How does traceability work?

Modified on Thu, 22 Aug at 9:55 AM

Traceability involves identification of products, actors and locations, labelling and capturing of data on products, data recording and sharing relevant information with trading partners. The GS1 Global Traceability Standard describes the traceability process from the initial definition of the traceability system that will be used between trading partners, the exchange of product master data before the physical flow, the capturing, recording and sharing of data during the physical flow of goods, to the trace requests for traceability-related information.

What is new is that there are data quality controls between the processes, to ensure that traceability information is correct, complete and accurate before sharing them with the next trading partner.
