Trace One and GS1 GERMANY will be improving supply chain transparency for complex ingredient and non-transformed products, such as fresh fish, meat and produce.
They will leverage the fTrace batch-oriented tracing solution and Trace One’s cloud-based T Transparency solution to strengthen supply chain partner visibility and communications.
The partnership will create a unified system through which brand owners can easily identify the entire supply chain, validate data, reduce risks and ensure safety for all transformed and batch products from farm to fork.
This transparent network will establish a dashboard of proactive partner information that streamlines supply chain communications and enhances partner knowledge, and thereby leads to accurate brand and product information that empowers consumers to shop with greater confidence.
In addition to enabling secure, real-time communications among all supply chain partners, this new end-to-end transparency and traceability partnership will allow retailers, manufacturers and raw material suppliers to access all facilities’ certifications and audits, and identify where raw ingredients are sourced from.
“Communication and collaboration along the supply chain is a key factor in a successful business relationship,” says Jörg Pretzel, GS1 Germany.
“The integration of GS1 Germany fTrace solution with Trace One T Transparency will bring the supply chain management to a new and reinforced level of confidence from farm to fork.”
