In this context, ensuring control of every movement is essential to maintain operational efficiency, customer confidence and business profitability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>product traceability<\/strong> allows you to track its journey from origin to final delivery, providing <strong>control, transparency and efficiency<\/strong> in each phase.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is product traceability?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>product traceability<\/strong> is the ability to <strong>tracking and documenting every stage of their journey<\/strong>from manufacture or storage to delivery to the end customer. It is a key process to guarantee the quality, control and transparency of logistics operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is often confused with simply tracking a shipment, but traceability goes beyond that. <strong>record and relate all information<\/strong> of the product, the movements made and the actors involved in its transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Internal traceability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It applies <strong>within the warehouse or logistics plant<\/strong>recording the entry, location, handling and exit of each batch or unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>External traceability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Controls the <strong>product flow during transport and distribution<\/strong>The new system allows you to know at all times where a consignment is and under what conditions it is moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Full logistics traceability<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It integrates internal and external traceability, creating a <strong>continuous information chain<\/strong> from the supplier to the end customer.

These records allow us to know their status and exact location within the logistics centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Monitoring in transport and distribution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During transport, the monitoring systems record <strong>dates, routes, carriers and partial or final deliveries<\/strong>ensuring real-time traceability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Communication and digital systems<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The systems <strong>ERP, WMS or integration APIs<\/strong> allow all information to flow between warehouse, carriers and eCommerce.
