What is a Product?

Understand what a product is and how it's used in traceability

Updated over 3 weeks ago

A product in OriginsNext refers to both uniquely identifiable and bulk products that move through your supply chain. In many industries, products are also referred to as inventory, materials, animals and/or goods.

Why are Products important?

Each product instance has a unique identification code (e.g. a serial number, batch ID, or QR code) that distinguishes it from similar items. This allows for:

  • Item-level traceability

  • Visibility of product journey and custody

  • Accurate reporting, compliance, and certification tracking

Products in OriginsNext are central to enabling event traceability, data capture, and shared evidence across multiple stakeholders.
