Track and trace is a business process that allows stakeholders in the supply chain to track the movement of goods from the point of origin to the point of destination. It involves using a range of technologies and tools to monitor and manage the movement of goods, enabling greater visibility, control, and efficiency.

Here are some key aspects of track and trace:

Bar-coding and labeling: Goods are typically labeled with a unique barcode that allows for tracking and identification. This barcode is scanned at various points in the supply chain, enabling stakeholders to track the movement of goods in real-time.

GPS tracking: GPS tracking is another tool used in track and trace, particularly for high-value goods or those that require special handling. GPS tracking enables stakeholders to monitor the location of goods in real-time and receive alerts if goods deviate from the expected route or experience delays.

Electronic data interchange (EDI): EDI enables stakeholders in the supply chain to exchange data electronically, enabling real-time tracking and monitoring of the movement of goods. This can help to improve communication, reduce errors, and improve operational efficiency.
