SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Further demonstrating Axway’s understanding of the pharmaceutical supply chain, Axway Trade Activity Manager (TAM) powered by Synchrony™ has won the Healthcare Distribution Management Association (HDMA) iBusiness Solution Award. Axway TAM was recognized for its ability to improve collaboration with customers and efficiently manage distribution agreements within the pharmaceutical supply chain. In previous years, Axway won the iBusiness Solution Award for Axway ePedigree and Axway Controlled Substance Ordering System (CSOS) products.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers face competitive pressure to increase fill rates and maximize days-on-hand levels to service all available revenue opportunities. Axway TAM provides a simple solution to manage today’s complex trade operations. Specifically, it enables trade, customer service and finance managers to visualize, analyze and quickly act on demand trends and inventory imbalances in real-time, providing the insight needed to understand and fulfill true demand.
