First wholesaler achieves end-to-end supplier-DC-store traceability using ReposiTrak’s cutting-edge technology

SALT LAKE CITY — ReposiTrak, Inc. announced that a leading wholesale grocery cooperative in the Southern United States has become the first wholesaler to achieve full supplier-to-store traceability using ReposiTrak’s Touchless Traceability solution—marking a significant operational and technological milestone in the industry.

This achievement reflects the wholesaler’s leadership in adopting a fundamentally new approach to traceability—one that replaces traditional, labor-intensive scanning processes with a modern, automated data exchange model. By implementing Touchless Traceability, the organization has achieved end-to-end FSMA 204 compliance without requiring case-level scanning, manual data handling, or changes to distribution center workflows.

Rather than relying on scanning or reconstructing product movement after the fact, ReposiTrak electronically captures FDA-required Key Data Elements (KDEs) directly from suppliers at the time of shipment and from receivers at time of delivery so that no case scanning is required. This not only eliminates scanning, but it also provides a robust error detection and correction process to provide extremely high levels of accuracy without touching any of the product.

“This is a meaningful achievement for this wholesaler,” said Randy Fields, chairman and CEO of ReposiTrak. “They made the decision to move beyond legacy approaches and adopt a modern, network-based model for traceability. The result is full compliance without adding work to the DC. That’s what Touchless Traceability enables—accurate data flowing automatically, without scanning, without manual intervention, and without operational friction.”

By successfully deploying this model, the wholesaler has demonstrated that large-scale traceability can be both operationally practical and technologically advanced, setting a new standard for the industry.

Additional wholesalers and retailers are already in various stages of deployment and are expected to achieve full supplier-to-store traceability using ReposiTrak’s Touchless Traceability solution in the coming months, further validating the scalability and repeatability of this approach.
