Traceability processes have been applied at increasingly fast pace worldwide in a broad variety of segments, either by imposition of legal provisions or voluntarily by the perception of benefits generated. Amidst these benefits, we highlight:

• Consumer safety – Identification and immediate withdrawal of products under low quality suspicion
• Origin authenticity – Combat counterfeit
• Prevent deviations across supply chain – ensure adequate storage
• Automate processes generating productivity gains – operational flows, logistics visibility, inventory control, etc.
• Sustainability – A better supply chain control allows a reduced environmental impact:
  • Optimized logistics reduces fuel consumption
  • Reduced raw material waste
  • Initiatives for package reverse logistics
  • Loss reduction due to expiry date.
