Who are you on the TraceLink Network?
Getting access to the TraceLink Network looks a little different depending on your company's role within it. Your company either uses a TraceLink app licensed by one of your company's trade partners or licenses a TraceLink app themselves.
Already know who you are? Jump to the next steps.
You can use a couple of different clues to find out which role your company plays in its collaboration:
- Were you told by one of your trade partners to use TraceLink to communicate with them? Your company is likely a TraceLink Partner, which means you are a part of the TraceLink Network but don't license any apps.
- Were you told your company purchased a new app to solve a business need, and now you need to start using it? Your company is likely a TraceLink Owner, which means you license apps from TraceLink. Even if you also use a TraceLink app licensed by one of your trader partners, you need to set up your account as an Owner.
For example, you might work for a Pharmacy or Hospital that purchases product from a Wholesale Distributor and you both need to be compliant with the US Drug Supply Chain and Security Act. The Wholesale Distributor has informed you that they will be using TraceLink to communicate their shipment information. This means that you will need to use TraceLink as well, to retrieve compliance documents. In this situation, your Pharmacy is a TraceLink Partner and the Wholesale Distributor is the TraceLink Owner.
If neither of these scenarios sounds like you, but you want to learn more, contact us.

Within 5 business days, our dedicated Network Success team will connect with your company's TraceLink contact and grant them the power to manage users, networks, and more to onboard your entire company. If it's been more than 5 business days since you filled out the form, contact the Network Success team by emailing verification@tracelink.com.
If other people at your company already use TraceLink, contact the person at your company assigned the System Administrator role, who can get you set up as a user. -
