Deliveries at a standstill: goods are found when every load leaves a trace
Where goods pass
Since Friday, deliveries in Campania have stopped and pickets are at the points where goods pass: port, A1, junctions, depots.

Let's see what makes it possible to know where each load is, when it arrived and what was unloaded.
The short answer
To know where the goods are when the flow slows down, three things are needed:
- Identityevery package and every vehicle uniquely recognisable
- Passagesa record at every gate, depot and unloading point
- Proofshared data that sender and receiver can verify
The short answer
With these three levels, a delivery is reconstructed with facts, without estimates.
Why it is not simple
The obvious answer is to wait for the lorries to start again.
There is more.
Why it is not simple
When deliveries resume in stages, escorted and on different routes, those receiving need to know which loads have already left, which have arrived and what they contain: visibility becomes the way to make good decisions in the days of restart.
Chapter 1 of 4
How do you reconstruct, load by load, where the vehicles were and when they arrived?
The route
A route is reconstructed when every passage leaves a dated mark.
The route
The critical points of the protest are the same ones where a record makes the difference.
The source
According to the news on the hauliers' strike and cross-checks, the pickets were concentrated in the port, at the Caserta north tollbooth of the A1 and at the Nocera junction heading south.
The route
They are nodes where goods traffic must pass. If the load is read at each node, its route becomes a sequence of times and places that anyone can consult.
Note
Reading the load, not just the vehicle: a lorry can carry dozens of packages with different recipients.

How do you verify which lorries were escorted and what goods arrived?
The package
An escort sets the vehicles in motion; an identity for each package tells what really arrived.

Shared data
Escort and identity
They are two different pieces of information and both are needed.
Before moving on
How many lorries were escorted in Campania to reach the unloading points?
The source
In Campania, about five hundred lorries were escorted to allow drivers who did not join the protest to reach the unloading points, as reported by the news on the escort strategy in Campania.
Escort and identity
Knowing that a vehicle has arrived at the depot is not enough to know what it has unloaded.
Escort and identity
A serialisation, i.e. a unique code on every single package, allows comparing the departed load with the delivered one.
Chapter 3 of 4
How do warehouses and distributors know which deliveries have already left?
Those receiving
Those receiving plan better when they see the loads in transit before they arrive.
Those receiving
The shop with shelves to fill gains precious hours.
From Naples
The news from Naples on the halted deliveries describes supermarkets with empty shelves and most petrol stations running dry.
Those receiving
With the shared status of the packages, the point of sale knows which deliveries have left and can reorganise orders and shifts. Visibility transforms waiting into a decision.
Status and decision
- Ready at the depotBook the unloading
- In transitForecast arrival and organise shifts
- Arrived and readPut the goods back on the shelf
Chapter 4 of 4
What changes for depots when they know which tankers are ready?
The depot
A depot that sees the status of every vehicle restarts sooner and in order.
The depot
Every recorded load is also the shared proof of what went out and when.
San Giovanni a Teduccio
A picket was held in San Giovanni a Teduccio, in front of the former Q8 refinery, where there are still depots used to fill tankers, according to the news on the pickets in front of the depots.
The depot
When every tanker has an identity and a status, the manager can give priority to ready vehicles. The same register documents delays and deliveries for all parties, without conflicting versions.
Note
A reliable datum is a non-clonable and retrievable datum: it is the fourth level of control, protecting.
In a sentence
An arriving lorry is news. A package read at unloading is proof.
