Antares Vision Group to Resell Spherity’s Digital Credentials for Faster DSCSA Compliance

Antares Vision Group, a leader in track-and-trace and product quality technologies for the pharmaceutical supply chain, is expanding its partnership with Spherity. Under a new reseller agreement, Antares will now directly provide Spherity's Authorized Trading Partner (ATP) digital credentials to its customers.

The update builds on a collaboration launched in 2023 and directly responds to strong customer demand for a simpler way to achieve compliance under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA).

DSCSA Compliance: Verifying Authorized Trading Partners

The DSCSA is a U.S. law designed to enhance drug supply chain security and prevent counterfeit or unsafe medicines from reaching patients. A key element requires all trading partners—manufacturers, wholesalers, dispensers, and 3PLs—to:

• Prove they are properly licensed and authorized
• Securely exchange regulated product data
• Verify who they're doing business with before any transaction

Today, proving Authorized Trading Partner (ATP) status is often still a manual process involving license checks, spreadsheets, and multiple data sources—which adds risk and slows supply chain operations.

Spherity's ATP digital credentials solve that problem by combining identity, licensing status, and required verification into one secure credential. Connected systems can instantly confirm whether a trading partner is authorized to exchange product data with no manual digging or reconciliation.

Credentials Integrated Into Antares Vision Solutions

Many Antares Vision Group customers are already using Spherity's credentialing solution. By becoming a reseller, Antares Vision Group can bundle those credentials directly into its existing DSCSA traceability and data-exchange platform, eliminating extra contracting steps and makes onboarding faster and easier.

"We are seeing strong demand from our customers to simplify DSCSA ATP status," said Mattia Assanelli, General Manager, Supply Chain Transparency, Antares Vision Group. "By becoming a reseller of Spherity's ATP credentials, we make it easier for every Antares Vision customer to join the growing group of trading partners already achieving compliance and digital trust. One of the key takeaways for us is clear: believing them is knowing them. This partnership delivers a single, integrated platform for compliance, transparency, and cyber resilience."

Expanded Benefits Beyond DSCSA Requirements

While the immediate priority is DSCSA enforcement, the companies say digital credentials offer broader benefits:

• Cybersecurity: Verify that only legitimate trading partners can access sensitive supply chain systems
• Onboarding: Automate verification when establishing new business relationships
• License lifecycle management: Support ongoing monitoring and renewal of credentials
• Operational efficiency: Replace paper-based checks with real-time automation

"Momentum is building fast. Many Antares Vision customers are already credentialed with us, and this reseller agreement ensures that the rest of the industry can quickly and seamlessly follow their lead. Beyond DSCSA, ATP credentials strengthen cybersecurity, streamline onboarding, and improve trading partner management. The ability to grow and adapt is not just advantageous—it's essential for the future of trusted digital ecosystems and efficiency of DSCSA ATP verifications." Eddie Pak, Director of Strategic Partnerships at Spherity.

As pharmaceutical data exchange becomes increasingly digital, identity verification is becoming a cornerstone of modern supply chain cybersecurity and resilience. By adding Spherity's digital ATP credentials to its offering, Antares Vision Group is giving customers a faster, more integrated path to both DSCSA compliance while supporting secure supply chain collaboration moving forward.
