[Monthly Product Updates](https://info.ifoodds.com/kb-trace-exchange/monthly-product-updates?hsLang=en) November 2, 2026 # November 2026 - Monthly Product Update ## What's New in Trace Exchange | November 2026 Welcome to your monthly iFoodDS Trace Exchange update. Here’s a look at the latest features and enhancements available in the platform, along with new resources and upcoming Office Hours sessions to help you make the most of Trace Exchange. ### **NEW: Supplier Network Engagement Dashboard** *Available to Trace Exchange Enterprise administrators*![](https://info.ifoodds.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Oct-30-2026-02-53-12-6612-AM.png?width=624&height=351&name=undefined-Oct-30-2026-02-53-12-6612-AM.png) Get a clearer picture of how your suppliers are engaging with your organization in Trace Exchange. The new Supplier Network Engagement Dashboard shows which suppliers have joined the network, connected with your organization, and started sharing shipping records—all in one place. Use these insights to identify where your suppliers are in their engagement journey, see where additional follow-up may be needed, and click into supplier lists to explore the details. The dashboard updates daily, giving you visibility into your supplier network’s progress without having to track it manually. Note that you need to share your supplier list to populate this dashboard. If you haven’t done so, reach out to [supplierlists@ifoodds.com](mailto:supplierlists@ifoodds.com) for more details. **[Learn how to use the Supplier Network Engagement Dashboard](https://info.ifoodds.com/kb-trace-exchange/how-to-view-your-supplier-network-engagement?hsLang=en)** ### **New Filtering and Export Options for Your Supplier Network** ![Your Supplier Network-3](https://info.ifoodds.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Your%20Supplier%20Network-3.png?width=670&height=377&name=Your%20Supplier%20Network-3.png) You can now filter your Supplier Network Dashboard to focus on specific suppliers based on their connection or record-sharing status. Available filters vary depending on your Trace Exchange plan. You can also export your supplier list into a spreadsheet, making it easier to review supplier information and work with it outside the platform. **[Visit Your Supplier Network](https://admin.ifoodds.com/trading-partners/suppliers)**   ### **NEW: Share Your Wholechain Data Through Trace Exchange** Already using Wholechain? You can now share shipping records captured in Wholechain with customers who use Trace Exchange, without entering the same information twice. Our new integration allows shipping records to flow from Wholechain into Trace Exchange, where they can be shared with your connected customers. We’re continuing to work with other technology partners to make it easier to share traceability data across platforms, without duplicating work or replacing systems that already work for your company. **[Visit the Integration Hub](https://datamanagement.ifoodds.com/partner-marketplace)**   ### **Manage and Download Your Master Data** Finding and reviewing your master data is now easier. You can search your existing product and location records to quickly locate the information you need, or download your complete product or location list to a spreadsheet for review. Whether you’re checking product details or reviewing your location information, these enhancements make it easier to manage the data you’ve already captured in Trace Exchange. **View your [Master Product](https://admin.ifoodds.com/products) and [Master Location](https://admin.ifoodds.com/locations) dashboards.**   ### **More Customers Supported Through ASN Add-On** *Available as an add-on for Trace Exchange Core* You can now use our ASN add-on service to send Advance Ship Notices (ASNs) to Albertsons and Safeway, in addition to Walmart and Kroger. This expands your options for sharing shipping information with customers that require ASNs, directly through Trace Exchange. **[Learn more about EDI features](https://info.ifoodds.com/kb-trace-exchange/how-to-purchase-an-edi-connection?hsLang=en)**   ---   **RESOURCES & LEARNING** ### **New Guides to Help You Get More Out of Trace Exchange** Whether you’re just getting started or looking to explore more of the platform, we’ve added two resources to help. **Quick Start Guide for Suppliers** Follow four simple steps to get up and running in Trace Exchange: connect with customers, capture your master product and location data, start sharing shipping records, and track your progress. **[Download the Quick Start Guide](https://info.ifoodds.com/kb-trace-exchange/trace-exchange-customer-portal-fulfillment-guides?hsLang=en)** **User Guide for Trace Exchange Core** Explore Trace Exchange’s features and functionality with a more comprehensive guide to navigating and using the platform.
