The Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City hopes to receive comments and suggestions from scientists and businesses to develop the most suitable information management system for tracing the origin of products and goods in Ho Chi Minh City.

On August 31, the Department of Science and Technology (KH-CN) of Ho Chi Minh City organized an August creative connection event with the theme "Solutions to build and develop a product traceability system", to order and select a unit to build and operate a product and goods traceability information management system in Ho Chi Minh City; improve the efficiency of management and control of product and goods quality.

According to the representative of the Department of Science and Technology of Ho Chi Minh City, traceability has become an indispensable part of supply chains to ensure transparency and safety of products. In addition, traceability of products also helps increase the reputation of businesses and create trust for consumers. Currently in Vietnam, traceability of products is being applied nationwide.

Mr. Dao Ha Trung, Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City High Technology Association, shared about the task of building a traceability system.

However, the collection, storage, connection and sharing of data have not met the city's requirements, the data have not been managed by state management agencies, and have not been linked to the National Origin Traceability Portal. Therefore, the Department of Science and Technology organized an event to order units to build products to trace the origin of goods, to support businesses in the production, business and circulation of goods.

In particular, the solutions need to comply with and meet national standards on traceability and related legal regulations. Along with that, it is necessary to apply new, advanced technologies that are suitable for domestic and international trends such as: Blockchain, Al, IoT, Big data... Information is declared in real time, ensuring confidentiality, data safety and the traceability information cannot be changed; at the same time, it is possible to upgrade, flexibly integrate, and connect information with the traceability systems of enterprises, connecting to the National Traceability Information Portal. The interface is friendly and easy to use so that users can easily manipulate and enter data; there is a warning function for cases where products do not ensure quality or food safety; traceability data is owned, managed and stored in the city.
