Overview

Drug license compliance enforced at the transaction level

Pharmaceutical, biotech, and MedTech companies distributing regulated products are required to validate DEA and state licenses for every transaction involving controlled substances. Manual license checks are slow, inconsistent, and impossible to audit reliably at scale.

The Archer Drug License App centralizes all license management inside NetSuite. It supports 3 license types - Seller License, DEA Ship To/From, and State Ship To/From - each with field-level validation rules enforced at the transaction level before any order is processed.

When a transaction involves an unlicensed or non-compliant entity, it is blocked automatically with a clear reason flagged for compliance review. License data from external ERP or supplier systems can be revalidated within NetSuite, preventing outdated or incorrect data from reaching transactions.
