Traceability implementation supports product authentication by the trading partners and consumers and discourages the influx of substandard and fake products into the legitimate supply chain and optimizes inventory management and supply chain efficiency. Supply chain visibility provides real time demand data about the movement and status of goods in the physical world for market analytics, forecasting and production planning.

The Program is designed to validate that an EPCIS event file follows the format and structure defined in the GS1 Traceability Implementation Guidelines to support interoperable EPCIS baseline functionality for the purposes of serialized item data exchanges. It is designed for the sender of EPCIS events (whether the company\themselves, or a solution provider on their behalf), also known as “EPCIS event generators.” (Note: the program is not designed for receivers of events.)
