Drop-Ship Data Routing
Solving Complexity with Automation
Updated on: 04/02/2025
Drop-ship orders have become a staple in pharmaceutical logistics—but managing data exchange in these scenarios has historically been messy, inconsistent, and manual. With DataX’s latest update, that complexity is now under control.
Introducing intelligent drop-ship routing, a new feature designed to simplify and automate data delivery when standard identifiers like GLNs are unavailable or incomplete.
Automated Routing When GLNs Are Missing
One of the biggest challenges with drop-shipments is knowing where to send EPCIS data when there’s no formal trading relationship in place. DataX solves this with an address-matching algorithm that analyzes shipment details to determine the correct downstream recipient—even when GLNs are absent.
No more guesswork, no more delays.
Files Are Auto-Tagged for Visibility
To ensure traceability and audit-readiness, all drop-ship files processed through DataX are automatically tagged. This makes them easy to identify within your reporting tools and provides a clear view of which exchanges are connected to drop-ship scenarios.
We Handle Partner Provisioning
In many drop-ship cases, your customer may not have a system for receiving EPCIS data—or even know they need one. We’ve built that into our model.
For every new drop-ship partner, DataX provisions a dedicated portal account, giving them:
- Secure, login-based access to their data
- The same experience and visibility you have
- No additional configuration required on your side
Our team also manages onboarding and support, so your operational resources stay focused.
Built for Real-World Use
This feature is especially useful for:
- Manufacturers servicing pharmacies and health systems directly
- 3PLs and distributors managing customer shipments
- Compliance teams that need visibility into fragmented delivery networks
Built for Real-World Use
DataX’s intelligent drop-ship routing, tagging, and provisioning features are now live for all current users. No extra modules. No additional cost.
