How it works
Growers, packers and wholesalers apply a barcode or QR code to the item of their choice – invoice, bill of lading, pallet label, case label or consumer unit. Chain-Trace publishes the linked traceability records to a blockchain and supports off-chain data for purchasers who do not want everything public.
Blockchain in context
Enterprise platforms built on Hyperledger Fabric (such as IBM Food Trust) proved the concept for large retailers, but subscription costs kept small and medium packers out. Research and industry reviews consistently find that data quality at capture – scanning at every hand-off – matters more than the ledger technology itself.
Traceability built into every scan
- Lot label at receival with supplier, field and harvest data
- Storage moves recorded by scan
- Batch inputs (produce and packaging) linked to outputs
- QC results and photos attached to the lot
- Pallets scanned to customer, PO and invoice
- Recall by supplier, lot, PO, invoice, pallet, date or any custom key
