ReposiTrak Simplifies EDI for Food Traceability: A Smarter Solution to Volume-Based Fees

ReposiTrak, an electronic data exchange company, is simplifying EDI for food traceability by acting as a "universal data translator." They take in data in any format and deliver it to retailers in the exact format required, eliminating the need for suppliers to keep up with different data sets and reducing errors. ReposiTrak's approach removes complexity and eliminates volume-based pricing, making it a more affordable solution for high-volume shippers.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of food traceability, ReposiTrak is emerging as a key player in simplifying Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for suppliers. The company's innovative approach to EDI is designed to address the challenges faced by smaller suppliers who lack the capabilities or resources to meet the varied and complex data requirements of large retailers and wholesalers [1].

ReposiTrak acts as a "universal data translator," taking in data from suppliers in its existing format and delivering it to retailers in the exact format required. This eliminates the need for suppliers to keep up with different data sets and reduces errors, which are common in traditional EDI systems [1]. The company's 500+ point error detection process ensures that the data is accurate and compliant before it reaches the retailer.

One of the key advantages of ReposiTrak's solution is its pricing model. Unlike traditional EDI providers, ReposiTrak charges a low, flat fee that is not based on shipment volume. This makes it a more affordable solution for high-volume shippers and helps to reduce the financial burden of meeting traceability requirements [1].

ReposiTrak's service is gaining traction in the food industry. The company recently added 30 cheese suppliers to its Traceability Network, including domestic producers and importers [2]. These suppliers will efficiently exchange intricate, FDA-required Key Data Elements (KDEs) for each Critical Tracking Event (CTE) in their supply chains, with the goal of meeting the growing traceability demands of their retail customers.

ReposiTrak's success is driven by its ability to simplify complex processes and reduce costs for suppliers. By acting as a universal data translator, the company is helping to bridge the gap between suppliers and retailers, and ensuring that food traceability data is accurate, complete, and compliant.
