Why should I choose the Trace Exchange Core solution?

Understand the benefits of purchasing a Trace Exchange Core solution.

The FDA’s Food Traceability Rule (FSMA 204) requires persons who manufacture, process, pack, or hold foods on the Food Traceability List (FTL) to maintain and provide their supply chain partners with key data elements (KDEs) for certain critical tracking events (CTEs) in the food’s supply chain. To learn more about FSMA 204 and how its requirements apply to your organization, view our FSMA 204 information and resource guide

If your organization does not already have a solution in place to help meet FSMA 204 recordkeeping and sharing requirements, we recommend our Trace Exchange Core solution. This solution will allow you to: 

  • Respond faster to recalls: Avoid costs related to product loss or litigation and protect your brand reputation.
  • Capture and store KDEs: Securely capture and store shipping, receiving, transformation, initial packing, and first land-based receiver data essential for FSMA 204 compliance. Choose the method that works best for your organization, including API, ASN, flat file,  iFoodDS data integration partners, or event capture apps. 
  • Automatically Record Receiving CTEs and KDEs: Easily integrate with existing workflows and systems to save time and reduce cost. 
  • Share KDEs: Effortlessly share KDEs with all your customers from one platform, reducing complexity and cost. 
  • Traceback and Forward: Gain supply chain visibility through comprehensive reports and dashboards. 
  • Generate Electronic Sortable Spreadsheets: Quickly generate electronic sortable spreadsheets with data needed by FDA for FSMA 204 compliance. 
  • Manage Master Data: Store and manage your organization’s master data to streamline the process of sharing shipping KDEs with your customers.
