Overview

In BarTender Track & Trace, your supply chain is modeled using locations, which represent the physical facilities where inventory is stored. Each location is associated with a site map, which is further divided into zones. Zones are functional subdivisions of a location. This hierarchical structure enables precise inventory tracking, allowing you to identify not only the facility where an item is stored, but also its exact position within that facility.
