Description
TraceLink’s Digital Recalls application is being developed streamline and improve the product recalls process by creating a closed-loop digital recalls network that enables centralized digital recall management of product recalls for manufacturers, distributors, retailers and other supply chain endpoints, reverse logistics providers, and other entities in the supply chain.
Benefits

The current recalls process for supply chain stakeholders is manual, time-consuming, error-prone, and reliant upon paper-based communications and tracking. This means recalled products remain in the supply chain due to inefficient practices, putting consumers at risk. TraceLink Digital Recalls enhances your insights into the recalls process, increases recall efficiency, and enhances patient safety by helping remove recalled products faster and more completely.
