Abstract

A method of manufacturing a product and simultaneously keeping a record of custody and/or location of the product is provided. The method provides a means for users to log details of product movements and process conditions to a central database such that the data is accessible further down the supply chain. This allows manufacturers to have instant access to information concerning the production of the starting materials or components that they purchase which can have many beneficial effects. The method is particularly applicable to the phyto-product industry. The invention also provides a system, preferably computer based, for recording data about the history of a product in which changes in location or custodian of a product can be logged to a central database such that an unbroken record of custody and location is provided for the product.
