Securing the Alcohol Supply Chain: Managing SKU and Tax Class Complexity
Deterministic controls for diverse packaging formats and complex excise reconciliation.
Deterministic controls for diverse packaging formats and complex excise reconciliation.
The alcohol industry presents unique challenges, from packaging variability to complex tax class structures. Managing these variables requires a flexible yet rigid data model that can track state changes—from Generated to Printed, Activated, and finally Retired. The Sovereign Data Vault (SDV) provides native support for EPCIS 2.0 standards, allowing for seamless 1:1 reconciliation of production orders to activation files.
This prevents the leakage associated with diverse SKUs and ensures that authorities have a clinical view of the entire distribution network.
