Abstract: Herein is disclosed a system and a method for managing asset tracking information related to an asset within a supply chain. The supply chain includes a plurality of supplier entities capable of accessing a centralized asset tracking datastore. The method includes recording information pertaining to an asset provided by an upstream supplier in an independent datastore. The asset is identified with a unique identification code. Next, the recorded information from the upstream supplier entity is associated with the unique identification code. Next, information pertaining to the asset provided by a downstream provider is recorded in the independent datastore. Finally, the recorded information from the downstream supplier entity is associated with the unique identification code.
