Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that may include recording the commodity, whether in a container or not and optionally placing a readable label on such container, at a first location. The method may include storing recorded data having identifying parameters. Further still, the method may include moving the commodity to another location. Yet further, the method may include iterating, optionally, recording, optionally labeling, and storing additional recorded data having identifying parameters, wherein the recorded data having identifying parameters differs at each location as compared to any prior location where there is recorded data because a portion or the entirety of the recorded data that constitutes “stored data” may be accessed in order to generate and display a report that evidences the tracking of the commodity, regardless whether the tracking is for a process, shipment, transaction, or combination thereof for the commodity undergoing tracked movement.
