ReposiTrak & Upshop Eliminate Gaps in Traceability with an End-to-End Solution
The recently announced partnership between ReposiTrak (NYSE:TRAK), the world's largest food traceability network, and Upshop, the technology leader in store operations for food retail, effectively ends the need for retailers to cobble together traceability solutions for FSMA 204. Retailers can leverage existing supply chain data from ReposiTrak and in-store technology from Upshop for seamless, source-to-store traceability that's fast and easy to implement.
"Retailers had been addressing traceability in fragments to this point, collecting data from various Critical Tracking Events through various systems and solutions, and failing to put the pieces together," explained ReposiTrak Chairman and CEO Randy Fields. "For years, we've been building a network of thousands of suppliers working to share supply chain traceability data. At the same time, Upshop has been perfecting in-store technology. When leveraged together, the retailer gets a full, end-to-end traceability solution."
For retailers, the key benefits of the partnership are:
- Supply chain traceability data through ReposiTrak, who operates the world's largest supply chain database.
-
Integrated store-level receiving from Upshop for:
- Receipts from DSD, DC, commissary and store-to-store transfers
- In-store transformations (e.g., lettuce used in sandwiches)
- Meeting the requirements of the FDA's FSMA 204 final rule on food traceability
- Improved order and invoice reconciliation
- Strengthened food safety and customer trust
"With less than a year until enforcement begins, retailers finally have access to a connected, proven traceability solution," said Upshop Chief Innovation and Strategy Officer Mark Hawthorne. "Both technologies have been used throughout the industry for years, and there's no need for retailers to keep searching for new or otherwise untested solutions. When you work with ReposiTrak and Upshop together, you get a source-to-store traceability solution."
