DawaTrack Traceability
Batch and unit records, end to end
Every movement recorded:
Receipts, dispenses, shipments, transfers, write-offs and returns each write one event. Each event links to the one before it, so a batch can be followed hop by hop.
Wholesale resale followed:
When a facility resells stock to another DawaTrack facility, the batch's record continues at the buyer. A recall reaches the buyer too.
Stock checked nightly:
Each night DawaTrack compares stock on hand with its movement history and ledger events. A difference raises an alert for the facility's admins.
Amoxicillin 500 mg capsules
Batch BTH-2026-041 · exp. 30 Nov 2027 · GTIN 06164004321562
Traced to the patient
Pharmacy E scans 2 units out to a patient, whose phone stays at the pharmacy. From that dispense, the path back to the manufacturer is on record.
Ledger
10 of 10 events
Example data. Each event names the event before it, so the whole path can be followed from any point.
DawaTrack At the facility
Receive and dispense, free
A pharmacy, clinic or hospital does two things in DawaTrack: it receives stock and it dispenses it. Each writes to the same record as its suppliers.
- Receiving by scanning: against the shipment of a supplier on DawaTrack, or from a supplier outside it, named.
- Dispensing by scanning each pack out, its batch recorded, with a controlled-drugs register.
- Recalls that reach the batches you hold and put them in quarantine.
- Returns and transfers shipped by scanning, to a supplier or another branch.

One record, used by each part of the medicine supply chain
From 1 January 2027, imported medicines must carry a GS1 DataMatrix under the Pharmacy and Poisons Board traceability standard.
DawaTrack reads DataMatrix scans today, when stock is received, dispensed, returned and shipped. Batch-level and unit-level records build up as you trade.

DawaTrack Today
What works today, and what does not yet
Works today
- Facilities receive, dispense, return and ship stock by scanning GS1 DataMatrix codes, free.
- Shipments are confirmed by the receiver: on DawaTrack, or through a one-time link for a receiver outside it.
- Batch trace across the facilities, suppliers and partners on DawaTrack, exported as GS1 EPCIS 2.0.
- Recalls quarantine the batch at DawaTrack facilities and email the parties outside DawaTrack that received it.
- National report: a supplier downloads its events as one EPCIS 2.0 file.
- Partner API with a sandbox, for manufacturers' and distributors' own systems.
Not yet
- No live regulator link. DawaTrack does not currently submit data to a live PPB system. The specification for the National Authentication and Traceability System (NATS) is not yet public; when it is published, DawaTrack will map its EPCIS output to it. The national report file is sent by the supplier.
- SAP Business One connector: built against SAP's published Service Layer documentation, not yet run against a live SAP system. There are no connectors for other ERPs; they connect through the Partner API.
- Not a till or accounts system. Sales, invoices, payments and accounting stay in your own system. No eTIMS invoicing, no insurance claims.
- No offline mode. Scanning needs an internet connection.
- Only what is recorded. The records cover the trading partners on DawaTrack, not the whole market.
