Global Vision and Paxonix align for pharma solution

Global Vision, a leader in the design and delivery of automated proofreading solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with Paxonix, a MeadWestvaco company offering brand and packaging asset lifecycle management software.

By combining Docu-Proof and PaxPro, packaging and brand managers will enjoy a single platform for package management. Docu-Proof, a document and graphic comparator, ensures the highest accuracy of packaging components. The complementary system lets packagers compare graphic and text files for missing, added, or moved text as well as font differences and spelling errors. PaxPro offers intelligent forms linked to a business rules engine, electronic routing and approvals, digital asset management, workflow processes, and project management. Delivered as a software as a service, PaxPro imparts complete visibility into all assets at all times in a central, secure environment, creating a single version of the truth.

‘The market today affords no room for error, particularly at a time when being a day late to market can result in the loss of thousands, maybe millions of dollars,’ said Kent St. Vrain, VP of marketing and business development for Paxonix. ‘Therefore, brand and packaging managers need to get it right the first time – to improve speed to market on new products and minimize rework on new or revamped packages. By integrating our solutions, packaging departments are assured improved efficiencies as many packaging blunders can be averted.’

As both companies focus on the pharmaceutical industry as a key target, PaxPro and Docu-Proof, individually and collectively, meet FDA requirements including 21 CFR part 11, a rule governing electronic record systems. With validation embedded within the solution, compliance then becomes an afterthought, not a barrier.

Paxonix shares our vision for dramatically reducing supply chain time and the risks of artwork errors.’ said Reuben Malz, CEO of Global Vision. ‘With Paxonix, Global Vision can build on its commitment to delivering unsurpassable quality to the process. Collectively we can ensure only accurate information goes to the right people at the right time.’

Under the terms of the agreement, Paxonix will also act as a preferred reseller for Global Vision’s suite.
