TraceIt

Zetech University, Kenya

Inspiration

We built TraceIt because we refused to let the future stay in the movies

What it does

TraceIt assigns a unique, verifiable digital identity to every product at the moment it’s made. It captures origin, batch data, certifications, and quality records, then links them to the physical item through QR, RFID, or NFC. Acting as a digital passport, TraceIt enables instant authentication, seamless traceability, and trusted transparency across the entire supply chain.

How we built it

We built TraceIt using the Ash Framework on Elixir for its core logic, combining powerful domain modeling with custom integrations into one unified system. The result is an intelligent platform that understands product data, responds in real time, and takes action across the supply chain with precision and reliability.

Challenges we ran into

The biggets challenges were turning imagination into code, making the system truly robust and overcoming the limits of technology

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’ve established the core architecture of TraceIt and deployed secure, cryptographically verifiable digital IDs for products at the source. This foundation enables scalable identity management, real-time verification, and end-to-end transparency across the supply chain.

What we learned

We've learned that with vision,persistence and curiosity, even the impossible becomes possible

What's next for TraceIt

TraceIt will evolve into an enterprise-grade product identity infrastructure, seamlessly integrating manufacturers, regulators, and consumers into one trusted verification network.
