A modular, scalable solution

The need for serialized product tracking may differ from one company to another.

That’s why we will always begin by evaluating your existing processes. We work with your teams to look at your requirements and then agree the appropriate level of serialisation, aggregation and de-aggregation needed. You can start small and add additional functionality later on.

A foundation for full supply chain visibility

Tobacco serialisation allows you to build the parent-child relationships as goods move through the supply chain.

At each packaging stage information is collected, parent codes are assigned and data is recorded. By capturing relevant data and sharing them with relevant stakeholders within your connected supply chain, you will be able to:

  • Reduce risk as you will be able to react instantly
  • Control product provenance from internal and external suppliers
  • Protect your supply chain from production through to point of sale
  • Control distribution channels by fighting parallel and grey markets
  • Manage product recalls efficiently
