CDC Software has launched Trace Express Viewer, a new offering for its Ross ERP Lot Trace application that enables faster access and immediate forward and backward trace functionality to identify suspect materials and assist in the disposition of finished goods in the event of a product recall.
According to CDC Software, the Trace Express Viewer allows food processors, life sciences and chemicals enterprises to obtain a graphical representation of the lot trace that enables the user to trace forward and backward to determine the disposition and related properties of any ingredient, intermediate or finished product at any point throughout the materials receiving, manufacturing, inventory, sales and delivery processes.
The company said that the offering helps to reduce the time it takes to identify, review and process data related to a particular lot throughout a user’s supply chain. It helps to reduce response times to potential problems, which can ensure brand protection and also provides access and one-step track and trace that offers a 360 degree view into a product lot’s activity.
Alan MacLamroc, chief product and technology officer of CDC Software, said: “Trace Express Viewer raises the bar in safety and quality control by providing dynamic and comprehensive visibility in the track and trace processes for enterprises in highly regulated industries.
“We believe that this new product will not only help manufacturers further reduce the risks of an actual recall, but also proactively provide the brand assurance that all participants in the supply chain, including consumers, are currently seeking as global concerns about food and drug safety continue to rise.”
