Product Genealogy and Traceability Software

Capture every material, action, and change across the product lifecycle

Build a complete digital thread as work happens. Embed data collection and electronic signatures into the process, so the record is always audit-ready and batch release takes minutes.

Why Traceability Matters

Paper records and fragmented data slow down production and increase risk

  • Traceability becomes a reconstruction project before every audit

    When records live on paper travelers or disconnected spreadsheets, demonstrating compliance means spending weeks chasing down signatures and cross-referencing lot numbers. The effort diverts resources from production, and an incomplete record puts the business at risk.

  • Manual data entry creates gaps in the device history record

    Operators writing serial numbers by hand or checking boxes at the end of a shift introduces transcription errors. A missed signature or an illegible lot code turns into a documentation nonconformance that halts the release of an otherwise perfect batch.

  • QA review bottlenecks slow down product release

    If quality teams review every line of every record manually, finished goods sit in quarantine waiting for approval. Capital gets tied up in inventory, and lead times extend because the verification process lags behind the factory floor.

How Tulip builds an unbreakable digital thread from raw material to finished product

Tulip captures genealogy and traceability data automatically at the point of work. The platform connects directly to the scales, scanners, and systems at the station, so material usage, operator actions, and inspection results form a continuous and immutable record.

End-to-End Traceability

Every Record Traces Back to the Same Thread

Part and material providers, operator tasks, ambient conditions, and equipment maintenance history all sit on the same record instead of scattered across separate systems. When a quality issue shows up, investigating it means following one thread back through production.

Material-Level Scanning

The Material Gets Scanned Into the Record

A barcode reader captures material, component, and operator data at each step, so the record builds itself as the work happens instead of getting reconstructed from memory afterward. That connection runs on the same edge hardware that connects any scanner or device that isn't natively networked.

Electronic Signatures and Audit Trail

The Sign-Off Lives Inside the Same Record

Who signed off, and when, on assembly, inspection, or packaging gets captured as part of the same record, with electronic signatures built to meet 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11. That record stays auditable for the batch or the individual product.

Genealogy Reaches Back to Design and Spec

Genealogy doesn't stop at the production record. It connects back to PLM for design and spec changes, and syncs with ERP so materials, orders, and batches stay tied together end to end, instead of living in three systems that each know part of the story.

Governed Change Control

Lock Down a Process Only Where It Matters

Governance features let you remove red tape where a process doesn't need it, and lock it down where it does, so a genealogy workflow can stay flexible in low-risk areas and controlled in the ones that actually carry risk.

How regulated manufacturers achieve continuous compliance with Tulip

See how companies automate data capture, eliminate paper logbooks, and build complete, audit-ready traceability records.

PLM-connected workflows driving AS9100 compliance

Echodyne deployed digital workflows connected to their Arena PLM, ensuring operators always interact with the latest approved engineering instructions. By centralizing their documentation into a digital execution layer, they created a robust, auditable foundation for their AS9100 quality journey.

"Everyone says single source of truth, but it’s really just that single source of truth for engineering, for documentation, for eDHR — a clear single source of truth for manufacturing execution."
