INSAP TraceChain vs TraceLink Track and Trace

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.
