This section discusses the key principles and associated works on the e-file
document management. File tracking enables a personnel to swiftly and precisely locate
any document in the office, no matter where it is located. It enhanced worker efficiency
and productivity allowing employees to make better use of their time. Barcode tracking
systems, which have been widely utilized in a variety of industries, and can give
organizations quick, convenient, and accurate means of automatic data collecting and
file keeping. Barcode labels can be applied to a variety of products, including personal
records, documents, record boxes, and multimedia, as well as a variety of other items.
The label serves as an identifier that may be scanned whenever a document is removed
or returned to a shelf or file room. While the retail market is the most obvious application
of this technology, barcode file tracking has become widely employed for document
According to Lee, Lee, and Kim (2020), a file tracking system based on RFID
technology was designed and implemented, allowing users to track the location and

volume of transactions is significant, files travel through several steps or between many
individuals outside the file room, and security limitations are critical. The non-contact,
non-line-of-sight feature of all forms of RFID file tracking devices provides an overall
advantage. The ability to read tags quickly and in a variety of visually and ecologically
demanding conditions. This functionality is not available with bar codes or other optically
read technologies. RFID technology allows file folders to be checked in or out fast for
records management needs, eliminating the need to scan each file one at a time
documents that employs electronic tags that broadcast radio signals. Users can use an
RFID scanner to scan the data carrier connected to the paper document and transmit
the data to their company server to link it to other programs such as CRM, ERP, and so
on (GLOBODOX, 2022).
According to Rahman, Farid, and Haque (2018), a cloud-based file tracking and
management system was developed with features such as access control, file
electronically store and track their documents. File tracking software enables quick and
easy access to files and assists businesses in reducing their reliance on paper
documents. File tracking software typically includes a variety of extra capabilities that
allow for more detailed management of company documents. More than 90% of firms
utilize file tracking software to keep track of their paperwork. Event logs of document
activity are generated by file tracking systems. These event logs serve as an
document is accessed, changes made to the document, and other activities performed
on the document such as producing a duplicate, sharing through email, and so on. File
tracking systems are used to track unauthorized document activities. To secure these
papers from thefts and leaks, it is critical to trace user activity on them using file tracking
file management systems and improve online document management. This facilitates
Personnel have found document tracking, which entails recording and monitoring
the flow of papers, to be a time-consuming activity. Dislocation and disregard for the
timeline have always been issues with document control. A web-based system, for
example, is the simplest option to adopt in the office. The Accreditation Document
Tracking System (ADTS) is intended to track the movement and timing of documents
from one department to another throughout the certification process (Salleh et at.,
2020).
information technology in general, and electronic file tracking systems in particular, for
enterprises and colleges. The following are some of the primary benefits of such
technologies:
7. Time saving
8. No file redundancy
Electronic File Tracking System (EFTS) is "a web program that manages the
movements of files at any time from one desk/room to another and supports in
managing the efficient flow of files". According to Saldon (2015), File tracking system is
updating, and sharing data files to support workflow progression and business
boosts the productivity of business processes due to its ability to handle communication.
Any desk/room can submit and receive requests and decisions at any time using this
method. For efficient file administration, this file tracking system employs a systematic
approach and assigns each file a unique numbering system, which is used for file status
monitoring and file movement tracking. This system has a very strong search form that
can identify and file files as well as analyze file migration from one location to another.

PEPD RFID provides medical personnel with location and inventory information
for medical devices and materials, allowing them to locate such items quickly and
precisely, improving patient care and hospital service quality. The system enables
medical personnel to quickly locate and inventory specific hospital instruments, boosting
work performance, quality of service, and stock control (Tsai et al., 2019).
