According to Patrik Sjöberg, director of product management at Lawson, food companies and consumers alike are much more aware of product safety issues today, driving greater need for traceability and product safety capabilities in the production and distribution of products.
Goods are moving quickly across borders and through complex supply chains in a globalised world making traceability more challenging. Lawson M3 Graphical Lot Tracker provides enhanced capabilities that can go beyond simple tracking and tracing, ultimately helping their customers focus on product quality and brand protection.
