Data Link options for Food Retailers and Restaurants vs. options for Suppliers.
Final Mile Data Link for Food Retailers and Restaurants
A Final Mile Data Link is designed for organizations at the “Final Mile” of the supply chain, such as Food Retailers (grocery stores or convenience stores) and Restaurants. A Final Mile Data Link enables you to receive shipping KDEs from your suppliers and create receiving events to be in compliance with FSMA 204. It will also enable you to generate electronic sortable spreadsheets.
If you are a Food Retailer or Restaurant who also prepares and ships foods to other locations, has warehouses that ship products on the FTL, or repack and ship product, you will need a FSMA 204 solution.
Supplier Data Link for Food Suppliers
A Supplier Data Link is for organizations who supply food to other organizations in the supply chain, like a distribution center or grocery store. A Supplier Data Link enables one-to-one sharing only, meaning each Data Link allows you to share shipping data with one customer.
If you need to share shipping data with multiple customers, you will need a Data Link for each one, or a FSMA 204 solution, which will enable your organization to share with multiple customers and fully comply with FSMA 204.
