Another approach is to report the arrival or departure of the object and recording the identification of the object, the location where [[observed]], the time, and the status. This approach leaves the task to verify the reports regarding [[consistency]] and completeness. An example of this [[method]] might be the package tracking provided by shippers, such as Deutsche Post, United Parcel Service, AirRoad, or FedEx.

The international [[standards]] organization [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPCglobal EPCglobal] under [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GS1 GS1] has ratified the EPC network standards (esp. the EPC information services [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPCIS EPCIS] standard) which codify the syntax and [[semantics]] for supply chain [[events]] and the secure method for selectively [[sharing]] supply chain events with trading [[partners]]. These standards for Tracking and Tracing have been used in successful deployments in many industries and there are now a wide range of products that are certified as being compatible with these standards.

In response to a growing number of recall incidents (food, pharmaceutical, toys, etc.), a wave of software, hardware, consulting and systems vendors have emerged over the last few years to offer a range of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traceability traceability solutions] and tools for industry. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFID Radio-frequency identification] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode barcodes] are two common [[technology]] methods used to deliver traceability.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homing_device]
