Overview
Objective
To implement a Stock Traceability Function to enhance the tracking of inventory throughout the
delivery, swap, and repossession lifecycle. The system will maintain real-time updates of stock
status by assigning specific ownership and location tracking for each unit. The tracking process
will include scanning devices via dedicated applications used by different roles.
Scope
The implementation covers:
• Delivery: Ensuring tracking from warehouse to customer via stocking points, drivers, and
field agents.
• Swap: Managing new and old unit tracking during the exchange process.
• Repossession: Tracking movement from customer back to designated locations.
• Role-Based Inventory Access: Restricting inventory visibility based on role and assigned
region.
• Scanning Process: Enabling different roles to scan devices at key transfer points.
