Food traceability: Say goodbye to handwritten management
Traceability has become a crucial issue for the agri-food industry, one of the most regulated in Quebec. Farmers and processors have to meet strict requirements for product tracking and management throughout the supply chain. TRANSFO is an innovative software solution that can help.
Traceability
Traceability is the process of tracking and documenting products throughout the supply chain, from production to consumption. The aim is to be able to trace their origin and route, as well as all stages of processing, storage, transport and distribution.
Here are just a few of the many benefits of traceability:
- ENHANCE QUALITY AND SAFETY
Traceability enables farmers to track their produce from harvest to market, and thus identify any quality or safety problems. Processors can thus be sure that the raw materials they use are of the highest quality and meet current health standards. - IMPROVE RECALL MANAGEMENT
Traceability is essential for managing recalls in the supply chain. In the event of contamination or a risk to public health, a rapid and effective recall can make all the difference. Thanks to accurate traceability data, farmers and processors can quickly identify the source of the problem, the batches concerned and the customers who received the products in question. They can also quickly locate unusable products, limit losses and avoid disastrous consequences for their company’s health and reputation. - ACCESS DATA IN REAL TIME
One of the major benefits of traceability systems is real-time access to important supply chain data, which improves the ability to make informed decisions. Information such as stock levels, customer demand and delivery times are easily accessible. Farmers and processors can therefore plan and adapt quickly to changes in demand. - REDUCE THE RISK OF HUMAN ERROR
TRANSFO reduces manual data entry by automating the collection of information at every stage of the supply chain. This reduces the risk of human error, which can have costly consequences. Thanks to the use of technologies such as barcodes and RFID tags, data is collected quickly and accurately. In this way, farmers and processors save time, improve operational efficiency, and reduce the costs associated with errors and inefficiencies.
In conclusion, traceability is a crucial issue for the Quebec agri-food industry. By opting for an automated solution, local farmers and processors can guarantee the quality of their products, preserve their reputation and increase their profitability.
