Leave a comment

New capability for Supply Chain Work Management enables seamless resolution of supply chain exceptions and ensures adherence to regulations like DSCSA.

BOSTON, Sept. 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — TraceLink Inc., the leading digital network platform company enabling end-to-end product orchestration by connecting more than 290,000 healthcare and life sciences entities through its B2N Integrate-Once™ network, today announced a new capability, Supply Chain Work Management for Compliance Exceptions. This groundbreaking capability addresses the urgent need for compliance with the U.S. Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) regulation, which requires the collaborative resolution of exceptions between trading partners before the sale of products to subsequent trading partners.

Supply Chain Work Management for Compliance Exceptions by TraceLink offers an automated and efficient solution to manage, reconcile, and resolve compliance exceptions between trading partners. Drawing on the comprehensive guidance provided by the Healthcare Distribution Alliance (HDA) for DSCSA exception data capture, categorization, and tracking, TraceLink has developed this exception management capability to ensure compliance with federal laws, FDA regulations, and industry guidance while accelerating resolution time to keep products flowing through the supply chain. This capability is also available to assist with exception handling in other global markets.

To ensure this new capability launches with broad cross-industry representation, TraceLink has already signed 25+ Supply Chain Work Management for Compliance Exceptions customers now focused on collaborating with an initial target group of more than 700 critical supply partners. By adopting Supply Chain Work Management for Compliance Exceptions, supply chain partners can collaborate seamlessly, resolve issues promptly, and maintain continuity and efficiency in managing supply chain exceptions. With Supply Chain Work Management for Compliance Exceptions, supply chain members gain immediate access to:

  • A market-leading interoperable network of more than 290,000 authenticated and pre-onboarded trading partners.
  • Standards and processes to collaboratively identify and resolve exceptions in an agile manner.
  • Continuity and efficiency for collaborating with trading partners in managing supply chain deviations in a centralized, partner-friendly way.
  • Electronic and automated abilities for timely issue resolution, minimizing supply chain latency.
  • Integrate existing systems encountering the exception and automate the creation of a given exception to streamline processes.
  • Continuous compliance with federal laws, FDA regulations, and industry guidance through maintenance of documents, data requirements, and business practices consistent with regulatory frameworks.

“Compliance exception management represents a key capability within our comprehensive compliance toolkit,” said Shabbir Dahod, CEO and President of TraceLink. “We recognize the critical importance of DSCSA compliance and the challenges faced by trading partners in resolving exceptions effectively. Our new capability equips supply chain stakeholders with the tools they need to address exceptions collaboratively, ensuring product integrity and patient safety.”

TraceLink recognizes how important it is to quickly and reliably resolve exceptions related to DSCSA, a key element at the heart of why the FDA recently called for a 12 month stabilization period for DSCSA compliance. TraceLink has invested heavily into new capabilities to arm trade partners with the tools they need to collaboratively address such exceptions. Key features of the new compliance exception management capability within the TraceLink Supply Chain Work Management solution suite include the ability for application owners and supply chain partners to:

  • Create a compliance exception.
  • Submit an exception to a supply chain partner or against an internal site.
  • Add detailed information about the affected product, including Lot Number, Expiration Date, and a list of impacted Serial Numbers.
  • Include a comprehensive list of external transactions associated with the exception.
  • Associate entities such as Shipped From, Shipped To, and others with the exception.
  • Attach relevant files to the exception for comprehensive documentation.
  • Facilitate collaboration among users through comments and communication within the platform.
  • Facilitate the update of original compliance documentation based on the results of the exception management process.

Study Unveils Varied Perspectives of Different Age Groups on Digital Transformation Preparedness Among Singapore Workers

Leave a comment

The study provides insights into Singaporean workers’ attitudes towards digital transformation and company support.

SINGAPORE, Aug. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Reeracoen, a leading provider of human resource services in Singapore, and Rakuten Insight Global, an online market research subsidiary of Rakuten Group, have released results of their collaborative study. The research delves into the perspectives of Singapore workers from three different age groups to better understand how attitudes towards digital transformation have evolved and to evaluate the adequacy of company support in the context of accelerated global digitalisation efforts.

The COVID-19 pandemic has propelled companies worldwide to swiftly embrace digitalisation, requiring employees to adapt rapidly to new technologies. After more than three years since the outbreak, the survey aimed to assess whether Singaporean workers now consider themselves better prepared to navigate the realm of digital transformation.

Titled “Perceptions of Digitalisation in the New Normal World”, the study drew insights from 308 participants, with 39% (121 respondents) being Gen X and Baby Boomers, 38% (117 respondents) representing Gen Y, and 23% (70 respondents) from the Gen Z category.

Key Insights from the Study

From the integration of digital tools in workplaces to the proliferation of digital platforms in everyday life, it is easy to assume that awareness of digitalisation is widespread. Yet, the survey data underscores a notable gap in understanding among individuals, regardless of their age group. The survey also unearthed several key findings:

  • Awareness of Digitalisation: The survey indicated that less than half of the respondents were familiar with the term. Notably, a significant proportion of Gen Y respondents (45%) were unfamiliar with the concept. However, all generations indicated positive sentiments towards adopting digital transformation.
  • Company Readiness and Support in Upskilling: Most respondents believed their companies were prepared for digitalisation, with over 55% sharing this sentiment. Gen Z, often considered digital natives, exhibited the highest confidence at 63%. More than half of respondents felt supported by their companies to upskill. However, at least two-thirds across all demographics believed that Singaporean companies could still do more to help and embrace digitalisation.
  • Preferred Initiatives: While external training and time off work to upgrade were popular choices across the board, Gen X and Baby Boomers preferred the latter, with 41% choosing this option.
  • Responsibility for Digitalisation: Opinions on whether a specific department should helm digitalisation efforts were divided across generations. However, more respondents leaned towards a dedicated department for digitalisation. Gen X and Baby Boomers leaned towards the government (30%) and IT (29%) taking the lead, while Gen Y leaned towards IT (33%). A sizeable minority believed it should be a collective responsibility (21%). Gen Z favoured IT leadership (39%) and a government role (26%).
  • Familiarity with Upskilling Platforms: SkillsFuture emerged as the most recognised upskilling platform, familiar to over 73% of respondents in all three demographics. Workforce Singapore also garnered significant recognition. However, Gen X and Baby Boomers favoured Udemy and Microsoft Learn, while Gen Y and Gen Z preferred platforms like Grab and Microsoft Learn.

This study offers a comprehensive view of Singaporean workers’ evolving perceptions of digitalisation, equipping employers and job seekers with insights to navigate the digital age confidently. By understanding the perspectives of various generations, businesses can foster a cohesive working environment that adapts to the changing landscape of technology.

Mr. Kenji Naito, Group CEO of Reeracoen, shared, “Digitalisation is a defining force reshaping industries and economies. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this transformation, prompting businesses to reimagine operations and embrace technology. To remain relevant, companies must invest in upskilling and foster a culture of continuous learning.”

Empowering businesses to retain and attract talent adeptly is at the core of Reeracoen’s mission, and this study is an essential step toward achieving that objective. Through these insights, Reeracoen hopes to contribute to creating an enhanced working environment for employees nationwide.

ND Market: From Namdaemun Market in Korea to Amazon, a global retailer and wholesaler

Leave a comment

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ND Market, operating as a wholesale and retail platform, represents a pioneering startup dedicated to the digitization of the largest wholesale market in Korea – the Namdaemun Market. Drawing a daily crowd of 400,000, Namdaemun Market uniquely caters to a wide array of categories, which include accessories, children’s wear, pet supplies, and homeware.

ND Market
ND Market

Through ND Market, wholesale and retail traders can access over 10,000 wholesalers via website and app, without having to visit them in person. Platform services include customer management, order processing, secure payment, and efficient delivery. By digitizing wholesale and retail activities, Namdaemun merchants have been able to prioritize product development.

Significantly, it provided a new opportunity for the Namdaemun wholesale market, which was directly affected by COVID-19. Five businesses achieved cumulative sales in excess of 100 million won (USD 77,000) last year. Furthermore, with 60% of Namdaemun market transactions attributed to overseas exports, ND Market’s impressive performance has both boosted its domestic market and expanded its international reach.

ND Market consolidates products from different suppliers into one shipping box. This allows retailers to individually place delivery requests with various wholesalers, resulting in a cost-efficient alternative to accumulating separate delivery charges. Further, the product itself can be delivered directly to the end consumer through packaging, quality assessment, and consignment delivery services, resulting in a significant reduction in delivery time.

ND Market also offers a unique service by operating its own professional photography studio for the purpose of capturing images of wholesalers’ products. As a result of this strategic offering, wholesalers now have access to a comprehensive digital catalog of products with high-quality visuals. For retailers, the inconvenience of purchasing individual samples and photographing them one by one can now be eliminated.

ND Market’s CEO, Yang Seung-woo, emphasized, “We are not content with merely being a transactional bridge between wholesalers and retailers. We have examined what wholesalers and retailers genuinely require and have successfully implemented it.”

He presented a new perspective, stating, “Our vision now entails venturing into the global wholesale (B2B) market as the Amazon.”

NDmarket participates in “SEASONS Hong Kong: Fashion Jewellery & Accessories Fair” held in Hong Kong. The event takes place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) from September 20th to 24th for four days.

CGTN：”The Art Beat” Season II- Eight Artists Offer Fresh Takes on the China Story

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Aug. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — The Art Beat Season II premiered on CGTN television and various social media platforms on August 21. Each of its eight episodes focuses on the life and work of a different leading contemporary Chinese artist. Produced in multiple languages, it describes how their art tells China’s story from a cultural perspective.


Through an examination of their personal philosophies and their original paintings, performances and writings, the series reveals how, emboldened by the inspiration and strength they have gained from Chinese traditions, each artist has embraced innovation and taken his or her chosen art form into new areas of exploration.

Renowned artist Wu Yueshi believes that the essence of Chinese painting is found in the spiritual aspect of the whole. Only through deep cultivation is it possible to master subtlety of expression and gradually gain an insight into the profound and vast realm of Chinese art.

“Read, then paint” is the motto of Liu Wanming, an artist who is committed to depicting nature in the spirit of traditional Chinese painting. His love of reading, he says, has enabled him to bring an additional dimension of ancient charm to his paintings of the scenery of his hometown.

As an artist constantly seeking innovation, Shi Qi proposes the concept of “Three Forms in One”. The duality of representation and abstraction, he says, is incomplete. Rather, the trio of representation, impression and abstraction offer a fuller picture, defining both life and artistic creation.

“Art is a lifestyle that makes me happy,” says He Jialin, a painting master with a wide range of artistic interests. He believes in cultivating patriotism through his work and promoting traditional Chinese culture. In recent years, he has visited many ancient villages in China, determined to preserve the fading cultural heritage of these communities.

Ballet dancer Feng Ying’s career has been defined by a relentless pursuit of excellence and artistic expression. Persistent and dauntless, she has overcome various difficulties and ascended to the very pinnacle of her profession. Today, as the director of the National Ballet of China, she remains as committed as ever to her art.

“Audiences should be glued to their seats, listening intently to your every word,” says pingshu artist Tian Lianyuan. On stage, he uses just three everyday objects as props to tell his story – a fan, a wooden block and a handkerchief. Yet he manages to conjure “a life story, a historical drama” in which the audience become immersed in thousands of years of history and vast landscapes populated by vivid characters.

As the youngest recipient of the Mao Dun Literature Prize，Alai says he was destined to write. As a writer, he keenly evokes moments of excitement, confusion and pain without ever losing his sense of contemplation. “Humans are both the starting point and the destination,” he says.

“Using broad strokes and big ink blocks to bring a three-dimensional effect to the paper,” has been the defining approach of Zhou Jingxin. In 1995, he debuted a series of paintings that introduced a brand new style: “Ink Sculpture”. He firmly believes that traditional Chinese painting is consistent with the concept of three-dimensionality.

Unlocking the Latest Trends in Fashion Jewelry: Are You Up to Date?

Leave a comment

YIWU, China, Aug. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Fashion jewelry, a time-tested Yiwu export, has once again delivered impressive results this summer.

Fashion jewelry
Fashion jewelry

Yiwugo.com, the official website of the Yiwu Commodity Market, is the largest commodity wholesale market in the world. Popular search terms such as “hair clips,” “necklaces,” “earrings,” and “bracelets” have consistently remained within the top 20 rankings for several months, according to Yiwugo’s data. From May 1, 2023 to August 23, 2023, transaction volumes for “bracelets” and “necklaces” have demonstrated remarkable growth compared to the same period in the previous year. The “bracelets” category has experienced an impressive surge of approximately 30.8 times, while “necklaces” have seen a growth of around 23.6 times. Additionally, the “earrings” category has witnessed a substantial increase of approximately 15 folds. Furthermore, orders for “hair clips” have surged by 49.2% in comparison to the same period last year, with the transaction volume nearly quadrupling from the previous year. Through visits to several well-established jewelry merchants boasting over two decades of experience, it becomes apparent that their achievements are a result of the combined efforts of the Yiwugo platform’s promotional strategies and the unwavering dedication of the merchants.

Top Selling for Three Months: Dreamcatcher Ornaments

Yuan Bangyun is no stranger to the phenomenon of soaring orders. With nearly two decades of experience in jewelry design, manufacturing, and sales, Manxiuni Jewelry has positioned itself as a trusted brand. Through the consistent introduction of novel and innovative products on a daily basis, Yuan Bangyun showcases a steadfast dedication to offering customers an ever-evolving array of choices.

During the peak sales season, Yuan Bangyun’s Enterprise store on Yiwugo unveils more than 100 new products every month, accompanied by an even wider selection of items accessible to customers through offline channels.

In May, Manxiuni Jewelry introduced the Dreamcatcher collection of fashion accessories, which garnered favorable feedback from domestic e-commerce customer groups. Notably, a specific pair of earrings has remained consistently in high demand, with daily orders for over 500 sets for the past three months. Yuan Bangyun commented that this is just a taste of a minor hit item.

The quality of exported jewelry hinges on an effective plating process. Yuan Bangyun noted that the current level of plating technology and its associated costs have increased approximately four times compared to previous years. The continuous refinement of craftmanship has fostered high customer loyalty among the company’s overseas clients.

For almost 8 consecutive years, a loyal customer from Russia has been ordering the same classic pair of earrings from Yuan Bangyun. The monthly order value has consistently stayed at around $10,000, with orders coming in regularly and payments being made promptly, even during times of conflict. This enduring partnership can be attributed to the continuous enhancement of the company’s product quality over the years.

Awakening Love for Beauty: Dominance of Dopamine Color Scheme and Barbie Pink

Wan Chengying’s venture, Yangqin Accessory Firm, specializes in hair clips, hairbands, and related products, with nearly 80% of its business concentrated in foreign trade. The company has launched over 300 new products this summer, with themed collections particularly designed for popular trends both in the domestic and international markets. These products have been distributed through innovative fast-moving consumer goods channels, encompassing e-commerce platforms and other emerging distributors. With dopamine-inspired color schemes and Barbie pink as the flagship, it captured and deeply resonated with women’s innate craving for beauty.

In early July this year, the company unveiled a collection of dopamine-colored hair clips, which generated over 200,000 RMB in domestic market orders within a month. Taking inspiration from the success of the movie “Barbie”, Wan Chengying also introduced a line of premium Barbie pink alloy products. The use of premium materials perfectly encapsulates the sophisticated allure of high-saturation pink. Currently, many customers from South Korea, as well as the domestic market, have shown tremendous interest in these products.

To Wan Chengying’s astonishment, this summer has witnessed a notable influx of new buyers who are specifically seeking purchases from Yiwugo. These intermediaries, who now handle daily order placements, have become larger in number. Despite of the buyers’ scales, they are highly active—a trend that was unseen in past years.

Allergy-Free Earrings: A Global Craze

Chen Xiyue, the owner of Jenny Jewelry, has a rather distinct experience. Quite a few overseas customers reached out to her via video calls through Yiwugo to confirm her store details before making online orders. An African customer from Botswana placed an initial order worth several thousand yuan through Yiwugo. This buyer has since placed two more repeat orders, each amounting to tens of thousands of yuan. Currently, they have fostered a strong partnership with a deepened sense of trust.

A diverse array of hypoallergenic earrings, crafted by Jenny Jewelry, caters to a broad age spectrum. Since their debut two years ago, these earrings have achieved impressive success, evolving from online popularity to offline demand. They have garnered significant acclaim and are sought-after by customers from both home and abroad. These earrings have successfully secured shelf space in supermarkets across various countries and regions, including South America and Dubai, where they maintain robust and consistent sales.
