Are you asking about track and trace? If so, I haven't seen anyone successfully do this at scale. The industries I have been a part of didn't have a big focus on it; perhaps someone in food or pharmaceuticals would have a perspective on how they track batches and lots based on regulatory compliance.

Thanks Tommy. Yes it is about track and trace and if anyone here who is from Food or Pharmaceutical company can help in understanding how they track their batches specifically to complex geographical areas e.g limited infrastructures , security issues etc I will highly appreciate.

Good question.

When it comes to package delivery, I think it would be hard for any company to beat the largest and most cost effective system and logistics network such as USPS, the US post office.

It can track and trace close to real-time. The best part is that those data is readily available.

I have seen some organizations take advantage of this system, use this mail service (including Amazon, UPS, other online e-Commerce stores), integrated into their track and trace system and sharing real-time update with their users and clients.

When it comes to track and trace in truck load or LTL deliveries, there are some systems and service (software and hardware) companies provide these solutions. It has been here for a while and it is scalable.

If companies do not have enough manpower in this area. There are some companies provide a skilled team to implement solutions that your company is looking to operate/customize specifically to fit your company's needs to serve your clients. Whatever that might be.

Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please let me know. Good luck with your project.
