1. How Datex Can Solve
Your Supply Chain
Traceability Problems
By Angela Carver

2. Typical Inventory Traceability Needs
• Need fast, accurate product recalls – warehouse operators need to
reduce the cost, time and labor associated to recall activities
• Need to be capable of identifying and tracing products that:
– have been counterfeited
– have been subject to foodborne illnesses
– have safety/bioterrorism concerns
• Need to comply with governmental regulations such as the FDA
FSMA, FDA DSCSA or the EU Bioterrorism Act
Many supply chain operations do not currently have the technical
capabilities to meet these needs and improve inventory traceability.
Datex’s focus is to help businesses optimize inventory track & trace
through a variety of hardware and software solutions.
