In the current issue of Business Excellence magazine, manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler profiled Gary Nowacki in the feature article titled, "Farm to Fork." Cutler outlines the traceability solutions needed to deal with the increasing incidence of food contamination

According to TraceGains CEO, Gary Nowacki, "Technology Solutions utilizing positively assured traceability enable cross-enterprise traceability without the participants needing to re-architect their IT infrastructure...true farm-to-fork traceability, including all owners and handlers, and transformative processes." 

Nowacki makes it clear that, "Unlike the traceability that is mandated in the Bioterrorism Act or part of a food company's HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) program, few technology solutions allow integration of available live animal data." 

TraceGains, Inc. (www.TraceGains.com) was founded in 1998 with a 100% focus on Positively Assured TraceabilityTM. The company has a patented delivery system-14 patents granted and growing-and also is an authorized Issuer of United States Department of Agriculture Process Verification Program (PVP) Label.

By providing real-time, bi-directional Positively Assured Traceability for food, beverage, and CPG supply chains, TraceGains reduces risks to the corporation and its executives, who may become personally liable in case of a recall, if unable to comply with the FDA's 24-hour traceability requirement.

Positively Assured Traceability provides protection to subscribing companies by delivering:

--         Continuous attribute visibility for each incoming ingredient receipt.

--         Identity preservation of each received material across commingling, batching, blending, transformation, co-pack, and re-work.

--         Creation of a secure Private TraceStream Data Repository which can be used for continuous compliance monitoring, constantly comparing on-floor activities with business rules and compliancy requirements.

TraceGains is not just about reducing risk; these unique technology solutions help companies turn disparate data into actionable business and value chain intelligence; it turns traceability from a cost center into a profit center. TraceGains customers typically experience a better than 300% return on investment (ROI), and an average profitability increase between 3-5%. Independent, peer-reviewed university studies confirm these findings.

Only TraceGains provides bi-directional unit-level (item, carton, pallet) Positively Assured Traceability to consolidate multiple legacy data sources and reduce corporate recall risk, while simultaneously providing the tools to boost profitability and cost-effectively improve operational excellence.
