What traceability means

Supply chain traceability means knowing exactly where every ... at the unit level.

Supply chain traceability means knowing exactly where every individual product unit has been - not just which warehouse a pallet left, but which specific units were scanned in which market, by whom, and when.

ProtectCode achieves this through serialised QR codes applied at manufacture. Each code is unique to a single product unit. Every scan creates a timestamped, geolocated data point. The result is an unbroken chain of custody from production line to consumer.

Applications

Where supply chain traceability
makes the difference.

ProtectCode traceability is used across regulated and premium product
categories where the chain of custody matters commercially, operationally, and legally.

Export market traceability

Know which specific product units are reaching which export markets. Verify genuine distribution and identify diversion before it damages brand or regulatory standing.

Recall and withdrawal precision

Unit-level traceability means a product withdrawal can target specific units or production runs rather than entire product lines. Limits commercial impact and satisfies regulators.

Pharmaceutical chain of custody

DSCSA serialisation requirements met for US pharmaceutical market entry. Chain of custody documentation generated automatically from scan data.

Wine and spirits authentication

Every bottle carries a unique code. Consumer authentication at the point of purchase. Supply chain data from vineyard to shelf.

Consumer engagement at end of chain

Traceability extends to the consumer. The same QR code that tracks the supply chain opens a brand experience at the consumer scan.

Regulatory compliance documentation

Supply chain scan data provides the documentary trail required for EU DPP compliance, DSCSA requirements, and food safety regulatory frameworks.

Common questions answered.

What is end-to-end supply chain traceability?

End-to-end supply chain traceability means tracking a product from manufacture through every stage of the supply chain to the final consumer - with a verifiable, scan-based record at each stage. ProtectCode achieves this at the unit level through serialised QR codes applied at production.

How is supply chain traceability different from logistics tracking?

Logistics tracking follows shipments and pallets. Supply chain traceability follows individual product units. ProtectCode traceability captures every individual unit scan - from the production line through distribution to the consumer - building a complete chain of custody record.

Does ProtectCode traceability work for food products?

Yes. ProtectCode is deployed across food and beverage categories including nutraceuticals, wine, premium packaged foods, and dairy. See the food traceability page for details.

How does ProtectCode support pharmaceutical traceability requirements?

ProtectCode meets DSCSA unit-level serialisation requirements for pharmaceutical products sold into the US market. See the pharmaceutical traceability page for details.
