Why now

The pressure on traceability only goes one way.

Regulators tighten the rules. Retailers and consumers ask for more. And in 2027 the checkout barcode changes worldwide.

Regulators

IFS, BRCGS, FSSC and EU 178/2002 keep raising the bar. Findings and fines cost real money.

Retailers

Supermarkets and wholesalers demand documented traceability on every batch. No proof, no shelf space.

Customers and consumers

B2B customers expect batch docs. Consumers scan a QR for origin, allergens and lot info.

GS1 Sunrise 2027

From end-2027, 2D checkout barcodes carry batch and expiry data. No digital traceability, no Sunrise.

The shopfloor

  • Finished products: Finished and packed, with the right label
  • Deliveries: Every box scanned out to the right customer
  • AI-powered, for minimal overhead on the floor

Common questions

What plant managers ask us first.

Will QA have less work, or just different work?
Less. Every action is captured as it happens, so the trace builds itself. QA stops rebuilding the timeline and spends the time on improvement.
We don't have a QA team.
Then recalls, audit prep and trace requests land on you, on top of running production. Tracena turns that into work that's already done: every action captured, every batch traceable, every export one click away. QA-grade traceability without the QA-grade headcount.
How quickly can we go live?
Most manufacturers are live within two weeks, receiving to production. We import your material and recipe data, train key operators on-site, and the rest learn by doing. The app is intentionally that simple.
Do we still need our ERP?
Yes, likely. Tracena runs the production floor; your ERP keeps accounting and orders. The two run fine side by side, and we integrate at your pace. No ERP yet? Tracena runs perfectly on its own.
Do we need to integrate with our ERP right away?
No. Tracena is an independent platform for your data. We connect your ERP only when you want to sync certain elements, and only when your team is ready.
What does onboarding and training look like?
We start with a short analysis of your processes and data, walk the platform through with your team, and stay available for questions.
What hardware do we need on the shop floor?
Tracena runs in the browser. Usually rugged tablets or PCs with internet are enough. We integrate with most scanners and label printers, and review together what you have and what to add.
Where is data stored?
All your data is stored in Europe.
