Produce Traceability Initiative Best Addressed by TraceGains’ LabelTrace Repack

Recently TraceGains introduced LabelTrace Repack for Produce Traceability Initiative. According to Gary Nowacki, CEO of TraceGains, “LabelTrace Repack is fully compliant with Product Traceability Initiative and can be easily labeled in the field or pack-shed.  It tracks all commingling and repack operations as well as provides bidirectional traceability at the item-level.  This new system meetings the GS-1 standards and manages GTINs.  There is no software to buy or install, no hardware in the field or pack-shed…and a simple cost-effective monthly service fee.”

The mission at TraceGains (www.TraceGains.com) is to protect the brand of food and beverage clients by eliminating problems before product is shipped to the customer.   If a problem does occur this unique solution can minimize the brand damage by using patented recall trace-back and track-forward technologies. A recall alert can be initiated within minutes, reducing potentially bad news to one news cycle, and saving customers millions of dollars in long-term brand rehabilitation costs.

Produce solutions must be quick to market, provide quick results, and a quick ROI (return on investment.)  Knowing where all the material comes from, which finished products it goes into, and where these finished products are shipped are critical for successful recall management and for maintaining existing or establishing new retailer relationships.

LabelTrace Repack is simple yet powerful.  Using a secure Web-based portal, Trace Gains’ customers can see all information in an environment the company hosts, thus eliminating any extra IT burden.  It allows all reports and labels to be printed locally or have labels printed off-site.  The process is simple:

1. Print labels, production pick tickets, and other documentation for inbound materials.
2. Receive inbound materials and apply receiving labels.
3. Repack and maintain identity by associated specific received materials with pack-out.
4. Review repack information online and perform bidirectional traces.
