    Abstract: A computer-implemented system for tracking items in a supply chain. The system may comprise a memory storing instructions and at least one processor configured to execute instructions. Those stored instructions include receiving a first input that an item has entered a first station, the input comprising a first location identifier; assigning an inventory identifier to the item; storing the location identifier and the inventory identifier in a data store, associating the location identifier with the inventory identifier; receiving a second input comprising the inventory identifier and a second location identifier when the item is moved to a new station: storing the new location identifier when the item is moved to a new station; storing the new location identifier such that the new location identifier is associated with the inventory identifier with at least one previous station associated with the inventory identifier; receiving a request for a diagram; generating a diagram tracking the item using at least the inventory identifier and at least one location identifier, wherein the diagram tracks the item from the inbound station to the most recent station; and transmitting the diagram for display.
