Modern traceability systems offer a proactive defense from the impact of product recalls.
They track every component, ingredient, and process step from raw material to finished product, but they don’t replace your ERP. Instead, they layer on top, extending your system’s capabilities with the detailed, real-time visibility needed to prevent recalls before they happen.
When a recall situation arises, this system allows you to immediately pinpoint:
- The exact source of the issue—down to the supplier, lot number, or equipment line
- Which batches are affected—with full genealogy from input to finished product
- Where those products were sent—by location, customer, or distributor
- What’s unaffected—so you avoid pulling safe products unnecessarily
- Who needs to be notified—internally and externally
