A truck crosses a weighing station and an IoT sensor automatically records the timestamp. Virtual Time Capture describes this automated, event-triggered recording of time-stamped events throughout the supply chain—triggered by geofencing boundaries, sensor signals, or GPS coordinates rather than manual entry. In customs clearance and warehousing, this documents arrival and departure times at facilities and creates a continuous digital audit trail for regulatory compliance and supply chain visibility.
