ezTRACK
In a rapidly changing global business landscape where time-to-market is becoming increasingly critical to survival, real-time information visibility across worldwide supply chains is now an essential ingredient to business success.
Supply Chain Visibility means knowing:
- Where things are now?
- Why they are there?
- Where they were before?
- How many production days can be done with raw materials on hand?
- Do inventory levels reflect the total of what’s in the back room?
- Plus what’s in the distribution centre?
- Plus what’s in transit?
In short, supply chain visibility translates directly into business value!
GS1 System of Standards provides a means for structuring and sharing visibility information. GS1 Hong Kong, building on the success of the HKSAR government-funded EPC network Project, has developed ezTRACK - a service that addresses today's companies’ critical need for a highly reliable solution that can effectively track and trace the flow of goods and product information from point of manufacture to point of sale through a robust Electronic Product Code (EPC) standard-based platform.
