Wherever you are in the supply chain, the strict new Tobacco Products Directive is coming into force – and compliance means transforming the way you track and trace products.

### Tobacco Supply Chain Challenges

### Tobacco Manufacturing

- Requesting unique IDs to be assigned during production
- Adding 2D dot-codes to your products
- Track and report product movement at a packet level

### Wholesale and Cash & Carry

- Tracking packet IDs from the pallet to dispatch
- Tracking and reporting on returns
- Reporting on product dispatch including where it has shipped to

### Tobacco Distribution

- Scanning and reporting on incoming products
- Maintaining unique IDs as pallets are unpacked, mixed and merged
- Tracking logistics stages like moving packets to different vehicles

### Mobile Sales and Merchandising

- Reporting on the point of sale for each pack
- Aggregating mobile sales data into the database
