With the development of the 4th Industrial Revolution technologies, the logistics industry is aiming at automation and unmanned processes and has been introduced to emerging technologies for this purpose.
Furthermore, as spreading the non-contact environment after the COVID-19 pandemic, the transition to non-contact services in the logistics industry has been accelerating. In addition, the transaction environment such as unmanned stores and online transactions is diversified, and unmanned transportation means are introduced to last-mile delivery due to the development of the 4th Industrial Revolution technologies, so many changes are appearing from the existing delivery environment in the logistics industry.
Unmanned transportation means, such as robots and drones, have been introduced as a new last-mile delivery method, and operations for unmanned stores have spread. In the existing logistics environment, parcel goods tracking, and status monitoring was based on exchanged data between logistics participants, requirements in the current and future logistics environment may be diversifying as follows;
So, it is necessary to consider how to adapt monitoring and parcel goods tracking approaches from the current logistics environment to the altered logistics environment for a seamless supply chain. Under the present and future supply chain environment, requirements from stakeholders and users are becoming more diverse; monitoring cargo status for fresh foods, agriculture products, etc., monitoring of unmanned stores, checking delivery status between warehouses and stores in the case of Ommi channels, and linkage between autonomous last-mile transport means, etc.
To address these requirements, the project suggests this proposal about efficient seamless traceability in the supply chain that is for parcel goods delivery using both manned and unmanned vehicles and seamless parcel goods tracking to achieve the following objectives.
Diversity: Service framework for seamless traceability that will support flexibility to support various supply chain environments; manned/unmanned stores, manned/unmanned warehouses, transport means for last-mile delivery, autonomous vehicles, mobile depot, etc.
The project scope is to define and create white papers on the best practices in implementing service framework for seamless traceability in last-mile delivery with a view to examining:
New deliverables, that could be considered to support the service framework for seamless traceability-based trade-facilitation-related applications.
Deliverable 1: BRS and eBusiness Standard for Parcel Goods waybil
Deliverable 2: BRS and eBusiness Standard for Parcel Goods delivery receipt
Deliverable 3: Whitepaper on Parcel Goods Traceability in last-mile delivery
Deliv. 1: BRS and eBusiness Standard
Deliv. 2: BRS and eBusiness Standard
Deliv. 3: Draft whitepaper ready for publication
Membership is open to UN/CEFACT experts with broad knowledge in the area related to advanced technologies, supply chain and logistics, such as from supplier and consumer, carrier, warehouses, terminals, etc. In-depth knowledge of UN sustainable development goals.
In addition, Heads of Delegations may invite technical experts from their constituency to participate in the work.
Experts are expected to contribute to the work based solely on their expertise and to comply with the UN/CEFACT Code of Conduct and Ethics and the policy on Intellectual Property Rights

The following contributions are submitted as part of this proposal. It is understood that these contributions are only for consideration by the Project Team and that other participants may submit additional contributions in order to ensure that as much information as possible is obtained from those with expertise and material interest in the project. It is also understood that the Project Team may choose to adopt one or more of these contributions “as is”.
Initial contributions include existing descriptions and technical specifications for the UN/CEFACT:
Participants in the project shall provide resources for their own participation. The existence and functioning of the project shall not require any additional resources from the UNECE secretariat.
