# Barcode & Traceability Software in Oxfordshire > Barcode & Traceability Software built and supported in the UK, serving Oxfordshire including Oxford, Banbury and Bicester. Configured around how you actually work, not the other way round. **URL:** https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/barcode-traceability-software/oxfordshire Across Oxfordshire we see the same problem in different clothes: information that exists, but not in one place, and not in a form anyone can act on. Barcode & Traceability Software is how you stop paying for that twice. ## Details - **Solution:** Barcode & Traceability Software - **Group:** Inventory & supply - **Platform:** CubeERP (https://cubeerp.co.uk/platform) - **Location:** Oxfordshire - **Distance from our Olney office:** 37 miles - well within our regular travel radius from Olney - **Postcode districts:** OX - **Also known as:** Batch traceability software, Serial number tracking software, Lot tracking software, Barcode software, Product traceability system ## Coverage Our Oxfordshire coverage includes Oxford, Banbury, Bicester, Witney, Abingdon and Didcot, and the OX postcode districts. If you are in Oxfordshire and not on that list, we almost certainly still cover you, so ask. ## What is included - **Capture by scan:** Batch, lot and serial numbers scanned at receipt, issue, production, transfer and despatch - captured because the job was done, not because somebody remembered to log it. - **Genealogy both ways:** Forward from a raw material batch to every customer who received it, and backward from a serial number to every component, operator and operation that made it. - **Certificates attached:** Mill certificates, test reports, conformity declarations and inspection results held against the batch and reissued with the despatch paperwork automatically. - **Shelf life and FEFO:** Expiry dates, best-before dates and quarantine periods enforced at picking, with first-expired-first-out picking where shelf life matters. - **Quality gates:** Goods-in inspection, quarantine locations, concessions and non-conformance reports, so material that has not been passed cannot quietly be picked. - **Recall in minutes:** A recall simulation you can run at any time as evidence for an audit - and, on the day it matters, an answer produced while the meeting is still happening. ## Real-world use cases ### A recall drill that took two days **Scenario:** A food manufacturer’s mock recall required cross-referencing paper goods-in records, production sheets and despatch notes. It passed, eventually, but the audit noted the time taken. **Outcome:** Genealogy is now a query. The next mock recall produced a complete customer list in under ten minutes, with the certificates attached. ### Certificates in a filing cabinet **Scenario:** A stockholder issued material certificates by finding the original, photocopying it and posting it. Requests took days, and a lost certificate meant the material could not be sold at full value. **Outcome:** Certificates are scanned once at goods-in against the batch and reissued automatically with despatch paperwork. The filing cabinet is a backup rather than the system. ### Serial numbers written on a whiteboard **Scenario:** An equipment manufacturer recorded finished serial numbers manually and matched them to customers in a spreadsheet. Warranty claims frequently could not be verified against the original build. **Outcome:** Serials are allocated at build and linked to the works order, the components and the customer. Warranty validity is now a lookup, and out-of-warranty claims are billable with evidence. ## Figures - **Minutes** From recall question to answer - **Both ways** Forward and backward genealogy - **Attached** Certificates travel with the batch ## Frequently asked questions **Which barcode formats do you support?** Standard 1D symbologies, QR and DataMatrix, plus GS1-128 with application identifiers for batch, expiry and quantity. If a customer mandates a specific label format, it is a template rather than a development project. **Is this enough for BRC, ISO or aerospace audit?** The traceability, quality and audit-trail capability is built for that level of scrutiny. What it cannot do is replace your quality management system - it evidences your process, it does not define it. **Can we trace at pallet as well as item level?** Yes. Licence plate identifiers let a pallet or container be handled in one scan, with the batches and quantities inside it known and traceable individually. **What about labels for our customers’ systems?** Customer-specific label formats, including retail and automotive standards, are configured per customer and printed automatically at despatch. Getting this wrong causes chargebacks, so it is treated as a first-class requirement. **Does it slow the warehouse down?** Scanning is faster than writing a number on a sheet and typing it in later, so no. What it does remove is the option of skipping the record, which is normally where traceability actually breaks. ## Related solutions - **Stock Control Software** - Multi-location stock with bin locations, barcode scanning, batch and serial traceability, and figures that are right first time. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/stock-control-software/oxfordshire - **Warehouse Management Software** - Directed put-away, wave and batch picking, packing, despatch and carrier integration - run from scanners on the warehouse floor. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/warehouse-management-software/oxfordshire - **Manufacturing Software** - Bills of materials, works orders, routings, shop-floor booking and real job costing - for businesses that make things to order. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/manufacturing-software/oxfordshire - **ERP Software** - One system for quotes, orders, stock, production, purchasing and invoicing - built in the UK for growing businesses. https://cubeerp.co.uk/software/erp-software/oxfordshire ## Contact - **Product:** CubeERP - **Trading name of:** Cube Systems Limited (company number 17220899, ICO registration number ZC216972) - **Email:** hello@cubeerp.co.uk - **Sales:** sales@cubeerp.co.uk - **Support:** support@cubeerp.co.uk - **Telephone:** 01234 672 617 (+441234672617) - **Address:** Unit 11, Olney Business Park, Osier Way, Olney, Buckinghamshire, MK46 5FP - **Opening hours:** Monday to Friday, 9am to 5.30pm - **Part of:** Crushed Ice Group (https://crushedicegroup.co.uk)
