Introduction to the quick start guide

The Traceability quick start guide is a practical starting point for anyone wanting to increase traceability measures in their business. Users of the guide can follow a five-step process to help understand their traceability requirements.

The quick start guide will help users consider:

  • how a traceability system may fit into current business practices
  • whether specialised technology is necessary, or if current systems can continue to be used
  • what information a potential traceability service provider requires about their business and services.

Narrator:

Introducing a traceability system to your business can be daunting.

That’s why we’ve created a Quick Start Guide with 5 steps to help you get started.

By following these 5 simple steps you can assess your current practices, identify traceable products, understand how to collect and share data and build a business case for traceability.
