Slide 17: Traceability data sharing is a challenge for suppliers
Traceability data sharing is a challenge for suppliers Every customer will want different data, shared in a different way. “Connect to my internal portal” “Connect to my third-party portal” “Send an EDI 856 ASN with these 20 data elements” “Use my blockchain” 17
Slide 18: Do you have a way to share the additional data with your customers?

Slide 21: Labels are Important…
Labels are Important… …But labels alone can’t deliver full FSMA traceability success. • Label scanning alone won’t create a complete KDE record, the other KDEs need to be collected some other way. • If your cases don’t have a label with a human or machine-readable lot code, your product will be refu
Slide 22: The problem with ASNs and EDI

Slide 30: Get a handle on what traceability data your customers need
Get a handle on what traceability data do your customers need for every shipment. Traceability is no longer ‘one forward-one back,’ as defined under the Bioterrorism Act of 2002.
