Today’s brand owners and suppliers
Global brands and suppliers increasingly rely on data to drive consumer engagement and partner for success.
Chiquita placed stickers with a Shazam code on its products that consumers could scan to see videos of how bananas move through the supply chain from Latin American farms to U.S. stores.
Marks & Spencer (M&S), one of the UK’s largest retailers, launched an interactive map to show where it sources all 47 species of fish and shellfish that it sells in its nearly 1,000 locations, plotting the 71 fisheries in 29 countries from which it sources.

2. Align Master Data- Product data and other relateddata (e.g. identification of parties and physicallocations) is aligned between trading partners
3. Record Traceability Data- Collect, share and storetraceability data during the product’s physical flow
4. Request Trace determines how to initiate andrespond to a traceability request.
5. Use information to resolve a quality issue or toconduct a product recall/withdrawal
Traceability Process
Data is checked and validated before this goes into any registry/ shared with any trading partner
