From the unique code to the patient: How serialization ensures safe medicines in Spain

In February 2024, five years were completed since the Spanish Medicines Verification System (SEVeM), supported by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices (AEMPS), came into force to safeguard patient safety and health against counterfeit drugs.

📊 The results speak for themselves (source: AESEG, 2025):

  • 7.3 billion codes uploaded
  • 3.2 billion dispensations verified
  • 98% coverage in pharmacies, hospitals, and distributors

Spain has consolidated its position as an European benchmark in pharmaceutical traceability and safety, providing that serialization is not an option but a key element for trust in the supply chain.

But the real question is: how can we ensure that every laboratory, distributor, and hospital not only complies with SEVeM but does so efficiently, at scale, and without operational frictions?

That’s where Ultimate Solutions brings value, with our Serialization Unit, which combines:

  • Proprietary machinery, designed and manufactured under the highest standards, ensuring independence and agility.
  • Integration and validation services, connecting hardware, software, and processes with SEVeM and the European systems.
  • Regulatory and technical support at every stage, ensuring compliance with EMA and FDA.
  • A specialized team, always available to guarantee confidence and continuity throughout the service.

This allows us to help our clients reduce audit times, avoid line stoppages, and ensure traceability without operational overcosts.

In this way, we turn a regulatory requirement into a competitive advantage: safer, more transparent, and more agile operations, with the confidence that every package can be tracked from the plant to the patient.

➡️ At Ultimate Solutions, we have been partnering with the Life Sciences industry for two decades. Today, with the support of our presence in Puerto Rico, the U.S., and Spain, we make serialization much more than a code on the package: the guarantee of a reliable pharmaceutical system.
