Issue a unique identity
Managed serial number pools assign each item, case and pallet its own number — no duplicates, no gaps, across sites.
Track & Trace
Every item accounted for, backwards and forwards.
Serial numbers, batch identifiers and the scans that prove where each one went.
Traceability is two halves that have to match: a unique identity applied at production, and a scan that reads it back reliably at every handover. TEC-IT does both — the serialised label and the validated capture — so the audit trail closes.
Traceability fails at the handovers, not in the database.
Connect printed identifiers with the records captured at each handover.
The ERP can hold a perfect genealogy and still be wrong, because the serial number was hand-keyed at goods-in, or the batch label was reprinted without a new serial, or the scanner sent a code the system quietly accepted in the wrong format. TEC-IT closes both ends: managed serial number pools that cannot issue a duplicate, and capture that validates the scan against the expected format before it reaches your system.
Apply it in a readable carrier
GS1-128, Data Matrix or QR carrying GTIN, batch, expiry and serial in the structure your partners expect.
Read it back and validate
Scans are checked against format and standard at capture, so bad data never reaches the ERP.

Frequently asked questions
Learn more about Track & Trace and Serialization.
What is the difference between a batch code and a serial number?
A batch or lot code identifies a production run, so thousands of items can share one. A serial number identifies a single item uniquely. Batch-level traceability answers "which run was this from"; item-level serialization answers "where did this exact unit go", which is what regulated pharmaceutical and high-value goods workflows require.
How do you stop two sites printing the same serial number?
By issuing numbers from a managed pool rather than from a counter on each machine. TFORMer manages serial number pools centrally, so a number is allocated once and cannot be reissued — the failure mode you are trying to avoid is two pallets in the same shipment carrying the same SSCC.
What is aggregation, and why does it break?
Aggregation is the parent-child relationship between an item, the case holding it and the pallet holding the case. It breaks when the link is recorded away from where it physically happens — a case repacked after scanning, or a pallet built and then keyed in later. Capturing the relationship at the moment it is made is what keeps the hierarchy true.
Do we need a full track-and-trace platform to start?
Not necessarily. Traceability fails most often at the two ends — a serial that was never uniquely issued, and a scan that was mistyped or accepted in the wrong format. Fixing those with serialised printing and validated capture into your existing ERP or WMS closes most of the gap without a platform migration.
