Transparency

In a world where food production takes place far away from the customer, and the supply chain is more complex, there is a growing concern for the safety of what we eat. Thus, traceability of food products and their ingredients is gaining significance now more than ever.

Transparency helps companies maintain the highest quality. For consumers, it is an assurance that a product is good for their health and wellbeing.

As of July 1st, 2012 the European Union adopted a new, stricter, version of their implementing regulation 931/2011 where in is stipulated that origin, usage and storage of any batch has to be instantaneously available.

Because of this, a professional batch tracking system is nowadays indispensable for a responsible

food trading, producing or distributing company and a major part of their

quality management policies.

Instantaneous availability of batch information on food products and each of their ingredients is in case of an emergency essential to limit damage and to be able to take appropriate steps immediately.

traceability

Despite the fact that traceability is so important to consumer protection and the liability of your company, many companies still record their batches manually in a spreadsheet, or even worse; handwritten on paper.

In case of an emergency this could lead to serious problems. Even when the number of deliveries is relatively small, a company could find it hard to deal with a sudden need for exact data.

Only with a professional, IT-supported, tracking system all necessary information can be made available in a clear and comprehensive manner.
