SAP Corporate Serialization (SAP CorS)

Challenges of Supply Chain

Full end-to-end supply chain visibility with insight is critical for a transparent, flexible and resilient supply chain to meet the challenges of a dynamic global economy. An integrated approach enables access to the data that provides the foundation for a holistic view of your supply chain through the product lifecycle. With Track & Trace processes and technology, you can connect to the real-time intelligence required for key decision making.

As a manufacturer, inefficient recall and warranty management can be a challenge in your daily business. If not managed properly a slow reaction time can lead to revenue and reputation loss. By tracking your products at item-level you can not only get visibility about their movement through the supply chain but also allow better decision-making. You can give consumers the opportunity to trace their product to the origin and ensure product authenticity while eliminating counterfeiting.
