Automated chain of custody tracking techniques

Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure object provide tracking and monitoring techniques for implementing improved distribution systems in various environments. The techniques may include generating an intake data object including an intake identifier and an object identifier respectively corresponding to a plurality of intake objects. The intake data object is used to generate transitioning data objects corresponding to a subset of the intake objects. The intake data object may be modified with a transition identifier to link the objects. In addition, one or both identifiers may be added to a backstop data object to link the subset of intake objects to a backstop location. In response to a request, the subset of intake objects may be moved from the backstop location to conveyor pallet, and, in response, the transition and intake identifier may be removed from the backstop data object and added to a conveyor pallet data object.
