Healthcare / Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
Background
Bonbloc’s Onelign product development team builds technology for healthcare and supply-chain workflows. As part of its DSCSA (Drug Supply Chain Security Act) solution, Onelign manages the exchange and processing of EPCIS files between customers, vendors, and trading partners, the file traffic that keeps pharmaceutical products traceable across the supply chain. MFT Gateway has been part of the Onelign DSCSA solution since its inception in 2024.
Challenge
Reliable, secure exchange of DSCSA-related EPCIS files is a core requirement of the Onelign platform. From day one, Onelign needed:
- A mechanism to receive files from vendors and trading partners and make them available for automated downstream processing
- Secure, standards-based AS2 transport, without diverting engineering time into building and maintaining AS2 connectivity in-house
- The ability to keep file processing and validation logic fully owned by the Onelign platform, separate from the transport layer
Solution
Onelign selected MFT Gateway as its file-transfer layer from the start of the DSCSA platform:
- Vendors and trading partners send EPCIS files over AS2 to MFT Gateway
- MFT Gateway handles AS2 communication and transport-level acknowledgment (MDN)
- Onelign’s platform automatically retrieves the delivered files
- Onelign runs the files through its own DSCSA workflows, validation and file-level tracking, without needing to manage the transport layer itself
Deployment
- MFT Gateway has supported the Onelign DSCSA architecture since 2024
- Currently connects multiple trading partners
- Processes several thousand files per month
- File exchange and processing run automated end-to-end, cutting manual intervention
- Onelign retains application-level visibility into file history, processing status, validation outcomes, and alerts
Results
- Compliant, automated EPCIS exchange: DSCSA file flows run without manual intervention, since 2024
- Scaled trading-partner network: multiple vendors and partners connected over a single AS2 gateway
- High-volume throughput: several thousand files processed per month
- Full operational visibility: file history, processing status, validation outcomes, and alerts all available at the application level
- Engineering time reallocated: Onelign’s team focuses on validation and tracking logic instead of building or maintaining AS2 infrastructure
"MFT Gateway has been a reliable part of our Onelign DSCSA platform since its inception. Its secure AS2 connectivity has enabled us to establish and manage file exchanges with our growing network of trading partners efficiently. The solution has also integrated seamlessly with our automated file-processing workflows, providing the reliability and operational visibility we need to support our DSCSA operations at scale."
