Welcome to Bonafi
Bonafi is a secure customer and supplier verification system for the pharmaceutical industry. Our system helps wholesalers, distributors, and manufacturers to manage all their customer and supplier verification needs in one place.
The Bonafi application verifies the status of a supplier’s or customer’s authorization to supply or sell medicinal products for human use. Bonafi produces trustworthy records, which fulfills the pharmaceutical industry’s good distribution practice requirements.
Bonafi streamlines your process
Using the Bonafi system streamlines the compliance process. Today, pharma companies must verify each customer and supplier and then re-verify them at least once per year. That manual process is cumbersome, time-consuming, and expensive. By contrast, Bonafi is fast, efficient, economical, traceable and transparent.
Bonafi analyses a client’s verification requests and then searches and cross-references registries to verify the authorisation status for the customer or supplier in question. Supporting data and documentation are also returned and supplied.
In addition, Bonafi offers both fully-automated and semi-automated verification options for its clients. The results we provide are traceable via a complete audit trail. As a result, Bonafi has improved the verification process and reduced the completion time from months to minutes.
Avoiding Sanctions and Penalties with Bonafi
Penalties
The compliance requirements for the pharmaceutical industry in the European Union (EU) are complex and expensive to meet. The European Commission also acknowledges that the authorisation requirements increase costs for all involved. Bonafi is automating the process, minimizing those costs, and ensuring compliance and a secure supply chain.
EU pharmaceutical law is rapidly developing. The European Commission is recommending to increase the criminal penalties for falsified medicines to at least three years imprisonment, which would meet the threshold for cross-border investigations. Also, authorities are increasingly focused on combatting falsified medicines through prosecutions.
Thus, the stakes could get even higher for industry players as new legal risks emerge. But, with Bonafi by your side, it is easy to stay on top of the changing legal and compliance landscape.
Sanctions & Legal Liability
Sanctions and legal liability are potent weapons in the EU’s regulatory toolbox. While sanctions for non-compliance vary in degree across the EU Member States, there is a general trend towards adopting corporate liability. Bonafi helps its customers follow regulatory requirements so that they can limit their exposure.
Also, for pharmaceutical wholesale distributors, non-compliance with verification requirements can lead to suspended or revoked distribution authorizations, fines, and a damaged reputation. Furthermore, manufacturers are liable for damages as producers.
In today’s social-media fuelled nonstop news cycle, bad news can spread around the world in the time it takes to send a tweet before containing it, or its context understood. Verifying with Bonafi can help your business to avoid these negative consequences, and stay in compliance and in control of your reputation.
Bonafi Enables Your Business
Bonafi takes on the formidable verification tasks required by law so that our customers can get back to business.
Wholesale distributors must name a Responsible Person, whose many important duties include the verification of suppliers and customers according to EU Regulations. Bonafi bases its design and development on feedback from Responsible Persons and Quality Professionals from the pharmaceutical industry.
As a result, Bonafi is able to help our customers’ Responsible Persons to verify faster with repeatable and robust methods.
Good manufacturing practice demands that a computerized process be no riskier than a manual process. Bonafi is less risky than a manual process as we know what information you need and how and where to find it quickly. The World Health Organization (WHO) specifies that record-keeping systems follow data integrity principles.
Bonafi holds and secures your results as unchangeable and trustworthy. Also, it is built on reliable technology and tested & validated to pharma standards.
