For nearly three decades, iTradeNetwork has helped growers, shippers and buyers move fresh product efficiently and safely across the supply chain. As traceability regulations tighten and buyers demand more visibility into where their food comes from, iTradeNetwork’s platform gives customers the tools to capture, verify and share data from farm to table, all within the systems they already use. iTradeNetwork A key new capability is case-level traceability designed to simplify FSMA 204 compliance and dramatically improve recall precision. With just the case GTIN and lot/batch number, customers can quickly identify where a product was grown, precooled, packed, shipped and received. Instead of broad market withdrawals, companies can isolate and remove only the affected product—enabling “surgical recalls” down to the carton level. This precision can significantly reduce the financial impact of food-safety events while protecting unaffected inventory, customers and brand reputation.
