2023. gada beigās Somijas Zāļu verifikācijas organizācija (FiMVO) nomainīja zāļu verifikācijas sistēmas (FiMVS) piegādātāju. Piegādātājs tika nomainīts no Arvato uz Solidsoft Reply (SSR). Šī pārmaiņa bija pirmais šāda veida gadījums Eiropas Zāļu verifikācijas sistēmas (EMVS) ekosistēmā. Tā iezīmēja nozīmīgu brīdi FiMVO misijā nodrošināt farmaceitiskās piegādes ķēdes integritāti un drošību Somijā.
