirement
• Integrates with what you already work with including S3, PowerBI, Veeva and SharePoint
• Connects to LIMS, ERP, MES, CTMS, QMS – wherever your data is
• XML files automatically accompanied by human-readable, structured PDFs for review and sign-off
• Appends digital signatures to demonstrate immutability and guarantee end-to-end data integrity
• Every action in the application logged by user and date-stamped
• Support with set up connectivity and mapping, ensuring automatic configuration to the specification and format requirements for each CoA
• Support with ongoing material changes, specification changes, even site changes that impact production of COAs

We have not met a data format DASH can’t incorporate – from direct system integration to low-grade scans of printed documents, DASH easily acquires, extracts, classifies and maps data to client requirements creating a quality assured pipeline with as much human-in-the-loop oversight as demanded.

DASH strengthens Quality's control over the pace of product progression

• Integrates with any system
• Machine reliability
• Human readable viewers
• Configurable to any client spec
• Secure platform
• Works with any level of digital maturity

Beyond certificates of analysis

Backed by Innovate UK, DASH is the result of the Digital Pharmalink collaboration between GSK, The University of Cambridge, Good Digital Practice (now part of DTG) and CPI. The collaboration set out to create a new paradigm for pharmaceutical supply chain information exchange: to enable organisations to transfer trusted, structured data instead of documents – from different operational systems and processes.

The DASH platform was built to support any data exchange between external organisations – without the need to change the existing enterprise systems in each organisation. The exchange of Certificates of Analysis is only the first application for the platform with a roadmap for supporting a broader range of structured data exchanges across a supply chain.
