In today’s complex supply chain landscape, it is more important than ever for companies to implement end-to-end traceability processes. The ability to track individual items throughout the supply chain not only ensures product quality and safety, but also provides valuable insights for optimization and risk management. When it comes to traceability, Epicor P21 is a leading solution offering a comprehensive approach to managing the entire supply chain process.

Epicor P21 is an integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution designed specifically for the wholesale industry. It offers a range of modules covering a wide range of business operations, including inventory management, order fulfillment, finance, and supply chain management. At the heart of the Epicor P21 solution is traceability, which enables full visibility and control of the supply chain process.

How exactly does Epicor P21 handle traceability? Let’s take a closer look.

Lot and Serial Number Tracking: One of the most important features of the Epicor P21 is the ability to track items by lot or serial number. This means that each item has a unique identifier that remains with it throughout the supply chain process. This enables companies to track the origin, movement, and destination of individual products, providing a complete audit trail for each product.

Expiration Date Management: In industries that deal with perishable products or goods with a limited shelf life, expiration date management is crucial. Epicor P21 enables expiration date management, allowing companies to easily identify and recall products that are close to expiration. This helps eliminate waste and ensures that customers receive only the freshest products.

Supplier Management: Epicor P21 also streamlines the supplier management process by making detailed information about all suppliers available in the system. This includes their contact details, certificates, and documentation. This allows companies to trace products back to their original suppliers and more easily resolve quality issues or product recalls.

Seamless Integration: One of the key benefits of Epicor P21 is its ability to integrate with other systems and processes. This enables seamless data exchange between departments and supply chain partners, ensuring everyone has access to accurate and up-to-date information.

Real-time Tracking and Reporting: The tracking feature in Epicor P21 allows you to track and report in real-time all inventory movements from product receipt to destination. This allows companies to quickly identify issues such as delivery delays or quality issues and take immediate action to resolve them.
