About Us

Founded in 1982, Trace-It designs and develops high quality, all-encompassing traceability solutions for the countries food supply. The company’s products provide the food industry with data collection, data integration, data warehousing, reporting and analysis tools for increasing profits and reducing risk. Our solutions provide customers increased efficiency, increased visibility, and traceability from the farm to the table.

Food suppliers have three motives for establishing product tracing systems: (a) to improve supply-side management; (b) to differentiate and market foods with subtle or undetectable quality attributes; and (c) to facilitate traceback for food safety and quality. Firms establish traceability systems to achieve one or more of these objectives. Trace-It Systems has been helping to develop and demonstrate methods for rapid and effective tracking and tracing of foods in a manner that is practicale for facilities of varying sizes; including small businesses for over 15 years. We have developed and demonstrated both appropriate technologies and systems to enhance the tracking and tracing of food. In every case we have helped the companies not only achieve one, but all of the objectives listed above.

Why Trace-It?

First of all because like you , we care deeply about WHERE our food comes from; WHO helps to grow it, harvest it, slaughter and package it; HOW farm animals are treated and natural resources are used; and WHY everyone in the food chain works tirelessly to bring it to the table.  We understand that margins in the food industry are small.  We want to help you be efficient so that we can help everyone be profitable while still maintaining sustainable, eco-friendly practices.

Secondly, Trace-It solution is not pieced together, or patched; it is a whole, tested, proven and fully integrated system. We have done this time and time again, we have found all the exceptions,
we have thought of all the things you might not have. We get it and we know it works. We can interface with all sorts of data collection equipment. We don’t rely on a wedge to collect data, or on scanning after the fact. You want a reliable real-time interface, full control, adaptability to new processes or situations, you must connect direct to the source.
Handheld Scanner Independence
Using a terminal server interface for the scanners, there are no worries of conflict from 1 scanner to the next, no lost data because nothing is stored on the scanner itself. One breaks,
hand your picker another one, and he is up and working in under a minute, right where he left off.
Get the right information to the right people at the right time
Give people information they desperately need at the click of a button. We understand that the information needs of your plant personnel is not the same as that of management or
accounting.
Freedom to run your plant, your way and have the system work with you not against you
We understand what plant personnel wants and needs. We have designed our UI’s to be very simple, intuitive, yet collect all the information needed for the task at hand.
