SMARTHUB CONNECT^™

Most systems move data.
We run the program.

Validated-at-ingest traceability submissions, shared Validation Receipts, and real-time oversight, so onboarding scales, exception loops shrink, and audits are defensible.

National L5 succeeds or fails on onboarding throughput, data quality, and exception resolution; we’re built to operationalize all three.

When ambiguity and exception loops scale, illicit and substandard products find the gaps; operational control closes them.

Built on GS1 EPCIS: Accept EPCIS 1.2/2.0 (XML/JSON/JSON-LD) → normalize to a canonical JSON-LD model for consistent validation and audit.

Validation Receipts confirm submission integrity and validation outcome. They do not constitute product approval or regulatory authorization.

The real L5 problem

What The Industry Lives With

L5 programs don’t break because EPCIS isn’t a standard.
They break because, at national scale, four forces overwhelm everyone:

Onboarding Throughput

Getting dozens or hundreds of MAHs connected and submitting usable data

Exception Economics

Structural issues, inconsistent completeness, and relentless remediation loops

Connectivity Friction

AS2/API setup, certificates, transmission issues, trading-partner configuration

Master Data Alignment

Mismatched expectations across identifiers, locations, and rule interpretations

SmartHub Connect^™ is built to solve those realities, not just collect submissions.

What’s different:
We normalize every submission into one canonical model, enforce ministry-defined rules consistently, and issue shared Validation Receipts that power real-time oversight and exportable audit packs.

What Does a Real L5 Program Look Like?

A Real L5 Program Is An Operating Model. Not A Data Pipe.

Governed rules

The Ministry defines the validation policy. SmartHub Connect^™ enforces it consistently across every MAH, so requirements are clear, outcomes are predictable, and enforcement is defensible.

Validated-at-ingest execution

We normalize submissions into one canonical model (JSON-LD) and validate at ingest, so issues are caught early, remediation cycles shorten, and first-pass success improves as the program scales.

Shared proof + program oversight

Every submission produces a Validation Receipt shared by MAH and regulator, and every outcome feeds real-time oversight, so the Ministry manages adoption, exceptions, and cycle time with evidence, not escalation.

Onboarding becomes measurable, exceptions become manageable, and audits become straightforward, because every outcome produces a receipt, and every receipt exports.

Governed rules + shared receipts + operational oversight, so adoption becomes manageable and enforcement becomes defensible.

Validated-at-Ingest

The Foundation For Trust

Validated-at-ingest isn’t a slogan; it’s how national programs avoid downstream chaos. The user experience is built to turn failures into fast correction cycles:

Catch issues early, shorten remediation cycles, and improve data quality as volume grows.

Compliance You Can Prove

Validation Receipts

When programs scale, ambiguity becomes operational debt: What was submitted? When? What passed? What failed?

SmartHub Connect^™ issues a Validation Receipt for every submission, tamper-evident, traceable, and exportable as an audit package. MAHs and regulators see the same receipt in the portal, backed by a validation report and supporting logs.

Every Validation Receipt includes:
Capture ID • Timestamp • Dataset hash • Status

Validation Receipts confirm
Submission integrity + Validation outcome.
They are not regulatory approval.

For Ministries of Health / Regulators

a guided program journey

SmartHub Connect^™ is designed around the regulator’s operational journey-from launch to scale-through a UX that makes adoption measurable, exceptions manageable, and audits defensible.

How the regulator experience delivers value

Governed Rules: See onboarding progress, submission quality, and systemic bottlenecks in real time.

Exception Resolution Workflow: Track failures by severity, age, and SLA; drive remediation cycles to closure.

Exportable Audit Packs: Export receipts, validation reports, and audit packs on demand.

Governed Policy Execution: Ministry-defined, versioned rules applied consistently across MAHs.

What the Regulator Sees From Day One

MAH onboarding status (invited → in progress → live)
Submission throughput (received, processed, passed, failed)
First-pass success rate and top failure reasons (by severity)
Exception aging, SLA risk, and remediation cycle time
One-click export: receipts, validation reports, and audit packs

Run onboarding and exceptions like an operating program – not a ticket queue.

FOR MAHs

a clean onboarding journey with fewer rejects

SmartHub Connect^™ is designed around the MAH experience, from onboarding to daily submissions, so teams spend less time firefighting and more time moving product.

How the MAH experience delivers value

Frictionless onboarding:
Clear steps, clear requirements, supported production channels
Predictable outcomes:
Consistent validation so results don't vary by format or interpretation
Actionable feedback:
Know what failed, why it failed, and what to fix
Permanent proof:
A Validation Receipt for every submission, shared with the regulator

Recommended production channels:
AS2 + REST API
(SFTP legacy; web upload for onboarding/tests)

What we validate at ingest (high level)

Structure and completeness (schema correctness and required fields)
Identifier integrity (format and consistency checks)
Event logic (prevent contradictory flows)
Master-data alignment (submitted attributes align with program expectations)
Duplicate and integrity controls (prevent ambiguous or duplicate submissions)

Mobile Verification

Trust at the point of scan

Scan a barcode and validate product details against authoritative program data. Designed for government inspectors and consumers, extending program trust into the field without complicating the L5 backbone

What users get

Proof/Reference

Reference Program

EFDA / Ethiopia: SmartHub Connect™ is supporting the initial onboarding and EPCIS validation cycles for the national pharmaceutical traceability program. As the program scales, MVC expects to publish measurable outcomes across onboarding throughput, validation pass rates, exception reduction, and audit readiness.

Turnkey deployment

Built for National Scale

We deploy SmartHub Connect^™ as a program – not just software. Our approach covers regulator configuration, MAH onboarding waves, technical enablement, and operational support – so go-live doesn’t become go-manual.

Most systems move data.
We run the program.
