PERFORMANCE

Inventory Tracking and Reusable Packaging

Real-time visibility on your supply chain inventory flow and levels allows you to improve forecasting and be more agile with your inventory. Track your reusable packaging from manufacturing sites to the end user and back, to optimize returns and its life cycle.

Product Authentication

Authenticate your products with innovative artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to combat market diversion and fraudulent supply chain events. Our new cutting-edge technology can recognize a product’s unique packaging pattern.

SUSTAINABILITY

Responsible Sourcing

Engage with smallholders and supply chain participants to get environmental and sociodemographic analytics at the source.

Carbon Tracking

Track your organisational and supply chain GHG emissions with Scope 1-2-3 tracking, product-level emissions data, and accelerate your decarbonization efforts.

WHAT TRACEABILITY DATA CAN OPTEL CAPTURES?

Trading partners have workflows in place to store information related to each transaction, which can be used to track products. Each supply chain stakeholder is responsible for collecting data received from an upstream supplier and sharing it with the appropriate downstream supplier.
In accordance with GS1 standards, trading partners need to maintain records containing Key Data Elements (KDEs), which need to answer the five Ws (Who, What, Where, When and Why) of Critical Tracking Events (CTEs), such as reception, transformation, packing, shipping and transportation. OPTEL’s Optchain platform integrates data from supply chain events based on these standards. This data is then shared with partners through EPCIS files, which enable your products to be tracked and traced throughout their journey along the supply chain.
