Taking time to provide us with a detailed insight into the firm, is marketingmanager Anne-Isabelle Gauvinwho reveals more about their innovative solutions. Creating a Better World OPTEL is the only company with the ability to offer end- to-end traceability solutions, providing true visibility across the entire supply chain, from extraction of raw materials to the consumer. OPTEL’s solutions allow diverse industries, including pharma, to benefit from actionable, real- time data to ensure the quality, integrity and authenticity of consumer products. The company’s mission is to use its innovative traceability technologies to create a better world through the Intelligent Supply Chain. TM Leveraging technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT), OPTEL’s Intelligent Supply ChainTM will provide end-to-end traceability from raw materials to the consumer, effectively - and for the first time - connecting all the actors along the supply chain. This allows industries to achieve unprecedented transparency, increase business performance and create more efficient manufacturing processes. Through product tracking, data acquisition and connectivity at every step along the supply chain, OPTEL’s technologies provide the much-needed visibility and actionable data required to ensure product safety, stop counterfeiting, reduce waste, cut distribution costs, increase productivity, and protect the environment. All this in turn contributes to substantial economic growth that is sustainable, ethical and environmentally friendly. With such powerful tools, companies can track their products, optimise manufacturing and monitor social and environmental impact in real time. And consumers can finally understand the impact of their purchasing decisions and be rest assured that the product they purchased is exactly the product they received. On the pharmaceutical front, allowing the consumer to become an active member of the supply chain can stop counterfeiting in its tracks, directly preventing people from taking ineffective or harmful medications and saving thousands of lives every year. Once a connection is established with the patient, real-time pharmacovigilance becomes a reality, pandemics can be detected as they begin, and super-bacteria can be fought more effectively. Based in Québec City, Canada, with additional facilities in the United States, Ireland, India and Brazil, OPTEL, a Certified B Corporation, has expanded significantly to meet growing industry needs and to support its humanitarian values.
