WE CREATE TRANSPARENCY FOR RETAILERS

Supply chain transparency – indispensable in retail

The increasing demand for transparency in supply chains, as well as for traceability and sustainability, is just one of the particular challenges facing those in the food industry. As the intermediary between manufacturers and consumers, retailers have a key role to play in providing transparent information – particularly in the event of a crisis situation when the public eye turns upon them! Manufacturers and distributors of own brands are legally and ethically responsible for the safety of their products. ftrace helps retailers to meet these growing demands. By standardising supply chain data, ftrace enables all players in the food industry to exploit this information, which could be used for verifying data quality, analysing the supply chain in the event of a crisis or communicating with customers – not to mention increasing efficiency by digitalising the fresh food counters.
