Complete supply chain traceability

Gain end-to-end visibility across your operations with traceability software built for manufacturers.

What is traceability in manufacturing?

Traceability in manufacturing enables you to track materials and products through every stage—from raw inputs to final delivery. With SYSPRO ERP, you gain full supply chain traceability, empowering you to ensure compliance, improve quality, and act fast when issues arise.

Why supply chain traceability matters

Enable quick recalls, meet regulatory demands and strengthen customer trust by documenting the origin and handling of every product.

How SYSPRO enables end-to-end traceability

SYSPRO ERP tracks every material and transaction. With real-time data updates, linked lot numbers, and centralized records provide one source of truth. You can trace backward or forward across your supply chain with total confidence.

One system with full visibility

All departments feed traceability data into a centralized ERP system, tracking every product from supplier to customer with complete transaction history.

Linking materials to finished goods

Connect raw materials to finished goods for bidirectional tracing—backward from issues to sources, or forward from suspect inputs to affected goods.

Real-time updates

SYSPRO captures traceability events in real time through barcode scans, giving managers instant visibility into a product's entire journey for rapid, informed decision-making.

Actionable intelligence

Built-in recall, quarantine, and quality control tools turn insights into action. SYSPRO isolates defects, automates holds, and notifies stakeholders to solve problems before they escalate.

Lot & batch traceability software

Easily trace batches from suppliers to customers. Attach certificates, automate inspections, and prevent use of expired or non-compliant inventory—all within one system.

Powerful lot query & reporting

Quickly trace lot history and movement with advanced queries.

Shelf-life and expiry date management

Automatically track shelf-life and expiry dates for compliance.

Quality control linkages

Link quality checks to lots for consistent standards and traceability.

Serial number tracking

Track individual items with serial numbers for accurate traceability.

Barcode and RFID integration

Enhance tracking with barcode and RFID for speed and accuracy.

Engineering change control

Enable compliance by providing detailed audit ECC reports, audit trails and easily extracted mock recall reports for auditors.

FAQ's

How to manage product recalls with ERP?

An ERP system centrally manages all manufacturing data by assigning unique lot or serial numbers to materials and products at every stage, automatically capturing data as items move. Trace products both backward (to raw materials, suppliers, production processes, and quality checks) and forward (to finished goods, customers, and distribution).

How can manufacturers achieve regulatory compliance with traceability?

Manufacturers should aim for  certifications (e.g., ISO 9001/22000, GMP, FSSC) with traceable lot data, secure audit trails, and mock recall capabilities. Maintain audit readiness by retrieving any record in seconds and demonstrating end-to-end process control to auditors.

What is the ROI of implementing an end-to-end traceability system?

Manufacturers can absolutely get a significant ROI from implementing an end-to-end traceability system through their ERP.

The ROI comes from:

  • Reduced Costs: Minimizes recalls, waste, and manual processes while optimizing inventory.
  • Increased Efficiency: Streamlines quality control and accelerates issue resolution.
  • Risk Mitigation: Avoids fines, brand damage, and production downtime.
  • Enhanced Revenue/Reputation: Builds trust through compliance and ethical practices. 
What technologies enable product traceability (RFID, barcodes, IoT)?

Here are four key technologies enabling modern supply chain tracking and transparency:

  • Barcodes: Cost-effective visual codes for unique product identification requiring line-of-sight scanning.
  • RFID: Radio-based tags enabling wireless, multi-item scanning with greater data storage capacity.
  • Blockchain: Secure, tamper-proof digital ledger providing transparent transaction records across supply chains.
  • IoT Sensors: Embedded devices tracking real-time conditions like temperature, location, and movement throughout product journey.
