BC Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General
Opioid pill press registry for the BC Ministry of Public Safety & Solicitor General
Problem

Criminals are accessing pill press equipment to produce illicit opioid drugs.

Solution

Quartech was ask to design and build a Pill Press Registry to maintain an inventory of controlled equipment in accordance with the BC Government’s Pill Press and Related Equipment Control Act. The Act is designed to address BC’s unique position in the nationwide opioid crisis by disrupting criminal access to equipment used to make tablets and capsules. Legitimate manufacturers access the solution through a secure portal, and an advanced case management solution tracks the registration, allocation and disposal of equipment.
