Traceability

Fresh produce traceability, from picker to pallet

When a customer calls about one box, you need to know where it came from and where the rest went, in minutes. FreshTrack records each step as it happens, so the trail already exists when you need it.

What it records

  • Where it grew. Farm, block and planting, with the sprays and activities recorded against it.
  • Who picked it and when. Bins, crates and buckets scanned in the field.
  • How it was packed. Receival, tipping, grading and packing, by batch.
  • What it became. Cartons and pallets, each with its own barcode.
  • Where it went. The load, the carrier and the customer.
  • What happened after. Repacks, splits and reconsignments at a distributor, traced back to the original load.

Trace in both directions

Start from a box, a pallet or a load and go back to the harvest load, the grower and the planting. Or start from a block and a date and go forward to every pallet and customer that received its fruit. That is what a recall needs, and what an audit asks you to prove.

Built on GS1 standards

Barcodes follow GS1 standards, with SSCC labels on pallets and GS1 Digital Link on labels. FreshTrack Systems is listed by GS1 Australia as an Associate Alliance Partner.
