Traceability

With a bit of time and energy, it’s possible to gain an overview of your product’s history from your desk. You can call your suppliers, find out where they normally source their raw materials, or whether or not they comply with a particular standard.

But what happens when the questions you need to answer go deeper? When you need to find out about raw materials, but your immediate suppliers handle finished products? When you need to find out whether particular materials have entered your supply chain this week but the best data you have was collected months ago? When you need to know, for certain, that the product you are holding complies with all regulation, product claims and customer expectations?

Only by tracing at batch level can you find the answers to these questions. Supply chains are dynamic; they shift and change in order to remain competitive. Batch level traceability gives you the tools you need to stay up to date with these changes and to understand how they impact on your product - every single batch of it.
