Traceability · FSMA 204 · Recall readiness
Food traceability from receipt to dispatch.
Follow each lot from receipt to dispatch and export traceability records when asked.
KDEs captured at every critical tracking event
Receiving, transformation, creation and shipping events record the required key data elements as part of normal work, not as extra paperwork.
Mock Recalls
Run a withdrawal exercise on demand and export the full distribution list with quantities and destinations.
GS1 labelling that carries the lot
GS1-128 and GTIN/lot/date encoding so downstream partners can read what you captured.
What goes wrong today3 common problems
Traceability Depends on Paper and Memory
Reconstructing which raw lots went into which finished pallet takes days when it should take seconds.
Recalls are over-broad and expensive
Without lot-level genealogy, plants withdraw far more product than the incident actually touched.
FSMA 204 records are not sortable
Scanned sheets do not qualify.

Common questions3 answers
- What is food traceability software?
- It records lot-level movement and transformation of food through the supply chain, capturing the key data elements at each critical tracking event so product can be traced one step forward and one step back — the basis of recall readiness and FSMA 204 compliance.
- How fast can we run a mock recall?
- Minutes. Select the lot and V5 returns every ingredient lot consumed, every finished lot produced and every customer shipment affected, with quantities.
- Does it work with GS1 barcodes?
- Yes — GS1-128 and GTIN with lot and date application identifiers are generated and read natively, so lot identity survives across trading partners.
