Today most consumer products have barcodes or identifiers at an item SKU level, manufacturing batch level and pallet level which allow them to be identified and tracked through the supply chain. These are tied to an ERP system from the product manufacturers end, distributors systems separately and POS systems used by retailers and the visibility is often restricted to the scope of these systems. However, serialization of primary packaging at an individual item level or serial instance level is what will drive the next level of digital transformation for businesses and result in smarter supply chains & greater trust in products too.
