How it works
What one QR code knows
Follow a single box of paracetamol from the plant to a distributor. Every line on the record below was written by a scan.
01 • LABELLED
Born with an ID.
At the plant, each code is tied to a product, a batch, a manufacture date and an expiry date. The code itself is an opaque token—scan it without monitowl and it reveals nothing.

02 • PACKED
Packed, and still traceable.
Cartons hold boxes, boxes hold strips. Every level gets its own code and they stay linked—split a carton and each piece still points back to it.

03 • DISPATCHED
The wrong box doesn't leave.
Dispatch scans check every item against the shipment—wrong SKU, wrong packaging level, quota full, already scanned. Expiry-first picking is checked too.

Arrives counted.
At the destination, receive scans confirm it's the right site, count against what was sent, and flag damage on the spot.

05 • STOCK
Every location, live.
Each scan updates stock at every site—available, reserved, in transit, damaged, expired—as it happens, not at month-end.

06 • ALERTS
Problems show up as alerts, not write-offs.
Recalls, quarantines, stock mismatches and cycle-count gaps reach the right people the moment they're found.
