INSAP TraceChain vs ProLinc

INSAP TraceChain provides serialization and supply-chain tracking from production to point of sale, with recall readiness and authenticity checks. It assigns batch-, lot-, or unit-level identities at production and links movement events into product genealogy across plants, depots, distributors, and shelves. The system can read production and movement events from SAP PP/MM and depot systems; recall actions return as governed transactions. The maker says genealogy can identify affected units and destinations in minutes, with expiry visibility. Field teams and consumers can scan against the genuine record, while duplicate and out-of-territory scans are flagged. Coding accommodates GS1 and customer-specific formats. Events are append-only; corrections become new attributed events rather than edits. Public scans reveal only details the customer chooses to publish, typically authenticity, batch, and expiry. Traceability extends only to the last point that scans. Existing printing and scanning points are usually used, though some levels of serialization may require new hardware. Data is stored in a region chosen by the customer. Pricing is on request and based on serialized volume and the lines and nodes in scope, determined after serialization design.

ProLinc is Ashton Potter’s product security and traceability software for manufacturers managing complex production, compliance, recall, and supply-chain requirements. It assigns serialized identities and records authentication, lot and batch activity, supply-chain events, and product components. A scan can reveal a product’s digital genealogy down to an individual component. The system processes high-volume data in real time, monitors facility- and item-specific production information, and can alert users when deviations occur. Centralized reporting, smart aggregation, and track-and-trace insights support production oversight. ProLinc uses a blockchain-enabled database to keep tamper-evident records available remotely, and its product page says it can scale to billions of products and records across facilities. An onsite server option is listed. ProLinc integrates with existing ERP and factory systems, including Oracle and SAP environments.
